The two printers are almost comparable in terms of design and function, but the HP Instant Ink subscription gives the 9025e a free six-month supply of ink. Unfortunately, the 9025e also results in skewed scans when utilizing the ADF scanner, just as its predecessor. A color inkjet multifunction printer, the HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 is intended for use in small to medium-sized workplaces or workgroups. It prints effectively, has two huge paper drawers that hold 250 sheets each, and includes an automated document feeder (ADF) with a single pass for scanning, copying, and faxing several two-sided pages. The Editors’ Choice Epson WorkForce Pro WF-C5790, which has most of the same capabilities and is $30 less expensive, but just edges it out. But the OfficeJet Pro 9025 is one of the best SoHo-focused AIOs on the market thanks to its outstanding feature set, superb print quality, and affordable running costs. you can read our article on HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 review.
Design
The HP Officejet Pro 9025 is the immediate replacement for the HP Officejet Pro 8720, which is three years old. It makes a clear departure from the smoother, pebble-like form of its predecessor by adopting a monolithic, white/dark grey design with sharp edges. According to HP, redesigning the printer resulted in space savings. In comparison to the 8720, the 9025 is up to 39% smaller. It still needs a sizable amount of desk space, as well as additional clearance for the fold-out paper tray, at 396 x 437mm. It weighs 12 kg and needs roughly 60 cm of vertical clearance (when opening the scanning lid). HP designers decided for a simple approach: the LCD touch panel has been downsized; it is bright and responsive, not very large (6.75cm diagonally) making it difficult sometimes to get your requests across. There are only two status lights, the power button is on top, and there is only one USB connection at the bottom for connecting external storage devices. Two RJ11 modem connections, one 10/100MBps Ethernet port, and a USB 2.0 connector are located on the back. There are two input paper trays: one regular A4 (250 pages) and one multi-purpose, as well as a pop-out tray for printed material (250 sheets).
HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 review: Display
The OfficeJet Pro 9025’s screen console is superb. It has excellent responsiveness, audio feedback, and visibility-improving tilting. The settings are simple to use, and there are buttons for “Home” and “Back” at the bottom of the screen (which are not visible). The screen display on the printer that is marketed has a diameter of 6.6 cm, but this is an end-to-end measurement. The diagonal measurement of the screen.
Features
The printer runs on a 1.2GHz dual-core processor with 512MB of memory, supports 802.11n wireless technology, and works with a variety of mobile printing standards (e.g. AirPrint). One of the Officejet Pro 9025’s most notable features is hailed as Smart Tasks. These are essentially routines, scripts, or macros that, according to HP, can reduce work completion time in half. Use the four that are already there or make your own. During our test, we discovered that the printer’s Smart Tasks were not synced with either our desktop or mobile app. Additionally, the multifunction printer includes some intriguing security features that are typically found on business laptops, such as automatic firmware recovery (self-healing BIOS), firmware integrity/secure boot, run-time integrity, and automatic firmware update, all of which aim to reduce the possibility of BIOS tampering by outside parties. In addition, the MFP features WPA Enterprise Wi-Fi encryption as well as secure Wi-Fi direct to harden the device’s wireless connectivity. You can define access rules and manage the onboard firewall using the integrated web server capability, making it helpful for system administrators, users with many users, or larger offices. But due to its intrinsic complexity, non-technical users will probably avoid it. also you will learn our article on HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 review.
Connectivity
Standard interfaces for the OfficeJet Pro 9025 include Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB connection to a single PC, and printing to and scanning to USB thumb drives. On the front of the chassis, in the lower-right corner, is that port. Additionally, you may link the printer to various cloud and social media services using web apps from the control panel or the built-in HTTP server of the printer, as demonstrated below. Security and many other things can be configured on the onboard website. The OfficeJet Pro 9025’s mobile connectivity is a little more flexible than that of some rival office-focused AIOs in that it includes features like Bluetooth 5 LE (low-energy), which supports multiple connections at once, Wi-Fi Direct, Apple AirPrint, Mopria, and direct printing to the printer locally or remotely via the HP Smart App.
