Advantages: We print text in large quantities every day, on average, three packs of paper a day go out, but sometimes eight are left! Good compatibility with unix-systems, connected on Linux Ubuntu and Linux Mint - works great, no driver installation required. They consume significantly less electricity than our old machine. Flexible settings and a very convenient and intuitive interface, you can configure the MFP to the needs of a particular user.

Disadvantages: Roll printing is not supported.

Comment: After the decommissioning of the failed MFP, Xerox acquired Konica Minolta bizhub C224e, currently in use for about 7 months. Initially we planned to purchase a printer, scanner and copier separately, but later we were forced to abandon this idea, since all these devices separately would take up too much free space in our office and so there is a shortage. But we were delighted after the acquisition of this MFP, and this is not surprising, considering all its advantages!

Advantages: Fast scanner. Duplex. Quickly out of economy mode. Print quality is almost offset (good).Not tupit. Does not fade - if the paper is correctly selected. Long enough toner. I use it recently - I have not repaired it yet. Two trays - one for A4 - the other - for A3!

Disadvantages: Because of the cost of spare parts (and there are many of them), the cost price of a print is not small (but at the same time it is not large compared to others). Long handles photos (especially through a print wizard). The edges of the documents when working with the scanner can get stuck in the gaps between the glass and the body (be careful with important documents). Sometimes there is enough paper from the universal tray, when it is not fully packed yet - it pulls straight out of the hand, if you take it straight, then you are lucky. In the driver, the paper density is divided into “thick 1,2,2,3”, but there is no grammar! I tried the paper Sirio Pearl 300 gr - it sounds scary - I don’t print it ... But somehow sheets 20 of expensive paper 250 gr. screwed up due to the fact that I chose "thick 4" (this is for the thickest as I understood) the overheating of the paper turned out - jammed in the oven, so I chose a smaller density - "thick 3" ... printed all sheets ..., and the client then returned the order due to the fact that the powder was peeling off - unpleasantly ... and the client was lost and the printer was tormented. In general, if on ordinary paper 80-ke, 160-ke - then it goes, more complicated - I didn’t experiment much - it's scary, an expensive printer for experiments. Well, the menu is sophisticated ...

Comment: For an office, as a scanner, an A4, A3 printer on an 80-ke and 160-ke is a great option, well, straight to the 5-point. Take without thinking. But for printing - business cards for 250-300gr, etc. - I do not know, but it seems to me that it will not be enough for a long time.

Advantages: Works and can not stand the brain. For your money - a masterpiece. The cost of the original consumables like the other alternatives.

Disadvantages: Well, it is somehow office-level apparatus and for use in the printing industry, it is not intended. However, it is for her that it is often used in Russia.

Comment: I’m actually writing what to say - the device does not take A3, but the SRA3 paper - an error in the description. For professionals, a very serious difference!
High-grade 320 * 450 mm. paper.
By the way: the drums go one and a half to two laps. With minimal manipulation (replacing the chip), you can use black drums in the place of color = saving twice (well, the guarantee is probably tyutu ... but personally she never cared for me at all).
Apparatus intend, apparently, the fact that to go through 600,000 copies of color and go to the scrap (or go to the state of the CD. Copier). Proceeding from this, the cost price should be considered - the calculation with the laying of the price of developers, which stand in sum almost like a new printer, but replaced only after 600,000 copies is not true to lay down ..
Well, in general, a good machine, allows you to earn money without problems.
I have a 284th model .... But the essence does not change :)

Advantages: Excellent quality, funtstsional. Well, a very economical expense compared to budget class printers. In view of the fact that relatively small print volumes (compared to large offices) do not require regular maintenance. (They promised to do it once every two years =))

Disadvantages: Well, this is probably not a flaw in this particular model, but in general a flaw in devices of this type - all the pre-ops are bought separately and cost a lot.

Comment: Bought into the office for 4 people. The operation of the device is mainly copying and printing b / w, scanning, rarely printing in color.
Connected to LAN - very convenient!
It works for three months - there are no problems, it does not ask for food.

Advantages: Reliability. Extensive customization options. Cost of printing. Available parts and consumables.

Disadvantages: Lightly sophisticated user menu. Only the user who needs it will be dealt with. learning is useless.

Comment: We use already 6 such MFPs. In the work there are no complaints. The print controller is significantly larger than the previous C220 model. Users are trying to steal the stylus all the time. :)

Advantages: Print quality
Scan speed
Powder stock for 20k copies
In general, the price-quality ratio is excellent, (in favor of the price))) it is possible to suffer a little, since the same analogue from HP color + ADF + stand will cost 60-80 tr. expensive.

Disadvantages: Not convenient web-interface
Not user friendly touch screen interface

Comment: This unit was bought in the office to replace the A3 color jet and the BW laser. Put for a wide range of users who need to copy, scan with sending scans to them by mail, print color schemes of A3 format, etc.
Previously, for general use (mainly scanning) stood the HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 MFP M525dn, so all the parallels were made with it. There are no questions to print, everything is fine: the quality, speed, color rendition, the copy makes almost no difference from the original picture. Scans also good and very good. fast with ADF.
In order for you to have a guarantee for the MFP, the master must come from the SC and make the first launch, install the ADF and other attachments, if you bought one. He also Russified the LCD screen menu, the web-interface still does not have Russification and no firmware.
Among the shortcomings, I can only say about its setting: you will break your web-interface while you find what you need, besides Russification is still NOT.
The same with the settings on the display screen, the display itself is quite large and of high quality (a stylus without a rope is attached to it), the first screen can be configured, select the necessary functions: scanning, copying, fax ... everything is clear, but as soon as you get to The scan menu has a lot of different settings here, although 95% of the scans are done with the default settings, most of the screen is occupied by different settings buttons, although it’s better instead to display a list of employees ’email addresses, which is also not logical at all (half by alpha Vita, half as horrible), Russian letters on the search there, all to scroll the list until they find themselves. In general, it’s not HP at all who used it, he will understand, there are not enough trifles, smoothness of lines, the intuitiveness of the interface is not completely refined, after HP users often have questions. There is no interface unification, as if something new is invented.
