HP is trying to become more active in the higher end copier ,market. However they have greatly fallen short in their equipment. This has resulted in many hp problems. Basically HP takes a printer and designs a MFD copier printer scanner fax unit around it. It’s not a from scratch machine originally design as a full business class copier printer. The cost of the machine are approximately the sames as Ricoh, Sharp, Kyocera or Copystar copier printer scanner fax machine so there is not cost advantage. Hp is trying to leverage their name as the selling point. However, there are some inherent problems:
here are specifications fro the HP M5035mfp
HP LaserJet M5035 MFP is a copier, printer color scanner, and fax MFD office class device that comes as a desktop to a full size machine with the additional of addition drawers stand unit.
- Handles letter, legal and 11×17 size documents
- 35 ppm copy/print speed
- 50 page ADF
- Superior network connectivity and management
- Embedded LDAP and Kerberos network authentication
- Embedded send to network folder and e-mail
However, there are problems and one is not solvable – light scanning and copying. HP M5035MFP repair of the lightness problem has not solution. The unit prints great (remember it a MFD designed around a printer) but when it starts developing lightness of scanning HP has not solutions. Up grading the firmware does not solve the scanning repair problem. Cleaning the and doing HP maintenance on the optics does not solve the problem. The only solution we haev not tried is replacing the WHOLE adf with the image scanner unit due to excess costs and time. If you need a true full business class copier printer scanner you may want to look elsewhere than HP at the present time. Kyocera, Copystar, sharp and Ricoh are among the best and easiest to service repair.
