Hewlett-Packard India Tuesday introduced the HP Hotspot LaserJet Pro
M1218nfs MFP, a 7-in-1 all-in-one printer with in-built wireless
Internet hotspot.
Besides print, copy, scan and fax capabilities, the
printer comes the latest mobile printing technologies including HP
wireless direct, HP ePrint and Apple's AirPrint. A unique feature of the
all-in-one is an inbuilt wireless hotspot that allows seamless, full
Internet connectivity for up to eight users. In other words, the HP
M1218nfs can replace your Wi-Fi router, as long as the total number of
devices (computers/ smartphones/ tablets) that need to be connected does
not exceed eight (most routers have a much higher limit).
Thanks
to AirPrint, iOS users can print to the HP Hotspot LaserJet Pro M1218nfs
MFP straight from their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Speaking on
the launch of the HP Hotspot LaserJet Pro M1218nfs MFP, Nitin
Hiranandani, Director-Printing, PPS, HP India, said, "The HP Hotspot is a
new all-in-one+1 printer that completely redefines the role a
multifunction printer can play in a SOHO or small business environment.
We are confident that users will deeply appreciate the ability to print,
scan, copy, fax and access Internet wirelessly, all through a single
device that is incredibly easy to set up and use."
The HP Hotspot
LaserJet Pro M1218nfs MFP comes with a host of connectivity options
including one Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port, one 10/100Base-T Ethernet network
port, RJ-11 Telephone port, Wireless 802.11b/g/n (with hotspot), HP
wireless direct, HP ePrint and Apple AirPrint. Unfortunately, it does
not feature a memory card reader like some of its counterparts.
The
printer supports paper sizes up to A$ and is capable of printing up to
18 pages per minute, with the first page out in 8.5 seconds. Like most
other all-in-ones, this unit features a flat-bed as well as Automatic
Document Feeder (ADF) scanner.
"At HP, we believe in constantly
reinventing the printer and today's launch of HP Hotspot marks an
important milestone in our innovation legacy," Mr. Hiranandani added.
The HP Hotspot LaserJet Pro M1218nfs MFP is available across the country starting Tuesday for Rs. 18,306.
