has multiple features, such as auto document feeder, fax,
scanner,
copier, auto-duplex and boasts of three paper trays, often a
necessity in an MFD which caters more than one service. It is
very
attractively priced at Rs 25,000 and is a perfect device for
SMEs
with tight budget. It comes with a 250 sheet tray at the
bottom and a
35 sheet automatic document feeder at the top. The interface
stretches from one end to another and includes a small
monochrome
display and a slew of keys for fax, numbers, copy, settings,
command
etc all very expansively placed. It features USB 2.0 and
Ethernet for
connectivity along with HP's flagship ePrint feature, which
works
really well and is unique to this device, in relation to other
MFDs.

The print quality stands out with clear
texts in all font sizes, and offers print resolution of up
to
600x600dpi. The scan is available in 1200x1200 dpi and takes
21
seconds to scan a file. First copy takes 10 sec and in a
minute it
copies 23 sheets. Its print speed is also above average with
just
24ppm, while the first page print takes 12 seconds. It is a
great
MFD, though not in the same league as Lexmark's X463De,
especially
with its rich offerings at such an attractive price.

HP 1536dnf has almost everything that an SME would want from
an MFD
and at Rs 25,000 it's going to very popular.
