PRINTING. The HP LaserJet Pro M127fw prints using laser technology, which picks up powdered 'toner' on a roller and fuses it to the paper with heat. It prints black-and-white text with excellent quality, as we've come to expect from a laser printer. Text printing was very quick, 13.6 pages per minute, costing 5 cents per page. Black-and-white graphics printing is only fair, with some obvious defects, but OK for casual use.
SCANNING and COPYING. Scanning performance was very good, fine for general-purpose scanning. It can scan or copy an area up to 11.7 x 8.4 inches. Copying performance was very good, suitable for most purposes. There's an automatic document feeder to let you copy or scan a stack of pages in one operation.
CONTROLS and DISPLAY. The printer has a medium-size 3-inch display screen with a touchscreen.
CONNECTIVITY and NETWORKING. You can connect directly to a PC with a USB cable, or to your network router either wirelessly with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable. This model has built-in faxing, can store incoming faxes if the paper runs out, and can send faxes from an attached PC. You can also print items emailed from the Internet. The printer can access the Internet directly using downloadable 'apps', letting you print information from news and entertainment services.
