 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the HP M1217NFW MFP. It's okay, the MFP isn't actually part of that ridiculously complicated part number. That stands for Multi-function Printer. So this is a pretty basic multi-function printer, except for one key fact. Not only is it a network multi-function printer, it supports e-print, which is cool because you can use not only a computer, whether it's a PC or a Mac, you can also use an Android smartphone or an iOS device, or even just from anywhere you send an email of the thing you want to print. And as long as you've configured the e-print feature of this printer, then it'll just print it for you, which is pretty cool. So let's have a look at, okay, we don't need to see the contents because we're going to open it. Here's the minimum system requirements, which are basically like, don't have a crap computer from the 80s. Start printing right away with effortless setup, no CD installation required using HP SmartInstall. Print from virtually anywhere in the office with wireless connectivity. HP's, oh, it's wireless too, neat. HP's most complete, affordable wireless MFP features an automatic document feeder with 35-page capacity. Send and receive documents using the 33.6 kilobit per second fax. Yeah. All right, so that's pretty much it. So it's like wireless and like installs as fast as five minutes. And we're going to put that to the test because we're going to be using this printer for an upcoming NCIX Tech Tips showcasing the e-print feature and basically finding out if it's as like bee's knees as HP seems to think that it is. So included is a USB cable, a phone cable, wire. It's only two wires, so is it like a wire or a cable? It's a wires. And contract return checklist. Okay. What else we got in here? Laser jet. Printer. Well, there's more stuff in there. Don't take it away, Slick. All right, more documentation, power cable. Ah, trade receptacle doodad. And, hmm. Are those like EMI shield things? That's an EMI shield thing for the cord. Okay. Disks, including Redirus Pro for HP. Oh, I dropped my lens cap for the camera. Put that away. All right. So here's the printer itself. It's taped so that it doesn't totally fall apart in shipping, which is good, because if it totally fell apart in shipping, then by the time it reached you, it would have totally fallen apart. Okay. Taking off some tape. This is part of the unboxing process. Unpacking taping. And it looks pretty much like a multifunction printer, if I do say so. So there's a...thing. Give me a sec. Slick and I have spent a fair amount of time determining the ins and outs of this multifunction printer. For the most part, paper goes in and comes out, and ink goes in and comes out. So that is the conclusion we came to at the end of it. So up here is the feeder tray style paper input for the scanning, copying, faxing functionality. Down here is the flatbed style, so it goes in here and comes out here, and it goes in here and then also comes out here, because for a flatbed, there actually is no feeder system for the paper to come out when it's done. Okay. You can also lift this up completely and access where the paper comes out for printing, or for copying, but not for scanning, because with scanning paper doesn't come out at all. And you can install this piece right here, which then extends and then extends again in order to keep the paper from falling off, because you want it to come out, but not off. Okay. We can also access nothing, and the ink cartridge. So this is a mono printer, so there's only black and no color. Monochromatic world. Put that down. All the functionality of the functionalitiness is done through here. So there's your screen, there's your Wi-Fi button, there's for dialing numbers to people who you want to send things to. No, ideally not black pages. Come on, grow up. Okay, also all your navigation here. You can fold that in one step, two step, red step, blue step, and then down here, you can load paper, which again has that transformer unravellingness that happens. So it's a 35 page loader, something about no paper clips or staples, because they're bad, and really it comes down to e-print, so we're not going to be talking about that right now, because that's for our NCIX Tech Tips episode. Let's put that back on the back. In I.O. we've got your power in, we've got your Kensington lock, we've got your modem plug, as well as phone line and other not quite phone line, but more different phone line. I'm guessing this is plugged for a reason. Oh, it's probably a passthrough for the phone. But I mean, who uses a phone anymore? I mean, I haven't seen a phone with a cable coming out of it in like months. USB, as well as ethernet, so you don't have to use wireless, but you can.
