**A Comprehensive Review of the Color Laser Printer**

As a tech enthusiast, I was thrilled to receive a color laser printer from Els Ware as part of their sponsored video initiative. In this review, I will share my hands-on experience with this device, highlighting its features, pros, and cons.

**First Impressions**

Upon first glance, the printer's compact design and sleek appearance caught my attention. Measuring 21 inches in width, 12 inches in height, and 25 inches in depth, it is significantly smaller than my previous laser printer, the HP 8600 Pro. The printer's footprint is also impressive, considering its size. The front panel of the printer features a sliding tray that holds the toner cartridges, making it easy to access and replace them.

**Performance**

The printer's performance exceeded my expectations. It prints paper at an incredible speed, with speeds ranging from 20-40 pages per minute (ppm) for black text and 15-25 ppm for color text. The print quality is crisp and clear, with vibrant colors that are perfect for professional use. I was particularly impressed by the printer's ability to handle high-quality graphics and photos, making it an ideal choice for graphic designers and photographers.

**Scanning and Copying**

The printer's scanning and copying capabilities are also noteworthy. Scanning speeds range from 20-40 ppm in black and white and 15-25 ppm in color. The scanner's resolution is impressive, with a maximum of 2400 x 1200 dpi for both black and white and color scans. For copying, the printer can handle up to 99 copies per page, making it suitable for large-scale document reproduction.

**Connectivity**

The printer is Wi-Fi compatible, allowing users to connect to their network wirelessly. It also supports wired connections, providing a reliable and fast printing experience. Additionally, the printer features USB-A and USB-B ports for easy connectivity with devices.

**Toner Cartridges**

The toner cartridges are located behind the front panel and can be accessed by sliding out the tray. The cartridges are designed to provide long-lasting print quality, with estimated yields ranging from 1,500-2,000 pages per cartridge. Replacing the cartridges is a straightforward process, making it easy for users to maintain their printer.

**Loudness**

One of the drawbacks of the printer is its loud operation. As a laser printer, it produces a significant amount of noise, which can be disturbing, especially in quiet environments like homes or offices with multiple occupants. However, I found that the noise level decreased significantly when printing at night or using the printer's silent mode.

**Conclusion**

Overall, I was impressed by the color laser printer's performance, features, and design. Its compact size, high print quality, and fast scanning and copying capabilities make it an excellent choice for home offices, small businesses, and graphic designers. While its loud operation is a drawback, the printer's silent mode and connectivity options mitigate this issue. If you're in the market for a reliable and efficient color laser printer, I highly recommend considering this device.

