Overview

The HP LaserJet Pro M479fdw is a four-function color laser all-in-one — print, copy, scan, fax — built around a 28 ppm color laser engine with 600x600 dpi native resolution. That speed rating is competitive for its class: 28 ppm color means a ten-page document exits the output tray in under 22 seconds from a warmed engine. The 250-sheet main tray plus 50-sheet multipurpose tray gives 300 sheets of total input capacity before a refill, and the 150-sheet output bin handles a full tray's worth of output without overflow. The 50-sheet ADF and 1200x1200 dpi scan resolution address the scan and copy side of the workflow — 1200 dpi scan output is sufficient for archival document imaging and OCR processing.

This printer is built for small to medium offices where a single device needs to replace a printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine without occupying an entire equipment room. At 51.6 lbs and 15.7 x 18.6 x 16.4 inches, it requires a dedicated surface and is not a casual desktop device — but the trade-off is a paper handling system robust enough for sustained daily use. The 4.3-inch color touchscreen, wireless connectivity, Wi-Fi Direct, and Ethernet make it deployable in virtually any office network configuration. It is the right device for organizations that need reliable color output, document feeding, and multi-function capability in a single footprint — and are willing to manage four-color toner consumables accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

600x600 dpi is the M479fdw's native laser engine resolution. For text documents and standard business graphics, it produces sharp, professional output indistinguishable from higher-resolution laser printers. It is not optimized for photographic reproduction — if you're printing marketing photos, an inkjet or wide-format device will outperform it. For its intended office use case, the resolution is entirely adequate.
The printer supports media up to 8.5 x 14" through the main paper path. The 50-sheet ADF can feed legal-size originals for scanning and copying. Tray 2 supports standard paper sizes up to legal for print jobs; confirm media support for your specific paper size before loading non-standard stock.
No. Wi-Fi Direct creates a peer-to-peer wireless connection between your mobile device and the printer without requiring a local network or router. You connect your phone or tablet directly to the printer's own wireless network, print, and disconnect. It is separate from the standard Wi-Fi network connection.
The 28 ppm rating is for single-sided black print from a computer — the fastest scenario. Copy speed at 19 ppm reflects the additional processing time to scan each page before printing. The 50-sheet ADF scan speed of 26 ppm applies to feeding originals through the document feeder, which is the relevant metric for bulk scan-to-email workflows.
Auto duplex applies to print jobs. For copy jobs, the ADF feeds single-sided originals and the printer can output double-sided copies automatically. Duplex scanning (scanning both sides in one pass) depends on the ADF's capability — single-pass duplex ADF scanning is a feature of higher-end models, so verify this workflow against HP's documentation for the M479fdw specifically.
