Toner cartridges are not needed for the monochrome laser printer HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1202w. Rather, it makes use of a toner container that empties into a printer tank, much like the way supertank inkjet printer tanks are refilled. The printer boasts one of the greatest page yields of all the printers we’ve tested because the tank retains a lot more toner than toner cartridges do. This allows the printer to print a lot more pages. You can save even more money with the bottle because it is far less expensive than toner cartridges. Unfortunately, because it must halt during lengthy prints to cool down, its printing speed via Wi-Fi is sluggish. Moreover, you must manually turn the pages over because it cannot print two sides.
For domestic use
Due to its lack of colour printing, the HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1202w is not a good choice for home use. It is not intended for printing enjoyable pictures for crafts or framing. It’s still something to think about if you simply need to print black and white material because it can print hundreds of pages before you have to worry about toner refills. Low operating costs are further aided by the reasonably priced toner bottle. If necessary, a flatbed scanner is also available.
For office use
If you need to print in colour in a tiny or home office, the HP 1202w is not up to par. Moreover, you must manually re-insert the sheets in order to print the second side because it is unable to print double-sided documents automatically. Additionally, there is no automated document feeder, which can be problematic if you need to scan multiple sheets at once. Even if your company doesn’t require either of them, you should still give it some thought. It produces a very large volume of pages before the toner tank needs to be replaced, saving you months of purchasing new toner bottles.
For students
For students, the HP MFP 1202w is adequate. It prints a lot more pages than a standard laser printer since it includes a toner-refilled tank instead of cartridges. Additionally, unlike with inkjet printers, you don’t have to be concerned about clogged printheads. A mobile app, numerous wireless connection choices, and a flatbed scanner are included. You must ensure that you only require black for your assignments and research papers because, of course, it cannot print in color. Sadly, it prints slowly over Wi-Fi; but, if you connect it to a USB connection, it prints much more quickly. Furthermore, the printer itself costs $400 USD, so depending on your budget, you might select a less expensive one.
Black and white printing
HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1202w is a reliable printer for both black and white documents. It offers one of the highest black page yields we’ve tested and prints an amazing number of pages before the toner tank runs out. Since this supertank employs toner, you don’t need to worry about clogged printheads the way you do with supertank inkjet models. Unfortunately, it is slow to print using Wi-Fi and cannot automatically duplex print.
Photo printing
Although it isn’t meant for photo printing, the HP MFP 1202w prints photos quite poorly. The monochrome laser printer is the most suitable for printing documents in black and white.
