Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the
HPM1217 NFW MFP. It's okay. The MFP isn't actually
part of that ridiculously complicated part number. That stands for
multi-function printer. So, this is a pretty basic multi-function printer
except for one key fact. Not only is it
a network multi-function printer, it supports e-rint, which is cool because
you can use not only a computer, whether it's a PC or a Mac, you can also use an
Android smartphone or an iOS device or
even just from anywhere you send an
email of the thing you want to print. And as long as you've configurated the
e-print feature of this printer, then it'll just print it for you, which is
pretty cool. So, let's have a look at Okay, we don't need to see the contents
cuz we're going to open it. Here's the minimum minimum system requirements, which are basically like don't have a
crap computer from the 80s. Um, start printing right away with
effortless setup. No CD installation required using HP Smart Install. Print
from virtually anywhere in the office with wireless connectivity. HP Oh, it's
wireless, too. Oh, neat. Okay. HP's most complete, affordable wireless MFP.
Features an automatic document feeder with 35 page capacity. Send and receive
documents using the 33.6 6 kilobit per second
facts. Yeah. All right. So, that's pretty much
it. So, it's like wireless and like installs as fast as 5 minutes. And we're
going to put that to the test because we're going to be using this printer for an upcoming NCX tech tips showcasing the
e-print feature and basically finding
out if it's as like bees knees as HP
seems to think that it is. So, included is a USB cable.
Oh, a phone cable. Wire. It's only two
wires. So, is it like a wire or a cable? It's a
wires and uh contract return
checklist. Okay. What else we got in
here? Laser
jet printer. Okay. Oh, there's more stuff in there.
Don't take it away, Slick. All right. More documentation. Power
cable. Ah, trade receptacle
doodad. And
uh are those like EMI shield things? It's an EMI shield thing for the cord.
Okay. discs, including Rediris Pro for
HP. Oh, I dropped my lens cap for the
camera. Put that away. All right, so here's the printer
itself. It's taped so that it doesn't totally fall apart in shipping, which is
good because if it totally fell apart in shipping, then by the time it reached
you, it would have totally fallen apart.
Okay, taking off some tape. This is part of the unboxing
process. Unpacking
taping. And it looks pretty much like a
multi-function printer if I do uh if I do say so. So, there's
a thing. Give me a sec. Slick and I have spent a fair
amount of time determining the ins and outs of this multi-function printer. For
the most part, paper goes in and comes out and ink goes in and comes out. So
that is the conclusion that we came to at the end of it. So up here is the
feeder tray style paper input for the uh scanning,
copying, faxing functionality. Down here is the flatbed style. So it goes in here
and comes out here and it goes in here and then also comes out here because for
a flatbed there actually is no feeder system for the paper to come out when
it's done. Okay. You can also lift this up completely and access where the paper
comes out for printing or for
copying but not for scanning because with scanning paper doesn't come out at
all. And you can install this piece right here which then extends and then
extends again in order to keep the paper from falling off because you want it to
come out but not off. Okay. We can also
access nothing and the ink cartridge.
So, this is a mono printer. So, there's only black and no
color. Monochromatic
world. Put that down. All the functionality of the functionaliness is
done through here. So, there's your screen, there's your Wi-Fi button,
there's for dialing numbers to people who you want to send things to. Ideally,
not black pages. Come on, grow
up. Okay. Also, your navigation here.
Can fold that in. One step, two step,
red step, blue step. And then down here,
you can load paper, which again has
that, you know, transformer like unravelingness
that happens. Um, so it's a 35 page loader.
Something about no paper clips or staples cuz they're bad. And really it
comes down to errint. So we're not going to be talking about that right now
because that's for our NCIX tech tips episode. Let's put that back. On the
back IO, we've got your power in. We've
got your Kensington lock. We've got your modem plug as well as phone line and
other like not quite phone line but more different phone line. I'm guessing this
is plugged for a reason. Oh, it's probably a pass through for the phone.
But I mean, who uses a phone anymore? I mean, I haven't seen a phone with a
cable coming out of it in like months. USB as well as Ethernet, so you
don't have to use wireless, but you can. Thank you for checking out my unboxing
and first look at the Laser Pro M127 NFW, which is not the same as an
SFW.
