Arrived very well boxed. Easy setup. Make sure you download the larger of the two files listed on their website for this model. The downloaded file will install the driver and scanner software.
I connected it to my LAN so it can be used by any device connected to the LAN.
Arrived well packaged and with fast delivery a good working printer monochrome.
It was easy to set up, and its printing fast and efficient.
It has scanner, can make photocopy and can print double side.
The text is clear and the performance is excellent.
I would highly recommend this black and white printer.
I got this Pantum Printer to replace my HP ink jet printer because the replacement ink is so costly.
And because I only used it know and then the ink would dry up and when the ink was printing well it would not last very long, so that why I got the Pantum Laser Printer and it only took 15 mins to unpack and set up and is printing great and because it Laser it uses powder so wont dry up.
This printer is perfect if you’re after a basic black and white printer that offers fast and efficient printing. It can print unto 22 pages per minute and connects easily through wifi. It can print double sized, photocopy and scan.
Setting up was a breeze, just installed the driver and setup the wifi and I was ready to go. I can print from any device, even my phone with the iPhone app called Pantum. It’s almost ready to go as soon as you take it out from the box.
It’s a no frills printer, but it’s practical and robust and does the job of a decent printer. It offers everything that a high end expensive printer of the same type offers, at a much more competitive price and is great value for money. It performs well in my small home office with daily use, I’m not sure how good it would be for heavy industrial use but the printer seems well made so I would take a guess that I would cope just fine.
Overall, it’s a fantastic printer thats budget friendly for anyone seeking a quality printer thats reliable and fast.
Arrived well packaged and on time. It was easy to set up and is really imho a well made machine. The print clarity is very good and will, I’m sure, do exactly what i expect of it. I have no hesitation in recommending this laser printer/scanner/copier to any prospective purchaser.
Easy connect to all devices with no problems, very straightforward. The software wasn’t available on line, even though the instructions say they are, so we used the disc provided which was a little annoying as it involved juggling a disc drive and flash drive.
It prints quickly. Only single sided, but you can put pages back through by hand. It prints well, scans well
Good little mono laser printer for home or small office use but not built for heavy use.
The thing that lets this printer down is the build quality, cheap plastics, flimsy parts such as the paper tray along with poor hinges and catches means that, whilst the prints from this printer are of a good quality, this machine is not going to stand up to much more than average domestic use.
It has all the functions of a more expensive machine such as duplex printing, scanning, copying, WiFi connection etc. but at a lesser cost. I’ve yet to buy a replacement toner cartridge as the trial one supplied with the machine can produce 700 prints (an original Pantum PA-210 toner cartridge costs 56.90 on Amazon).
Altogether, a good budget mono, multi-function, laser printer that just needs careful handling when using it.
Chose a monochrome printer as fed up with printers that colour ink seems to evaporate from and we only really need to print documents in greyscale. This was pretty easy to set up and quality of print is good. Only had it 24 hours and so far all good
For a small office where colour printing is not a necessity (perhaps you already have a small colour photo printer?) then this printer and scanner combo could be a good addition.
I had need to visit someone recently where I knew I would need to scan and copy items, but could not be clear as to what they had available, so I put this device in the boot of the car and away I went. This isn’t designed as a travel scanner/printer, but the size isn’t so excessive that it isn’t possible.
Upon needing to get things working, the device was easy to set up. Upon first use there are several bits of sticky tape that need removal, and this does also involve removing the supplied toner cartridge and a long strip of plastic holding the toner in place.
From that point I then needed to plug in the power, and attach the device to the WiFI. This was achieved by following the prompts from the app, and was relatively painless.
The app allows for the phone to print, scan, and see details of the printer such as the address etc.
To get the printer to work with a windows machine, you will need to download the software from the Pantum website, the drivers are not available directly from Microsoft.
I have attached a picture of a scan of the manual, which was then printed.
The scanning isn’t the fastest, but for the odd one or two it is usable.
This printer is good quality and very easy to set up. You get an A4 booklet of instructions from taking the travel tape off to connecting to your wifi. I have to say I encountered no problems at all.
To use I connected it to my phone via an app, the app is intuitive and easy to use. As a test print (which I have included in a short video) I printed a photograph with text to see how it would cope. It did just fine! The image is easy to see and the text bold. There are some fine lines across the image but I’d expect that. I also copied using the scanner a page from the instructions, again this was done with ease and the results good. To save energy it goes into energy saving mode and is easily woken up. The control pad pulls out should you wish and the paper tray is adjustable to your paper size.
Overall I am very satisfied with the quality of this printer, it is quick and easy to use and I am happy to recommend to others.
This is a multi functional home office printer, is is small and compact taking up only a small footprint space on my desk. I have never owned a laser printer before and have always used an Ink Jet printer, these are slow to print and very expensive to use when you take into consideration the cost of the ink. This printer is a laser printer, it prints super fast and the cost per sheet ratio is significantly cheaper than an ink jet print.
