The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw is an all-in-one colour laser printer. It is compatible with the high-yield HP 206A and 206X toner cartridges. It can print straight from a USB flash drive, supports Mopria Print Service and Apple AirPrint, and connects by Ethernet, USB, or Wi-Fi. It features an automatic document feeder scanner and a color display that is touch-sensitive.
A few variations of this printer exist, such as the HP LaserJet Pro M283fdn and the HP LaserJet Pro M282nw, which have somewhat different characteristics.
Domestic use
If your family will simply be printing documents, the HP M283fdw is a decent choice. High-quality documents in black and colour can be produced by this printer, but like with most laser printers, photos printed from it appear muted and lack definition.
Despite the high cost of its toner cartridges, you won’t have to worry about excessive maintenance expenses because they last a long time. The scanner’s automated feeder allows it to handle documents fast, but it struggles to capture finer details, making it unsuitable for digitizing graphics and images.
Office use
For home offices and small workspaces, the HP M283fdw is a fantastic option. It prints swiftly, creates exceptionally sharp papers, and requires little maintenance because the toner cartridges last a long time. Its ADF-equipped scanner can process multi-page documents quickly, and it offers a variety of connectivity choices, including Ethernet.
For students
For students, the HP M283fdw is an excellent device. It prints papers with crisp formatting and low maintenance costs due to the long life of its toner cartridges. Its numerous connectivity choices make it simple to use on a variety of devices, and the lid hinges on its scanner may be extended to fit bulky objects like textbooks. It takes a little while for it to warm up from standby, but once it does, it runs quite quickly — 22 pages per minute.
Black and white printing
When it comes to printing papers in black and white, the HP M283fdw excels. It generates documents of excellent quality and has cheap maintenance costs because its toner cartridges print a lot. It takes a little while to warm up, but once it does, it prints really quickly. Because of the scanner’s automated feeder, processing multi-page documents may be done fast.
Photo printing
The HP M283fdw is not suitable for photo printing. Because the printer only has a limited colour gamut and prints at a low resolution, printed images have a poor quality. Its printing pattern is also highly noticeable, which further reduces the detail. Positively, it doesn’t require much maintenance because its toner cartridges last a long time and it can print on glossy paper.
