HP Fax 1220 Printer Review
Expert review of the HP Fax 1220 printer
Designed to be a fuss-free fax machine and printer in one, the HP Fax 1220 is an efficient multifunction device aimed at home and small office. It is made for low-volume faxing and printing needs and boasts decent copy and scan functions. However, this device is flimsily-designed. Lack of customer support is also a problem.
Design
The HP Fax 1220 weighs 21.5 pounds, which is quite heavy for a compact device. The selling point of this device is the fax machine, which is integrated with multiple dialling modes (manual, monitor, and program), a 33.6 Kbps modem, and an image memory of up to 90 entries. It also has a 36-bit colour 600x600 dpi copier. Both the automatic document feeder and output tray of the HP Fax 1220 can accommodate 16 to 24-pound paper.
Advantages
This multifunction printer is a space-saver and is very versatile. It is often praised for its low initial cost and the speedy fax machine, which is also integrated with a copy function. The HP Fax 1220 can accommodate up to 100 entries in the speed dial feature, and can scan documents and save them into the built-in memory before being sent.
Disadvantages
The speed of the HP Fax 1220 could be improved, as it is still sub-par when compared to other HP office printers. Customer support is also reported to be inefficient and unhelpful. The HP Fax 1220 has a flimsily-designed paper feed that is very prone to paper jams. It also tends to be a little noisy at 53 dbA when printing in 'econofast' mode.
