With fast print speeds, precision two-sided printing plus scan and copy, the HP LaserJet MFP M234dwe is perfect for small businesses printing black & white forms, reports and business documents. It includes the HP+ Smart Printing System that keeps itself up to date, secure, and ready to print from virtually anywhere at any time. As part of the connected HP+ system, this printer only works with Original HP Toner and requires an HP account and internet connection.
Q: Do I need wifi or can I connect to internet with cable
A: Thank you for your question! While it does have a USB port in back, this printer requires an active internet connection from either WiFi or Ethernet. If you use a USB cable, you will need to connect via Ethernet since the USB cable will disable the WiFi feature.
A: The HP+ subsccription is not required to use the printer. But it may not work with third party cartridges. I found an HP cartridge on eBay for half price.
Q: how do you scan on this machine?
A: You scan your docs/pics from under the top lid. YOU MUST INSTALL SMART HP first on your PC/phone. You can only scan one doc/pic at a time, in b/w or full 600 dpi color. Works great. You can also scan docs and save them as a .pdf to your device.
Q: Can this printer scan and save in color??
A: It sure can. It scan scan in color up to 600 dpi. I have the multi-function printer installed on a Microsoft Surface Pro. You can use the HP Smart APP or the Windows Fax and Scan app to scan and save files. I found the HP Smart app to save color and b&w files as a PDF. While Fax and Scan app was easier to save as a image file (jpg). Wish the HP Smart App had more options to customize scanning feature.
A: yes it works with win 11 go to https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-laserjet-mfp-m232e-m237e-printer-series/38099931/model/36120178 and I suggest to install the "Installation Software and Full/Basic Driver-Supports print and scan functionality only (1)" driver, instead of the "smart driver" to keep you sanity but either one is compatible.
A: There is no separate tray for single sheets. You'll need to pull the paper tray cover and place the sheet on top of the stack. Be sure to replace the cover as the printer won't work if it is not properly placed.
Q: is this bluetooth connection
A: Hello, that's a great question, the connectivity for this printer is: 1 Hi-Speed USB 2.0; 1 Fast Ethernet 10/100Base-TX; 1 Dual-band (2.4/5.0GHz) Wireless 802.11b/g/n with Bluetooth® low energy. Thank you for being an HP customer!
