Not bad for the price I paid for. Text printing is good while it's not too small. Not bad for the personal use but I will buy other brand next time. (Read full review at Pricegrabber)

1400W is a compact and affordable laer printer for personal office and home use. The printing quality is pretty good and it prints pretty fast. Sometimes I feel it is a bit noisy when printing. But this is not a big complain. (Read full review at Pricegrabber)

This model is an upgrade of K-M's popular model 1350. It is smaller than 1350 and functions similarly. Price is good and printing quality is OK. I will Recommend this printer as home use one. (Read full review at Pricegrabber)

This printer will print everything and more. This is ideal for a small home office. Even though it takes a lot of space on your desk, it will provide effective print quality. The best printer that money can buy! (Read full review at Pricegrabber)

For an entry class laser, it offesr a low price, fast printing, easy to setup. Make sure you get a cheap usb cable somewhere as no usb cable is provided like most printers (Read full review at Pricegrabber)

| The Konica Minolta PagePro 1400W monochrome laser printer has a compact design that fits easily into a limited space. It includes a high-speed USB 2.0 port but no parallel port, so it may not work with older systems. The PagePro 1400W is quick and e ...

| Like Canon’s Laser Shot LBP2900, Konica Minolta is also targeting home office users rather than larger ‘small businesses’ with the PagePro 1400W. This is an attractive looking printer thanks to a blue and beige casing so it will slip into home offices very easily. The Konica Minolta is also quite compact, with dimensions of 269x354 x240mm (WxDxH), so it won’t monopolise too much of your desk space either. Feature wise, the PagePro 1400W offers a higher maximum print resolution than the Canon and is also equipped with 8Mbytes of buffer memory (compared to the Laser Shot’s 2Mbytes). This being the case, the Konica Minolta is slightly faster at handling large jobs. When put to the test, the 1400W left the Canon in the dust. Its 16.4ppm monochrome print speed was faster than the Canon’s 11.2ppm. The Konica also finished the PDF print job faster, though its win here wasn’t quite as impressive as it was only 1.5ppm quicker. Rather surprisingly, the PagePro took three seconds longer than Canon’s offering to print the first page of our test PDF. This printer is also a little noisier than Canon’s LBP2900, so if total peace and quiet is what you’re after, to concentrate on your work, the Canon maybe the better choice. ...

| Konica Minolta PagePro 1400W This compact laser printer produces fast, high-quality text, but has only one paper tray. The compact Konica Minolta PagePro 1400W costs just $120 (as of 8/4/2006), but it lacks several features that you can find on printers costing only a little more. Its single paper tray holds just 150 sheets. The tray also lacks a cover to protect against dust and spills. Most monochrome lasers we've reviewed recently offer at least a manual slot for feeding alternative paper types and envelopes, but for the 1400W, these must be swapped into the tray. (At least you can feed up to ten envelopes from the tray--some printers let you feed only one at a time.) The 1400W connects to your PC through its USB 2.0 High-Speed port. You'll need to use Windows' built-in printer sharing to make it available to other PCs on your network. Like many budget-priced printers, the 1400W uses your PC's processor to render its pages directly from Windows' low-level Graphics Device Interface. As a result, this printer is compatible with Windows machines only, and it lacks PostScript and PCL support--though that shouldn't affect your ability to print everyday documents. Konica Minolta ships the printer with a toner cartridge that yields only 1000 pages (according to the industry-standard rating method). Replacement cartridges rated at 2000 pages cost a moderate $55 each. However, a separate drum unit costing $105 has to be replaced every 20,000 pages, pushing the cost per page up to 3.3 cents. Replacing these parts is a rather complex process. A complete imaging unit slides out through the front door of the printer, from which you detach both the toner cartridge and the drum. The process exposes you to the toner, which is easy to spill. By contrast, the Lexmark E120n , for example, uses cleanly sealed toner cartridges that you replace without touching the drum. For a laser this cheap, print quality was surprisingly good. We saw nice solid text with crisp edges in our tests, although some bold lettering almost merged. Line art appeared sharp, but blocks of close parallel lines were spaced unevenly to give striped-like patterns. We spied very narrow horizontal banding across our grayscale image, but it had smooth tonal changes despite being a bit dark. In our speed tests, text pages printed at 13.1 pages per minute, a slower rate than most recent small-office lasers have achieved. Graphics also printed at a below-average 6.5 ppm. The Konica Minolta PagePro 1400W is a budget model that should fit easily into even the smallest office. However, its lack of multiple paper trays and slow printing speed make it less appealing than other compact models. -- Paul Jasper ...

| The Konica Minolta PagePro 1400W ($119.99 direct) is one of the least expensive monochrome laser printers we've seen, second only to the $99 Dell Laser Printer 1100 . Unfortunately, although it's fast, its output quality is below par for a monochrome laser. That makes it a poor choice for business use, but a reasonable possibility as a home or dorm room printer, with quality that's adequate for things like personal correspondence and schoolwork. ...
