A black and white laser printer suited for home and office use is the HP LaserJet 1100 Printer w/ HP LaserJet 1100 printer toner cartridges. It can handle a variety of media types and dimensions. There are printing technologies developed and added in here by Hewlett Packard to let you come up with professional-looking printouts. What's more, there are also features that allow you to achieve low cost per print, especially now that economizing is important.
Powering it up is the Motorola 35 MHz Cold Fire processor that lets the unit come up with 8 black-and-white documents (letter) per minute. It comes pre-installed with a 2 MB RAM, which can be upgraded to a max of 18 MB for dealing with more complicated tasks in the future. This is possible thanks to the dual in-line memory module, or DIMM, slot integrated into the printer's body. This slot is compatible with 4 MB, 8 MB or 16 MB memory module.
As much as 120 sheets can be handled by the auto document feeder. Weight of media that the input tray can support is up to 20 lb. Compatible media dimensions range anywhere from letter, legal, A4, executive and custom sizes (3 in x 5 in to 8.5 in x 14 in). Plain paper, coated, transparencies, card stocks, index cards, labels and envelopes are media types handled. Com-10, monarch, international DL, international C5 and international B5 are compatible envelope sizes.
There's a print resolution of 600 dpi x 600 dpi (dots per inch). This is sufficient to provide the needs of an office or a home for documents with text and graphics. Enabling you to achieve photorealistic printouts of grayscale photographs is Hewlett Packard's own Image REt, or Image Resolution Enhancing technology. In addition, the innovative UltraPrecise toner cartridge allows for crisp details and readable text each and every time.
With the cost of everything rising, including office supplies, it's important to make the most out of every print. Fortunately, there are certain features Hewlett Packard has integrated into the 1100 monochrome laser to lower the cost per print. Manual duplexing allows you to print on both sides to save on paper. Switch on the EconoMode to achieve printouts that use as much as 50 percent less toner. Such feature is very handy for printing drafts.
Enabling you to place several different pages onto a single sheet of paper is the N-up printing. Select how many pages you wish to print, and the unit will automatically resize and arrange them on one sheet of paper. Hewlett Packard has set the printer's monthly duty cycle at 7000 pages. By sticking to this suggested maximum volume per month, optimum printer and cartridge performance can be expected.
The white enclosure measures 14.5 in (width) x 12.8 in (depth) x 14.9 in (height) making it suitable to be placed on a desktop. With the toner cartridge installed, it has a 16.1 lb weight. Printer language used is HP's PCL 5e, and there are scalable typefaces amounting to 26 in all. It's also capable of printing booklets, as well as creating watermarks. For example, sensitive office documents may have the word "confidential" on them.
The HP LaserJet 1100 Printer connects easily to a computer by means of the IEEE 1248 high-speed bi-directional parallel port. It's flexible enough to handle a variety of media types and it carries with it some impressive printing technologies, like its industry leading HP LaserJet 1100 toner cartridge. That's why this black-and-white laser printer is ideal for use at home or in a small office. This device also comes equipped with high capacity HP ink and toner, which delivers sharp results for a longer time than comparable toner brands.
