Manual of product KX-P2130
Editorial note
The Panasonic KX-P2130 printer stands out for its compact design and reasonable weight of 4990 g, making it easy to integrate into various workspaces. Its user experience is generally positive, offering easy handling. In terms of performance, the maximum printing speed of 250 characters per second is acceptable but may seem low compared to other modern models, which could slow down productivity in demanding environments. The printing resolution of 360 x 360 DPI ensures adequate clarity for standard documents, but may not satisfy users with higher printing quality needs. Despite interesting features like the ability to print up to four copies simultaneously, the lack of wireless connectivity and out-of-the-box network features limits its use in collaborative work environments. This could be a drawback for those looking to easily share the printer within a team. In summary, the Panasonic KX-P2130 offers good value for money for standard printing, but its limitations in connectivity and performance may not suit all users, especially in a professional setting where speed and print quality are paramount.Score details
