Colour printing capabilities make the HP LaserJet M176n useful for producing impressive documents, while advanced connectivity features simplify printing from mobile devices.
Design
The HP Colour LaserJet Pro M176n printer looks inconspicuous with a boxy and understated frame that measures 423mm wide, 280mm tall, and 425mm deep, and weighs 15kg. It has a flatbed scanner, digital copier, and a laser printer that supports PCLm and PCLms languages. The multifunction device is powered by a 600Mhz processor and runs on 128MB of memory. The standard input tray can handle 150 sheets, while the output bin can handle 50 sheets. The main interfaces are high-speed USB 2.0 and fast Ethernet. The control panel on the Colour LaserJet M176n MFP has a two-line, 16-character monochrome LCD backlit display.
Advantages
HP ePrint and Apple AirPrint are supported so users can print directly from their tablets and smartphones. The HP Colour LaserJet Pro MFP M176n multifunction printer can be hooked up to a network with ease and shared by a few users. It supports a wide range of media types like transparencies, recycled and rough paper, and post cards. Up to 99 copies can be reproduced by the LaserJet M176n colour printer from an original document. To save money, users can purchase a pack of all four HP Colour LaserJet M176n toner cartridges from discount online retailers.
Disadvantages
The HP M176n colour laser printer is slow when printing in colour (4ppm). Without ImageREt 2400, the print resolution is limited to 600x600dpi, which is not enough for high resolution graphics and very detailed images. Paper feeding can be challenging for the HP M176n printer because the device lacks an automatic paper sensor. It doesn't have any wireless capabilities or an automatic document feeder. There are no options to expand the memory and paper capacity.