Setup and software
The touch screen control panel’s home screen doesn’t appear on the OfficeJet Pro 9025’s control panel for roughly 39 seconds. However, that does not imply that it is prepared to start working. The notice prevented my attempts to make a duplicate right away “Another project is ongoing. Check back later.” Making a successful copy required several attempts and took a total of 1 minute and 33 seconds. This OfficeJet was simple to install. To get started, simply take out a piece of cardboard from the paper tray and unwrap the one lengthy piece of blue tape that has been covering the lid. The setup sheet that is given instructs you to go to 123.hp.com to download software. also you will check our article on HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 review. You can print, scan, and fax using the HP Smart software you download, and HP says faxing will be added in the future. The software provided a straightforward new printer setup that worked well. You can activate your warranty, set up an online account, and receive an Instant Ink promotion. However, after attempting to correctly choose the areas of a photo containing a bus, streetlight, bicycle, etc. for roughly 21 CAPTCHA attempts (three rounds each), we gave up on creating an account.
Print quality
The OfficeJet Pro 9025 consistently produces high-quality images. Text print letterforms are dark and crisp, if not quite as smooth and razor-sharp as laser print edges. Graphics printed with good reproduction of fine details, pleasing contrast, vibrant colours, and smooth midtone transitions. However, there was some banding in the images, especially in the flat-colored portions. Photos with a glossy finish had appealing details and naturally saturated colours. When copying off the glass, the copy quality was excellent. In general, letterforms in copies of a laser-printed original appeared sharp. However, while printing with the ADF, some copies had a few spots where the text appeared a little less precise or deformed (squashed or elongated, slightly). A faint vertical double line on one side of the page was also printed in certain copies. However, the tilt to ADF scans that resulted in text lines that were not horizontally true as in the source document was the most common. The scan quality is very excellent. Magazine graphics and text pages were accurately and sharply scanned, and colour was correctly recreated in images. However, shadow areas in photographs were somewhat dark and lost some fine details. A closer inspection revealed textures that appeared smeared and edges that appeared too sharpened. This resulted in an artificial flattening of depth, especially on faces.
HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 review: Print speed
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 prints pages quickly. The first page of a black text document takes a little longer to print, but the subsequent pages print much more quickly. Although it takes a little longer to print photographs and colour documents, it is still quicker than the HP OfficeJet Pro 9015. Pages with both text and graphics print quickly as well. With a six-page document produced in 59.4 seconds (or 6.1 ppm), the OfficeJet Pro 9025 won this test as well. This is significantly faster than the category average of 2 minutes and 38 seconds (or 2.8 ppm). The same paper took the Canon TS9120 1 minute, 45 seconds to print. On glossy letter-size paper, the OfficeJet produced our test image rapidly. It was about two minutes and 19 seconds faster than the average of four minutes and 31 seconds. Even more quickly, the Canon TS9120 finished in under 2 minutes.
Scanning speed and quality
According to HP, the Officejet Pro 9250 can scan documents at up to 20ppm in colour and 24ppm in black at a resolution of 1200dpi. It has duplex ADF (auto-document feeder) functionality and has a 35-sheet capacity. With the default settings (150 dpi, single sheet, medium compression, and output to PDF) and the HP Smart app on Windows 10, we were able to scan our test set of documents (ancient bank statements) in 156 seconds. For 72 pages or 36 sheets, that is a pace of roughly 27 ppm; not bad at all. Yes, that exceeds the theoretical cap of 35, and we have little doubt that you’ll have no issue scanning 40 sheets. You can save in PDF, JPEG, or TIFF formats, and the scanning quality is adequate. You can scan from the multifunctional printer to an email, folder, sharepoint, or thumb drive. Additionally, you will be able to send them to Onedrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, and more.
HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 review: Security
Security on the OfficeJet Pro 9025 is a little different from that on some other AIOs geared toward offices. It has its own firewall, from which you may manage access, including to other functions, by IP address, or you can create a global password for forbidding any access to the device, as opposed to setting up user- and department-based access rules, PINs, and other more standard configurations. Although these might not be your usual options, this strategy is more than adequate for an AIO created for small work group access.
Price
This printer has a decent value offer. It’s quite reasonably priced, coming in at slightly over $320. Future upgrades will be able to fix some issues, such as the problematic HP Smart Tasks programme (which should not be confused with the HP Smart App for mobile). However, the Brother MFCL2750DW will save you almost $100 if all of your business printing is going to be in monochrome.
Conclusion
The HP 9025e works well for home or small offices. For both black-and-white and colour documents, it produces a sizable number of pages, which lowers the cost-per-print significantly. The printing speed is excellent, with succeeding pages printing slightly quicker than the initial page. You don’t need to manually scan two-sided documents because it offers a single-pass duplex scanning feature and an automatic document feeder. The scanner’s lid hinges can’t unfortunately be extended to fit heavy books. Additionally, the ADF scanner has a problem that results in slanted scans.