The printer is a combined 600dpi colour scanner, copier and printer. Using the printer is super simple with purpose buttons for quick things like photo copying. There is a pull out display which show basic information such as print density/quality and number of copies. The printer is also WIFI so can print without the need for any USB cables. My windows 11 laptop did not even need any drivers installed (of which there is an included driver disc), the printer was discovered immediately as a network printer and windows just installed the correct drivers – i was literally printing within 2 mins. There is also a very basic but practical phone app for both IOS and Android – this allows you to print wirelessly to the printer from your mobile phone.
Print quality is pretty good, text and pictures come out fine. I would perhaps of liked the print quality to be a little darker as i did find even on the darkest print setting it was more grey than pure black. But for quick and cheap document printing this printer is brilliant. I feel it is good value for money and having researched the toner prices the PA-210 cartridge that this machine uses is competitively priced and prints round 1600 pages.
I would recommend this budget all in one laser printer to others – it has definitely made my ink jet redundant for B&W document printing.
As I remember on average I print roughly 40 to 50 pages per day and I was quite surprised with the fact that this printer is able to print them extremely fast which is quite impressive.
Particularly for my use, being able to connect this with the wirelessly it is very helpful because I can print pages even though I am not next to the printer itself and I have four devices already connected to it and without any doubt it allows me to save a lot of time by not having to go next to it and plug cables anymore.
The setup was easy as I remember it took me around less than 10 minutes(i’m quite experienced with these type of products) and the first thing that I did was to print a test page check what is the quality and to my surprise it is even better than I expected.
The good part about it is that besides it’s great functionality, when I’ll have to replace the ink, it is going to be quite cheap(I have checked this before getting this printer to make sure that it is not gonna cost too much money).
I’m very satisfied with the print quality and also with the functionality of this printer, it is easy to use and so far it didn’t disappoint in anyway.
Just to give you a good example, sometimes it happens for me to print something and for my wife from another room to do the same thing at the same time and everything works great.
Laser printers have certainly changed over the years. I bought my first one – for work – in the mid 80s at a cost of 999 plus VAT. At the time this was amazing, both price wise and in print quality.
Now we have this – a laser printer at a fraction of the price I paid all those years ago and something that gives a far superior print quality. As you can imagine I am more than happy with this one.
For a budget laser printer this is amazing. It’s fast, prints brilliantly and is even fairly quiet – a big bonus in my books – and is not too big as to take up a lot of desk room.
Simply put, this is a real contender for the best budget laser printer out there and for me, it is the best.
This printer is significantly cheaper than comparable models which is an affordable option if you want laser printing at home. It also has a decent print quality and connects easily via wifi so you can print from your laptop, phone, or even tablet. I found the printer setup to be relatively easy even for non techie users. Be mindful that it is a mono printer so it only prints in black and white.
I’ve always had inkjet or similar at home but it has its limitations and when you just want to print a black and white document it can be frustrating when the ink doesn’t align perfectly due to lack of use. This laser printer doesn’t really care how often you use it, no ink to dry out or heads to clog up. Pretty simple to configure and connect to Wi-Fi using just a mobile device, has other options for USB or Ethernet if you want and drivers are available for most devices. Haven’t tried the scan or copy functions yet but this can either be done from the app or the console itself by the looks of it. Quite light, a little bulky however it is smaller than a portrait A4 page so you have to leave the paper tray, which is open and not covered, sticking out. This might restrict some placements, I’ve had to remove the paper and close the tray each time but then I don’t intend for this to be a highly utilised product, just something for when I occasionally need to print letters or labels perhaps, still have the colour inkjet for pictures and such. Comes with a 700 page toner installed, replacement cartridges range from about 40 for OEM to half that for compatibles but are just over double the capacity of the one shipped at 1600 pages.
Really impressed is there quite light laser printer the instruction leaflet covers two models. The photographs are for the bigger model. The process of reading the instructions are the same very comprehensive easy to use. The power cable is a nice length you get a PC connect cable and then obviously your Wi-Fi brilliant easy to set up. You have a QR code for an app so you can use it on your phone Very easy to turn the printer on button upfront on the right hand side which lights up the control panel and then you program everything else but your Wi-Fi very easy. Doesn’t take long you just need to take your time
Really impressed. The first cartridge comes with the printer itself. You just have to open the printer case in take the printer cartridge out. Take off the seals and then place back in and you’re ready to go brilliant however have found placing the lid down once you’ve opened it up you sometimes have to add a bit more force but overall printers very good. Everything tied is away quite nicely. The paper drawer The top you have a scanner on the top, it’s brilliant very impressed. Great price point. Very pleased
This is a good little printer that I found easy to set and and it connected quickly to the WI-FI. Prints well and is super simple to use. Cosmetically it looks smart and it is a good replacement to my old one. The print quality is excellent, really happy so far.
I have not needed to use the technical support so I cannot comment on how good that is but hopefully I won’t need it. For the money I am really impressed and for me this works like a dream and really does what it says it will.
A solid and reliable printer. Prints only in B&W, but the sharpness is there. Connects to WiFi and can be used with an app. The scanner is a great addition too. The print speed is very good, and you’ll get quality per minute with no problems. Easy to use and navigate the menu, and you have tech support available if needed.
