Overview
Scanning a stack through the feeder, copying or faxing, then printing in color all run from one compact HP laser unit. The HP Smart app sets it up, scans from a phone and prints from cloud services over dual band Wi-Fi.
Color laser output with every office function suits a small team that prints daily. The starter toners are small, so plan on full cartridges early.
Who it's for
Small businesses and home offices printing color documents get speed and reliable networking. Occasional home printers may find the weight and toner changes more than they need.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
Laser toner fuses in one pass, so pages come out dry and fast, with HP rating its first page out as fastest in class. Four toners wear at different rates depending on how much color each page uses.
