![]() ![]() We've got no complaints about the print quality of text either, as it produces pages with clean but dark looking black text that's sharp and defined. These results compare pretty favourably with other multifunction laser printers on the market at the moment. ![]() Our black and white graphics test document was similarly fast taking 32 seconds. It took 35 seconds to print our ten-page black and white text document, while printing our ten-page business presentation was quick too, at a mere 43 seconds. Once up and running, the printer is a fairly pacey performer. There's also a ten-sheet multipurpose feeder on top that's useful for printing cards or envelopes. Paper is fed into the printer from a fold out tray at the bottom, which can hold a maximum of 250 sheets. It dropped a lot of the fine graduation in grey fills, for example, and text looked a lot rougher than on the original document. However, the copy results weren't as good as we would have liked. It's extremely quick to copy as well, taking just ten seconds to photocopy our test page. The M1536's scanner has an optical resolution of 1,200 dpi and unlike many multifunction models, the scanner lid is double hinged so it can rise up to accommodate thicker books, which is handy. ![]() It can be a great time saver when used in busy home offices. This allows you to automatically copy or fax multi-page documents without having to manually feed in sheets to the scanner one at a time. Sitting on top of the scanner there's a automatic document feeder that can accept up to 35 sheets of paper. Despite the limited amount of information that can be shown on the screen at any one time, the printer's menus are smartly laid out and as a result are easy to navigate around using the directional pad. There are also quick dial buttons on the far left of the panel that allow you to instantly recall commonly used fax numbers. The control panel at the front includes a two-line, monochrome LCD display along with a host of dedicated controls for scanning and copying, as well as a numerical keypad for entering fax numbers. It's all odd shapes and awkward angles and because all those features need to be crammed into the chassis, HP has had to make it quite a tall machine (it measures 373mm high), even if its footprint (at 441x343 mm) isn’t all that big by multifunction standards. Printers are never exactly things of beauty, but the M1536 is uglier than most.
