Condition: New

HP LaserJet MFP M236sdn is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 40,000, bringing 29 ppm monochrome laser printing, automatic two-sided output, a 40-sheet document feeder, and Fast Ethernet networking to Kenyan offices. The HP LaserJet MFP M236sdn prints, copies, and scans from one compact unit measuring 418 by 308 by 294 millimetres and weighing 9.5 kilogrammes. The first page lands in about 7 seconds, and the monthly duty cycle reaches 20,000 pages. Mascom International stocks the HP LaserJet MFP M236sdn at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Small offices, SACCOs, private schools, clinics, and accounting firms across Kenya share one printer between several desks. The HP LaserJet MFP M236sdn was built for exactly that pattern. Its Fast Ethernet port puts the machine on the office LAN, so ten or fifteen staff print to the same queue without swapping cables around. Accountants preparing KRA returns, lawyers assembling court bundles, and school administrators running term reports all move stacks of paper weekly. Automatic duplex halves the paper bill on long documents, while the 40-sheet feeder scans or copies a whole contract without anyone lifting the flatbed lid.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who quote printer prices without explaining running costs, Mascom International walks buyers through toner yields before they pay. Users consistently report that the M236sdn holds its speed through 300-page jobs and wakes from sleep quickly enough for one-off invoices. At Mascom International, we're seeing Nairobi offices move away from inkjet units that dry out between busy periods, choosing laser hardware such as the HP LaserJet MFP M236sdn instead.

Common Questions About the HP LaserJet MFP M236sdn
Is the HP LaserJet MFP M236sdn worth KSh 40,000 for a Kenyan small office?
Yes, for an office printing between 200 and 2,000 pages a month, which is HP's recommended volume for this model. At KSh 40,000 spread across a three-year service life, the M236sdn costs roughly KSh 37 per working day. That buys printing, copying, and scanning in one machine, plus automatic duplex and network sharing. Buying separate printer and scanner units usually costs more and occupies two desks. Offices printing under 100 pages monthly may not need this capacity.
How fast does the M236sdn actually print?
The M236sdn produces up to 29 pages per minute on A4 and 30 pages per minute on letter paper. The first page leaves the tray in about 7 seconds from ready mode. Two-sided printing runs at up to 18 images per minute, since each sheet flips inside the machine. A 40-page single-sided report finishes in roughly 90 seconds. Copying matches printing at 29 copies per minute on A4, so queues at the machine stay short.
Does the M236sdn print on both sides of the paper automatically?
Yes. Automatic duplex is built in, so the M236sdn flips each sheet internally without anyone reloading paper. HP measures two-sided output at up to 18 images per minute on A4. For a firm printing 2,000 pages monthly, defaulting to duplex cuts paper use to about 1,000 sheets, saving two reams every month. Duplex copying also runs at up to 18 copies per minute. Court bundles, tender documents, and annual reports become thinner and cheaper to bind.
Can several computers share the M236sdn over one network?
Yes. The M236sdn carries a Fast Ethernet 10/100Base-TX port, so it connects to an office switch or router by cable and serves every computer on that network. A single Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port handles direct connection to one machine when needed. Cable networking stays stable in buildings where Wi-Fi signal drops between floors, which is common in older Nairobi CBD offices. Windows, macOS, and Linux computers install the driver from hp.com or 123.hp.com.
Does the HP LaserJet MFP M236sdn have Wi-Fi?
No. The M236sdn is the wired model in this range, carrying Ethernet and USB only. The letters in the model name matter here: sdn covers scan, duplex, and network, while the M236sdw variant adds wireless. If your office needs wireless, tell our team at Mascom International and we will confirm current stock of the wireless version. Many offices prefer the wired unit because a cabled connection removes password resets and signal drops from daily work.
Which toner does the M236sdn use and how many pages does it produce?
The M236sdn takes HP 136A black toner, part number W1360A, rated near 1,150 pages, or the higher-yield HP 136X, part number W1360X, rated near 2,600 pages. An office printing 500 pages a month gets roughly five months from one 136X cartridge. Mascom International stocks both yields. The cartridge shipped in the box is a starter rated around 700 pages, so plan to buy a full cartridge within the first two months.
Can the M236sdn scan and copy multi-page documents without lifting the lid?
Yes. A 40-sheet automatic document feeder sits on top of the M236sdn, pulling pages through one after another for scanning or copying. Scanning runs at up to 19 pages per minute in black and white and 10 pages per minute in colour. The feeder handles sheets from 148 by 210 millimetres up to 216 by 356 millimetres, covering A5 through legal size. Note that it scans one side only, so double-sided originals need manual turning.
Does the M236sdn work with phones and Macs?
Yes. Apple AirPrint lets iPhone and iPad users print directly once the M236sdn sits on the same network, with no driver installation. Android phones print through Mopria certification, and the HP app adds scanning to email, Google Drive, or Dropbox from a handset. On computers, the M236sdn supports Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, macOS Mojave through Sequoia, and Linux. Scans save as PDF, JPEG, TIF, BMP, or PNG for sharing over WhatsApp or email.
How does the M236sdn handle Kenya's power supply and running costs?
The M236sdn draws 453 watts while printing, 3.3 watts in ready mode, and 0.6 watts asleep, so idle consumption stays low between jobs. HP Auto-On/Auto-Off technology powers the unit down after inactivity and wakes it when a job arrives. Laser hardware also survives long idle spells better than inkjet, since there is no liquid to dry out during a quiet week. Mascom International recommends connecting the M236sdn through a surge protector or UPS against KPLC fluctuations.
