HP OfficeJet Pro 9012e is efficient for home offices

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9012e is a strong choice for home offices. It can print, scan, copy, and fax, offering fast results. This model looks similar to the previous 9010e but is designed for moderate use. It can handle a maximum of 25,000 pages per month but is better suited for around 1,500 pages a month. It has a 250-sheet paper cassette and a 35-sheet automatic document feeder. The printer uses a 6.9cm color touchscreen for easy control. One notable feature is that users have the option to sign up for HP+. This service includes an additional year of warranty and six months of free ink. However, users are not required to use HP+ to activate the printer. The costs for printing are low, with one penny per page for black and 4.2 pennies for color prints. The OfficeJet Pro 9012e claims to have self-healing Wi-Fi, but some users reported connectivity problems. It was slow to spool for multi-page jobs, yet once it started, it printed quickly. It managed 21.1 pages per minute for text and 6.9 pages per minute for color graphics. In copying, the printer is quick, producing black copies in nine seconds and color copies in ten seconds. Scanning is also fast, with low-resolution scans completed in ten seconds. However, the quality for photos is not great, with a dull finish for prints. Overall, the HP OfficeJet Pro 9012e is a reliable and efficient printer for home office tasks. It gives good performance and is cost-effective for printing. Nonetheless, its price has increased compared to the previous model, making it less attractive on the value front.
