Expert Verdict
The M402dne is a great option for those who are using a printer for the first time as this printer runs smoothly. In a way, the M402dne has the same footprint as HP LaserJet 1160 but is only half as tall as 1160. This printer is a mono printer, meaning it will only allow you to print with black HP LaserJet Pro M402dne toner cartridges. Also, the 402dne is a duplex printer, which is advantageous as there will be less wastage of paper and it will save you a lot of time as well. Not only can it be connected to iMac, but it also comes with features to set it up as a wifi network printer by connecting it to your router with an ethernet cable. This printer does not require much effort to set up and install the HP LaserJet Pro M402dne toner cartridges. The M402dne uses Apple's AirPrint system, which means you only need to connect the printer to the wall outlet, then plug it into your iMac with a USB cable, and turn on the printer. Once it is connected, you can print your first page. This printer works great with both single page printing as well as duplex printing.
Thanks to good quality HP LaserJet Pro M402dne toner cartridges, the quality of prints are great. Besides output quality, it is fast at producing the output as well. Not only this, but it's fast to wake up too. Print quality is great as you would expect from any laserjet printer but what really leaves an impression is the time taken to print the first page from sleep; just within 10 seconds. The HP LaserJet Pro M402dne toner cartridges are of high capacity and they run faster than ever. Also, it is light weighted, even one person alone can transport it easily. Though while printing, one thing you need to make sure that you do not overload the input tray with a lot of paper sheets. It may constantly jam. This becomes very inconvenient when you're running a business.
One more thing we liked about this printer is that it can be operated using compatible cartridges. These compatible HP LaserJet Pro M402dne toner cartridges are made by third parties and are reasonable compared to the original ones, so you’ll end up paying only less. Not only business users but home users should also really consider this printer if colour printing is not required as the cost per print will be far less than a cheap inkjet. As this printer is laserjet, there is no need to waste the cartridges to perform print head cleaning. Hence because of the low printing costs, this printer is cheaper than other laser printers in its category.
It looks sleek however one thing which bothers is its tray 1. Tray 1 is actually a single sheet paper feeder and not a full paper tray. If you place more than one sheet in it, it may not work expectedly. Tray 2 however works perfectly fine.
Overall, this printer is worth a buy as the HP LaserJet Pro M402dne toner cartridges are backed by JetIntelligence technology that offers more pages per cartridge. Not only is the maximum output tray capacity good but the maximum input tray capacity is also a hit. Even though it lacks the wireless networking option, the printer supports Ethernet and high-speed USB connectivity for providing you with better performance. Furthermore, the HP ePrint and Apple AirPrint make printing through mobile devices much easier. Compatible with both Windows and iOS operating systems, this printer is suitable for both office as well as home purposes.
