For small or home offices, the HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e is adequate. It has a low black page yield and prints documents slowly, and its ADF cannot scan double-sided documents automatically. On the other hand, it has a responsive display screen that makes printing and scanning tasks simple, and it has numerous connectivity options, including an Ethernet port for a stable network connection. However, if you need to print colour sheets, it produces a large number of colour pages.
The OfficeJet Pro 8025 measures 9.2 by 18.1 by 20.1 inches (HWD) and weighs just under 30 pounds, making it a few inches larger all around (and about 10 pounds heavier) than the OfficeJet Pro 9015, but several inches smaller than HP’s flagship model, the 9025. Canon’s Pixma TR8520 and Epson’s WorkForce Pro WF-4720, both highly rated competing AIOs, have significantly smaller footprints and weigh several pounds less than this OfficeJet.
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]Almost all AIOs in this price range include automatic document feeders (ADFs) for scanning multipage documents. In this case, the manual-duplexing ADF on the 8025 can handle up to 35 letter or legal-size pages. This is the same as its 9015 and 9025 siblings, as well as Epson’s somewhat comparable WF-4720, whereas the Canon TR8520’s feeder only holds 20 sheets.
Manual duplexing, of course, means that the scanner can only scan one side of two-sided multipage documents, whereas auto-duplexing ADFs can scan both sides of two-sided pages without requiring you to manually flip the originals. The HP 9015 and 9025, as well as the Epson WF-4720, are the only AIOs with auto-duplexing ADFs. The 2.7-inch touch screen of the OfficeJet Pro 8025 allows you to make configuration changes, monitor consumables, and perform walk-up tasks.
The entire control panel is contained within this relatively small screen, though most functions can also be accessed via a portal accessible via nearly any web browser, including those on your smartphone or tablet. One 225-sheet input tray and one 60-sheet output tray are used for paper handling. A 225-sheet capacity isn’t bad, but having only one input source is a bit restrictive in that each time you or a colleague needs to print on different media say, a stack of company checks, envelopes, or labels you must turn off the printer and open and fill the paper drawer.
