The quirky and minimalist HP Colour LaserJet CM1312N is one of the most space saving printers in the market. While it is ample for small-scale printing and personal use, it is rather slow compared to its counterparts. Inks can be pricey, so it is not the best choice for demanding print jobs.
Design
The Colour LaserJet CM1312N is simple and easy to set-up because of its minimalist frame. It's also intuitive and uncomplicated, having only a few buttons. This elegant multifunction printer features an angled 2-line display, 16-character LCD (without any backlight). Monochrome print speed is 12 ppm, and colour print speed is 8 ppm.
Advantages
The design is one of the selling points of the HP Colour LaserJet CM1312N. It also boasts 160MB of memory, enabling it to easily reprint documents and multitask. The quality of the prints and copies are good, and operation is a breeze. HP has thrown in software to enhance the quality of printing, copying, and scanning. The HP Colour LaserJet CM1312N supports xD-Picture Card, SD Memory Card, and Memory Stick to SmartMedia, CompactFlash, and MultiMediaCard.
Disadvantages
The HP Colour LaserJet CM1312N uses a rather small and outdated LCD display without backlight. The scanner can be difficult to find at first; it is not noticeable and does not hinge up. The absence of WiFi and compatibility to networks limit connectivity and can get in the way of productivity. The HP Colour LaserJet CM1312N does not have a manual feed tray or slot, which can be a hassle if you want to print on other types of media like envelopes and labels. Users also report the printer's tendency to freeze and slow down. Paper jams are very common, and ink is expensive.
