At first sight, the HP LaserJet Pro 100 is
a hefty printer with a footprint of 441 x 421 x 338mm. However, as a color
laser multi-function printer (MFP), it is exceptionally small and solid as it
fits conveniently even when install LED on top of your office table, right
beside your desktop.

The unit can support either a wired or
wireless connection. The first will use either a USB cable or an Ethernet
cable, but only a USB cable is supplied. Setting it up via USB installation is
simple with the plug-and-play feature, or you can also use the CD included in
the box. When in use, a message pops up on the computer screen for convenient
tracking of the printer’s status. Quick wireless setup through Wi-Fi is just a
matter of pushing a button on your router or entering a PIN on its interface.
Although the unit itself has a tiny user
interface, it is very user-friendly, as it includes most of the important
buttons needed to operate the printer directly. Monochrome and color copying
can be done directly with the Black and Color buttons. You can even adjust the
density of the printed copy with the Lighter/Darker button. You can also set
the number of copies or configure how it copies documents with the “# Copies”
and Copy Menu buttons, respectively. What it lacks is a Scan button, which
means that you will need a connected computer every time you scan documents.
Monochrome printing is incredibly fast, but
color printing takes a little more time since it waits for the ink cartridges
to rotate due to its carousel-style cartridge bay. The four toner cartridges
are seated on a rotating bay, with the black cartridge located at the ink
output area by default. For colored printouts, the cartridges move around to
mix inks, which means slower printing. This design results in its compact
physique, but at the expense of its color printing speed.
Notably, it is virtually silent when
printing, copying, or scanning, which may be a plus for users who get easily
bothered by noisy printers.

The quality of prints is fairly good with
striking black text and vivid color gradations. However, as with any laser
printer, it is not recommended for printing on glossy photo paper because the
print comes out flat and without the expected shimmer.
As a compact MFP, the HP LaserJet Pro 100
will not hog the space on your desk, and it will provide quality prints at a
reasonable price. It offers the basic features needed, and if you don’t mind
waiting a little for your printouts, then it can be of great value to you.
