The same toner does not last the same time
HP quotes the M236sdn the same recommended monthly volume as its USB sisters: 200 to 2,000 pages. In the field the difference lies elsewhere. A machine plugged in over USB serves one person; a machine on Ethernet serves the whole office, and that is what decides real autonomy.
The arithmetic speaks for itself. On a single workstation printing 200 pages a month, a 136A lasts close to six months. On a network of five people at the same rate, it falls to a little over a month — and if the office reaches the recommended 2,000 pages, to seventeen days. Same cartridge, same specification sheet, and resupply ten times more often.
What the document feeder changes
The "s" in M236sdn stands for its automatic document feeder. It uses no toner at all while you scan: a document scanned and emailed costs nothing. It does make copy runs so easy, though, that they become a small office's leading source of consumption — twenty originals through the feeder means twenty pages of toner, exactly like twenty prints.
It prints at 29 pages per minute, with automatic duplex, a 150-sheet tray and a 4 cm icon display.
Should you take the 136X on a shared machine?
Yes, in almost every case. On a networked machine, the cost of an empty cartridge is not only its price: it is work interrupted for several people, often at the wrong moment. The 2,600 pages of the 136X halve the number of those interruptions, for an identical slot and identical handling.