**Additional Notes**

I would like to mention that the printer received me as part of a sponsored video initiative from Els Ware, which may have influenced my experience with the device. However, my review is based on hands-on testing and observation, ensuring an unbiased evaluation of the printer's features and performance.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhow's it going everyone my name is Adam rles box and welcome to my review of the HP mfp m277dw color LaserJet Pro printer that is the biggest mouthful of a name actually let me make sure I got that right yeah we're good no this is a color laser printer that's designed for small businesses that HP actually sent me for a sponsored video that I'm working on for them they're going to upload it somewhere else and so if they if I have that I'll put that link in the description below if you're interested in seeing it and if not I'll just upload it as unlisted or something but I still wanted to give an actual like formal review on the channel as well so here are my thoughts with the after a week with this color laser jet printer and I'm coming from the HP 8600 Pro which is an inkjet printer but it's designed for offices and business needs and things like that that I picked up as a floor model when I worked at Staples and it was a Workhorse for me and yet this has been so much more of a Workhorse that I'm actually pretty impressed Adam maro's box here with the HP color LaserJet Pro mfp m277 DW this is a color laser printer and it is a Workhorse as someone who operates a small business from home I've gone through quite a few all-in-one printers scanners copiers Etc they all just burn out on me because I'm trying to use them way too much or if they don't burn out on me they're just too slow to really keep up with my workflow and that tends to be what the problem is this printer however the m277dw from HP is a boss not only is it a color laser printer which is awesome enough already but it's an all-in-one and it's a true all-in-one it prints obviously it prints two-sided it prints 19 pages per minute in black or color it can scan to your computer it can scan to a flash drive it can scan to a smartphone it can scan to the cloud it can scan to an email it can fax it can copy it can print from the cloud it can print from the web it can print from your usb drive or your smartphone or your tablet every device I had that I threw ated it printed from it flawlessly and it prints really really fast but Fast Printing is kind of to be expected with a laser printer what's the true impressive part is is how quickly it scans it can scan all the way up to 600 DPI I tend to scan around the 200 to 300 range for my receipts and my documents and for making copies and things like that and it scans super fast and much quieter than previous scanners I've used not only does it have the standard flatbed scanning platform but it also has a 150 sheet input tray for fast feeding documents and it actually handles this very very well even if there's some slight wrinkles or tears to your paper it still shoots them shoots them through and scans them just like really really fast now as I mentioned before this does print 19 pages per minute in both black and color and this is about what I experienced it prints very very fast and it's really neat to just have this really thick output tray here because I can just tell it to print a bunch of stuff cuz I'm always printing like video scripts or contracts I got to sign or papers I got to edit and often I just print them up and Quee them up and have them print and frankly before I mainly did that just because I needed to wait on them to actually print because it took so long to print but with this one I can just quey them up and before I even think about it there's a giant stack of papers here ready for me to go and can't argue with that it also does two-sided Printing and it does this in a very nice way to me any printer that doesn't require you to manually flip the paper and feed it back through to print two-sided printing is probably pretty good but this one only takes like a second longer per page to actually do that because it just it sends your print out and it does that really really fast already and then pulls it back in and prints it back out on the other side and it's basically as if it were printing two pages instead of taking forever to Reign it and feeding it back through and flipping it over and all that jazz it just out in out and it's done and that's really easy to set up too and pretty much all the programs or browsers I was printing from you literally just have a checkbox for the printer that says print two-sided and that's all you need to do which makes it a lot easier I've set up my email account so I can automatically just scan to emails or I can scan to the cloud or I can scan to my flash drive or or even my smartphone and it works really nice it's actually really convenient if I'm doing a whole lot on my network and my computers and I don't want to pull up the app on my computer I can actually put my flash drive in there and just tell it to scan my flash drive and never have to do anything on the computer I just do everything on the 3-in touchcreen and it works really nice and the touchcreen is really nice as well the touchcreen is really responsive it has a bunch of different apps for various things like they even have coloring page apps where you can download and print coloring pages and like news reports and you can scan facts and copy obviously and it's really responsive it's fairly Snappy for a printer setup process took at most 5 minutes to do which was pretty nice normally they take a little bit longer frankly just for running the software and even older HP printers I've had the software install time mainly just takes a long time for the software itself to install and the software for this one just went really really quick and we were ready to go to print and scan and copy and this makes things for operating my business and stuff much much easier the printer itself has a standard 250 sheet input tray for normal paper and then you have another slot above it for manually feeding separate paper in it has NFC capability to automatically sync to your smartphone or whatever device just by tapping it on there has a 3-in touchcreen for doing most of the controls below that it has a USB port for hooking up a flash drive for both Printing and scanning it can print photos Microsoft Word documents PowerPoints it can print all of that from the USB drive which is pretty neat has 150 sheet input tray for the scanning it has a normal flatbed scanner along the back you have a phone line in phone line out for facts you have a ethernet in and it's actually a gigabit Ethernet in which is really nice for your networking and then you have the power connection as well as USB a Tob connection for your standard USB connection the footprint for this printer is also fairly small compared to my previous printer Workhorse which was the HP 8600 Pro it's actually a bit smaller it's a bit taller but lengthwise widthwise and just general footprint it's actually quite a bit smaller and that's pretty impressive especially for a laser printer the toner cartridges are located behind the big front panel and they're easy to access it's got a sliding tray that has them all on there and it anybody could do it a kid could take it out often with printers it's so problematic to finle the toner cartridges out and stuff you literally pull the panel off and Slide the tray out and you have all of the toner cartridges and the printer is also Wi-Fi compatible I have mine hooked up to a wired Network because most of my stuff is wired but it does have up to wired in connection so it's going to be really really fast for sending your documents over now there are some negatives that I need to touch on compared to my 8600 just for my unique environment given that I have a home office at home and my parents' bedroom is literally three steps right over there behind me is that it's very very loud this is because it's a laser printer Laser Printers are loud again it's kind of meant for an office but I have a home office so that but printing at night is kind of problematic which I don't often have to do but if I do I got to make sure I'm I'm shutting my door and stuff because it gets quite loud and that's going to piss off a lot of people trying to sleep if you have a printer going but it's not as loud as some printers I've seen and frankly some inkjet printers can be quite loud as well scanning is actually very quiet compared to my HP 8600 Pro which is kind of confusing it's much taller than my 8600 Pro which is fine cuz it's a lot shorter in terms of like length but it's taller in terms of height which means opening up here here on my shelf I don't have enough room to really prop it all the way open which frankly I never really did on any other printer I've used anyway but it's still a problem for me is that it's pretty tall also due to it not being as long as the other printer it actually has a shorter scanning bed than my previous printer now granted everything I scan is pretty much 8 1/2 by 11 or shorter so that's fine for me but something to note nonetheless is I think the max that goes is legal size but overall despite it being sent to me as a sponsored video to do Els Ware for them I actually really enjoy the printer and I'm so glad I get to use it because Laser Printers shot print really fast and high quality and I have that just for the hell of it and that's pretty cool funny story it actually I had been contacted because this is running through a separate platform I'd been contacted by the person representing the platform asking if I was interested in working with them on this and I said sure and I never really heard back on it after we connected on it and I was afraid something wasn't working out with it or I just they can I don't know something and happened with it but when we got back from the game conon 2015 it was sitting in my living room floor my when cuz my mom picked us up from the airport and was driving us home she mentioned that FedEx had left to slip on the door and that there was a giant color laser printer you know delivered and I was just kind of like did you order a color laser printer she said no it has your name on it I was just kind of like what and I got home and here it was and that's for
