For a laser, the MFP's average text quality is good, and it should be fine for business uses other than those requiring very small fonts. Output Quality, Running Costs Output quality for the M476dw is very good. The Dell C2665dnf tested even faster, at 6.4ppm in its default duplex (two-sided printing) mode, for which it's rated at 18 pages per minute, and 6.6ppm in simplex (one-sided printing) mode. That's slower than the 5.9ppm turned in by the Editors' Choice OKI MC362w, rated at 25ppm for monochrome printing and 23 for color. Printing Speed On our business applications test suite (using QualityLogic's hardware and software for timing), I timed the M476dw, rated at 21 pages per minute (ppm) for both monochrome and color printing, at 5.1ppm. The M476dw has broad wireless capabilities compared with the competition: The Dell C2665dnf uses NFC, but Wi-Fi is a $99 option and it lacks Wi-Fi Direct, while the OKI MC362w has Wi-Fi, but lacks NFC and Wi-Fi Direct. It's also compatible with HP ePrint and Apple AirPrint. The M476dw can connect via USB or Ethernet (including Gigabit Ethernet), plus Wi-Fi, NFC, and HP Wireless Direct (HP's proprietary equivalent of Wi-Fi Direct, which is a standard used by many printer manufacturers that allows for a direct wireless connection between the printer and a mobile device without going through a network). Its paper capacity is a bit on the low side compared with the OKI MC362w ($879.99 at Amazon) (300 sheets standard, with a 530-sheet optional tray) and the Dell Color Multifunction Printer C2665dnf (400 sheets standard, with a 550-sheet optional tray). An automatic duplexer lets you print on both sides of a sheet of paper. An optional 250-sheet tray is available, for a maximum capacity of 550 sheets. The M476dw has a 300-sheet standard paper capacity, split between a 250-sheet tray and a 50-sheet multipurpose feeder. Its scanner, equipped with a 50-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF), can scan both sides of a document simultaneously. And it offers password-protected printing and a number of other security features.ĭesign and Features With a 3.5-inch color touch screen, the MFP measures 19.7 by 16.5 by 19.1 inches (HWD), and weighs 73.3 pounds. It can scan to email, a network folder, or a USB thumb drive, and print from a USB key. It offers good output quality and an abundance of workflow features. The M476dw ( at Amazon) can print, scan, copy, and fax. The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M476dw ($679.99) is a good fit for an office looking for a color laser multifunction printer (MFP) that will easily let employees print from mobile devices and scan to multiple destinations.
