HP Deskjet 2130 MFP: reviews and features.

Low cost and excellent functionality combines HP Deskjet 2130 MFP. Feedback about this universal multiplying, printing and scanning device, its technical specifications will be further considered in detail.

Niche MFIs

Very democratic cost, very modest specifications of this device essentially leave no choice and initially refer it to the entry-level solutions. But, if necessary, it is possible to supplement this MFI with a system of NPCs and with a minimum capital investment to get a whole printing factory.

Of course, this approach requires certain knowledge and skills, but experience shows that everyone can cope with such an operation. In other respects, it can be noted that this universal device, which combines a copying machine, a printer and a scanner, is perfect for home use.

Another successful area of its application are small entry-level offices that have a relatively average workflow and the number of personal computers in this case is limited to 20-25 system units.

Contents of delivery

A fairly good set of supplies in the HP Deskjet 2130 MFP . Reviews in this case emphasize that it is enough to start the application of this multifunction device "out of the box." This list includes the following:

• Device.

• Interface cord for switching to PC.

• A set of 2 cartridges. One of them provides printing in monochromatic mode, and the second - in color.

• Power cable.

• Warranty card.

• Disk with applied software.

• A guide for using this universal device.

This list is sufficient and includes everything you need to start using this MFP right after purchase. The only thing that can be added in this case is the NPC system. But it will have to be purchased additionally for a fee. At the same time, it should be set up on the shoulders of the MFP owner.

Technological features

This MFP uses inkjet technology to produce prints. Although it is equipped with only 2 cartridges, but to create a printed document in color, 3 additional colors are used at once : blue, magenta and yellow.

One of the cartridges is mainly used only in the case of information output in monochromatic (black and white) mode. The second one consists of 3 tanks, and it is already used more intensively in the mode of printing color images. Several modifications of cartridges can be used in the HP Deskjet 2130 MFP. Feedback about the black cartridge indicates that HP123 or HP123XL can be used . первом случае возможный объем печати ограничен 100-120 листами, а во втором — 330-480. In the first case, the possible volume of printing is limited to 100-120 sheets, and in the second - 330-480. In the initial configuration is HP123, but in the future it is strongly recommended to replace it with a more capacious HP123XL.

Communication list

A very modest communication list in this MFP. On the one hand, this approach can significantly reduce its cost. But on the other hand, because of this, its functionality begins to suffer. As a result, in this case there can be no question of a wireless method of obtaining data "Wai-Fi" or an integrated card reader.

Therefore, in this universal multiplying, printing and scanning apparatus there is only one wire interface - USB. Its version is 2.0, but if necessary, you can also use less speedy revision ports 1.0 or 1.1 or newer versions of this interface 3.0 or 3.1 for switching. In the first case, the speed of the printing system does not significantly decrease, and in the second case, the capabilities of the wired port will not be used to the maximum.

Resolution

To the level of a full-fledged photo printer, this MFP certainly does not hold out. The key limitation in this situation is the maximum resolution of output documents, which is limited to only 1200x1200. Of course, for undemanding owners of this multifunctional device this will be quite enough. But that's not enough for specialists with high demands. Another serious point in this case is the lack of support for borderless printing.

In scanner mode, this MFP can give out 1200 dpi. Also, in the color scan mode, the bit depth of the resulting image is limited to 24 bits. Well, in the multiplier mode, the resolution in general will be equal to a very modest 600x300. In the latter case, the quality of the copies of documents received will indeed be very modest.

Available paper sizes

Printers on the A4 paper size are aimed at HP Deskjet 2130 printers and MFPs . The responses of the owners indicate a rather high speed of the document output in this case. Also in the list of supported formats are A5, B5 and Letter.

To this you can add and various photos. Do not forget the developers and the custom size. That is, the drivers of this MFP can set any size of a sheet of paper that does not exceed A4.

Speed of output of documents

The hero of this review boasts a high enough speed of printing. And this is true both for the monochrome regime and for the color one. In the first case, in draft mode, you can get 20 prints per minute. If you need an improved quality of the received document, then in the final mode you can count only 7.5 pages per minute.

In color mode, the speed of this MFP is reduced. With increased output speed and poor print quality, you can get 16 pages per minute on it. If you switch to high quality mode, then the speed will drop to 5.5 pages in the same minute.

Separately in this respect, the photographs look. The output of one such image with a size of 10 cm X15 cm will take about 1 minute. The density of the paper used on this printer should be in the range of 60 g / m ² (plain paper) to 300 g / m ² (HP photo paper). Certainly, in this range does not fall newsprint, the density of which at best is only 20-30 g / m ² . Therefore, it is unacceptable to print on such a material in this case because the sheet feeding system may fail and the nozzles for ink supply may be clogged.

Software Features

и Linux. Certain remarks most users have to the software part of the HP Deskjet 2130 MFP. The reviews highlight the lack of support for the UNIX and Linux operating systems . Of course, these software products are not widely distributed, but in some cases this can lead to very, very serious problems. Otherwise, the list of system software is limited to "Windows" (revisions 7, 8, 8.1 and even 10) and MacOS 10.9-10.10.

Power consumption. Temperature limits

The HP Deskjet 2130 Multifunction Printer can boast a high degree of energy efficiency. Customers' reviews, first of all, indicate that this device consumes only 10 W in operating mode. In standby mode, this value is reduced to 1.9 W. If this MFD is put into sleep mode, the consumption of electric energy will be further reduced and will be only 0.9 W.

Separately it is necessary in this case to note that even in the off state, but with a connection, this multifunctional device consumes 0.1 W. Of course, engineers could try and make sure that in this case, however, the consumption was equal to 0.

The minimum temperature at which this printer is still functioning stably is limited to 5 ° C. Alas, at lower indices, the inkjet printing system already ceases to work stably. The maximum temperature is set by the manufacturer at 65 ^o C. If it is exceeded, the electronics in this device ceases to work stably.

Reviews

HP Deskjet 2130 MFP belongs to the entry-level solutions. Reviews, description and technical specifications of it prove it. The cost of this device is really minimal, and this is its main plus, which is most often found in reviews.

Another positive aspect is the compact size. To this also need to add high speed. Well, in order to make the picture the most complete, it is also necessary to take into account also the ergonomics of the device, which is really well worked out by HP engineers and does not cause any complaints at all.

The disadvantages in this case can only be attributed to the lack of a system of NPCs. But this is a minus not of this particular model of the MFP, but of any other multiplying or printing device of this manufacturer. A peculiar solution to this problem is that it is possible to deliver such a system and, as a result, significantly reduce the cost of consumables. Again, you will have to buy it separately and configure it yourself.

Price

An important advantage against the background of competitors is the price of the HP Deskjet 2130 MFP. Reviews, characteristics of its specifications against the backdrop of the cost go to the back burner.

At the moment, from a warehouse stock such a universal device can be purchased for 2500 rubles. If you add another 1000 rubles to purchase CISS, you get a full-fledged printing factory at a very, very modest price.

Results

The HP Deskjet 2130 multifunction printer is an excellent printer, copier and scanner. In most cases this is confirmed by the reviews. In essence, this model has no shortcomings. And that one minus, which is, can be relatively easily eliminated. Of course, additional material investments are needed.
