Body

In appearance, HP LaserJet MFP M140w is compact. Unlike those big-size multi-function printers, this HP printer has a small body but enough functions to finish printing, scanning, and copying. It’s 14.2 x 10.4 x 7.8 in WDH, and the maximum dimension is 14.2 x 16.8 x 13.7. So it is basically the size of a handle suitcase. The total weight of this small printer is 11.86 lb. That is nearly 5.4 kg. Very easy to move and does not occupy too much space. Indeed a compact and lightweight printer model. Since it is very light and small, you can buy it as a convenient office supply. This M140w printer has a 150-sheet input tray and a 100-sheet output bin to accomplish print scan and copy tasks. There is also a special extra tray on the output bin. It is mainly designed to hold the paper when it comes out from the output tray. In this case, paper won’t drop on the ground and it is quite convenient to take it out.

Printer Functions

Print 

Theoretically, this printer can print up to 21 ppm(page per minute). However, the exact print speeds may differ because of software applications, system configuration, drivers, and document types. Thus the actual print speeds are going to be various. And it is mainly compatible with black laserjet toner cartridges. Consequently, the printed pages are all black and white texts or images. When this machine is ready to print, it will produce the first black page as fast as 8.3 seconds. The resolution technology is HP FastRes 600, and the HP LaserJet MFP M140w printer can bring 600 x 600 dpi resolution. Moreover, we recommend users to print 100 to 1,000 pages a month by using this HP printer. Printing according to recommended page volume, you can protect the printer with regular printing. Otherwise, the over amount of printed pages may decrease the service life of your printer. In addition, the 140w printer includes the HP smart printing system. This tech supports you with efficient working and fast printing. But it requires an HP account and internet connection to make this printer function well. Therefore, you need to create a new HP account to continue printing on HP printers.

This machine can not print double-sided automatically, thus you need to manually turn over the paper. Since this printer is monochrome, it is not capable of color printing. To customers who need to print color images, this machine is not a good choice. On the contrary, if you often print black and white documents, then you can add this printer to your cart.

Scan

The scan flatbed size is 8.5 x 11.7 in and the scan resolution is up to 600 dpi in both hardware and optical. It supports both JPG, RAW (BMP), PNG, TIFF, and PDF file formats. Thus, customers can scan many kinds of documents and files and transfer them to different formats. Scanning via HP LaserJet Software Scan or TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant software is also a good way. This model accepts single or double scans in one pass. In addition, HP M140w can scan files directly to PDF and email them with preloaded business apps.

Like printing, auto-duplex scanning is also not available for this black-and-white printer. If you’re going to do a lot of duplex scanning in a short amount of time, this printer isn’t very good for the task. Because it requires users to flip the paper manually. In conclusion, the HP M140w printer is not suitable for high-volume double-sided printing at one time.

Copy

It is simple to copy both sides of ID cards onto one side of the paper. But the copy resolution is only 600 x 400 dpi in text and graphics. The copy speed is the same as print, which is up to 21 cpm. The maximum number of copies is up to 99 copies. Users can resize the copier from 25 to 400%. In this way, you can choose an M140w printer to finish your copying job. Furthermore, this black and white laser printer is a high-speed copier for busy work. Hence, it can help people accomplish copy tasks with reliable quality.

Security

Will this printer sell my personal information if I use it to copy or print? Does it store the private messages when I print? Some people may have these doubts and are afraid the printer will steal their information. Don’t worry, this M140w printer includes the HP smart printing system. Using it to print scan and copy will not enclose your privacy. And HP’s officials will strictly protect customers’ privacy. By setting the personal account, it is safe to use the printer by one person.

HP Instant Ink Program

HP Instant Ink program is ready for this HP M140w laser printer. HP Instant Ink is a special service that HP developed to encourage customers to buy more HP ink and toner cartridges. Customers need to subscribe to the HP instant ink plan with some money. While you run up with your ink, HP will send an HP instant ink to the customer. According to the months of instant ink you purchased, the pricing may vary. Nevertheless, this instant ink service can not be applied all over the world, it only works in some countries. On the other way, if you do not need the instant ink, cancel it as soon as possible.

Consumables

HP LaserJet MFP M140w is a black & white printer, so it only uses HP black laserjet 141A and HP 141X toner cartridge. However, the high price of original ink and toner cartridges will cost you a lot on printing. With the same performance and quality, why not pick compatible cartridges? And you can rest assured that buying an HP LaserJet MFP M140w toner at YB Toner does not void your warranty. In fact, using a high-quality laser toner can help to maintain the shelf life of laser printers.

On the other hand, store pricing may vary from manufacturers or sellers. The price of the original toner is always higher than compatible toners. And among compatible brands, the prices of ink toner are also different. However, at YB Toner, you can buy high-quality toner replacements at a satisfactory price. For example, the HP 58X and HP 414X toner set produce the same page yield as the genuine. Luckily, you only need to pay almost half less money. More importantly, we provide 30-day free return and exchange after-sale services for customers.
