Introduction
Still very much the leader when it comes to printing, HP has something for everyone, from the home user to large corporates. The LaserJet Pro MFP M225dw is aimed at small business buyers looking for a budget print/scan/copy solution. Despite a modest price tag of just £201 ex VAT ($305, AU$375), it turns out to be a very capable device, albeit with a couple of minor shortcomings that are inevitable when building to a price.
HP by name, HP quality by nature
The usual HP build quality applies here with a solid look and feel, despite extensive use of clip-together plastic mouldings. As such, the LaserJet Pro MFP M225dw certainly looks the part, housed in a smart all-black casing that follows normal MFP conventions, which, in this case, means a 600dpi monochrome laser engine in the base of the unit plus a 1200dpi flatbed scanner mounted above.
An automatic 35-sheet document feeder is also built-in, sitting on the top of the stack to help automate both scanning and copying. However, it’s worth noting that the scanner only has one scan head which makes double-sided scanning/copying a far from straightforward process that requires extra manual intervention.
