HP DeskJet 2130 MFP: owner reviews, specifications and features

The all-in-one entry-level device , which combines a printer, copier and scanner, is the HP Deskjet 2130. Reviews indicate that this American manufacturer has really got another successful product. The cost of this MFP is really very modest, and the technical specifications are typical for this class of devices. This is exactly what will be discussed later.

Niche of this MFP

As it was mentioned earlier, this multifunctional device belongs to the decisions of the budget level. This is indicated by a modest resolution, and the presence of only 4 colors instead of 6, and even the cost in this case leaves no doubt. This is a typical budget printer, scanner and copier in one person. To its pluses, you can accurately relate the relatively high speed and the ability to install a system of NPCs. In the latter case, this inexpensive device can turn into a full-fledged printing factory. The most optimal hero of this article will look at home. Another possible area of use is small offices. As in the first, and in the second case, the possibilities of such an IFI will be quite enough to organize a full-fledged workflow.

Package Contents

Simply excellent, as for a budget solution, bundled into the HP Deskjet 2130 MFPs (K7N77C). Reviews also highlight that it is enough to immediately start using this device right after the purchase. The list of deliveries in this case includes the following:

• MFP.

• A set of 2 cartridges with a reduced capacity.

• Standard interface cable.

• Power cord of the MFP.

• Guide for using and configuring the all-in-one.

• A disk with drivers and other necessary software.

• Branded warranty card.

All the above is enough to immediately start using the device considered in this material for its intended purpose. But a more practical solution in this situation will be to complete this MFP with an external NPC system. This will significantly minimize the cost of consumables and will reduce the cost of one received on this universal machine print.

Technology

Liquid color ink for printing uses this HP Deskjet 2130 Inkjet MFP. The owners' feedback indicates the acceptable quality of the received documents. And this entirely applies to both monochrome and color prints. To receive a document in black and white, only one cartridge is used. In turn, when printing in color, there are already 2 cartridges, which are filled with 4 kinds of ink. In addition to the usual black, in this case there is also purple, yellow and blue.

Speed characteristics

The speed of the output of the document can be called an important advantage against the background of competitors that the HP Deskjet 2130 can boast. Reviews also highlight the speed in draft mode. In this case, in the monochrome mode, 20 pages can be displayed, and in color - 16 pages. If you improve the quality, then the print speed will drop to 7.5 and 5.5 pages per minute, respectively. Well, for the output of one photograph with dimensions of 10 x 15 this MFP in the mode of the highest quality will spend about 69 seconds.

Paper Size

The maximum page sizes are 29.7 cm in length and 21.0 cm in width for the HP Deskjet 2130. Reviews also indicate that this budget solution is unable to print in a frameless mode. The largest format on which this MFP can print is A4. letter. Also in this list there are such common formats as A5, B5 and even letter. Even in the software of this multifunctional device, it is possible to manually set sheet sizes. ² . The smallest permissible value of the paper's density is set by the manufacturer at a value of 60 g / m ² . ² . The maximum corresponds to 300 g / m ² .

Resolution in different modes

1200 x 1200 is the maximum resolution for working in the printer mode for HP Deskjet 2130 K7N77C. Reviews of the same owners indicate that for an entry-level device that the manufacturer does not position as a photo printer, this value is enough. At 1200dpi, the resolution is set to scan mode. As in the previous case, this value is more than enough for obtaining high-quality digital prints as usual documents, and for pictures and photos. The most modest resolution values are set for the copier mode. In this case, you can only get 300 x 600. But for an inkjet MFU of a budget class, again, this is quite enough.

Cartridges

Two modifications of the cartridges can be used in the HP Deskjet 2130. Reviews cartridge model HP123 is characterized by far from the best side. It has a reduced capacity, and its resource is limited to 120 sheets for monochrome printing and 100 pages for color. It is this model of the cartridge that comes in the basic configuration of this MFP. But it is more practical to use a cartridge with an increased capacity as part of such a multifunctional device. This is the HP123XL. This will increase the number of printed pages in black and white mode to 480 and in color to 330.

Interface set

On the one hand, the interface kit of this MFP is really modest. . It only includes the method of connection - it's a USB wired standard. It is for this reason that this multiplier and printer should be located next to the system unit of the personal computer. и картридером, например. Of course, it would be much more convenient in the event that this MFP was equipped with Wi-Fi and a card reader, for example. But this would lead to a significant rise in the cost of the printing system. Well, and since in the budget class the cost comes to the fore, it was prudent to minimize the number of supported interfaces and at the same time the price. This is what American engineers did when designing this MFP. Minimized the number of ways to connect, but the cost in this case also significantly decreased.

Software Features

An interesting situation with drivers in the HP Deskjet 2130. The reviews highlight the fact that the list of supported operating systems does not include such common software products as Linux or UNIX. The manufacturer does not provide drivers for such system solutions. . Therefore, the list of supported system software products in this case is limited only to "Windows" and MacOS . In the first case, the list of operating system versions includes 7, 8, 8.1 and, of course, 10. In the second case, drivers exist for OS versions from 10.08 and ending at 10.10.

CISS

The integrated HPH system can not boast the HP Deskjet AIO 2130 MFP. The reviews highlight this significant drawback of this model. But still there is the possibility of installing an external such system. Of course, it will have to be bought additionally for a fee. The cost of such a system is now about 1000 rubles. To buy it is not so difficult, and the main problem here is further tuning. But the benefits of installing such a CISS are obvious: a significant reduction in the consumption of ink and the conversion of this universal device into a real printing factory.

Price

The undisputed advantages include low cost HP Deskjet AIO 2130. Reviews really indicate the availability of this universal device, which without special problems and with minimal investment can be turned into a full-fledged printing and copying factory. To purchase the basic equipment of this MFP, you must pay an amount of about 3000 rubles. Well, if you add about 1,000 rubles to this and buy an external CISS, you can forget about buying consumables seriously and for a long time. In the latter case, the only problem is the installation of external CISS. But, experience shows, there is certainly no special complication in this operation, and everyone can deal with it with force.

Reviews

Essentially, there are no shortcomings in such a device as the HP Deskjet AIO 2130 MFP. The reviews in this plan only allocate relatively expensive consumables (cartridges in the first place) and the lack of a built-in NPH system. But, as noted earlier, it is possible to complete this universal device, which combines a printer, a scanner and even a copier, with an external NPC system. This will allow to abandon the constant change of cartridges and significantly reduce the cost of printing. But the advantages of this MFP are much greater. First of all, this is the cost, which currently corresponds to 3000 rubles. The second important point is the speed that the hero of this review has one of the best among representatives of printing devices of the initial class. As a result, we get a budget-level MFI that perfectly combines quality, excellent technical specifications and low cost.

Summary

Well-balanced from the standpoint of technical specifications, cost and quality is HP Deskjet 2130. Reviews in most cases this is confirmed. Of course, this MFP has drawbacks. But they are not so essential, and they can even be eliminated in some cases. For example, installing CISS allows you to minimize the cost of printing and copying. But the minimal set of methods of connection is typical for budget multiplying, printing and scanning devices. чем-то необычным в этом случае не является. And the presence of only one USB port is unusual in this case is not. Especially, as was noted earlier, such an engineering approach can significantly reduce the cost of the device. If you need something more in terms of communications, then you need to buy a device of another class with a higher price tag and more advanced technical specifications. Well, the positive aspects of the hero of this review is much larger. This and the speed, and the choice of paper size and installation of CISS, and the cost, which is very, very modest.
