by erin on October 21, 2010

A monochrome type of laser printer, the HP LaserJet 2300 Printer has enough room for expandability to keep up with high output demands. It has a fast processor and high quality HP 2300L toner for coming up with fast and professional-looking printouts. Interfaces present make it ideal for use with a single computer, in a business setting, as well as in a small network of computers.

There’s a 266 MHz processor within its core, able to yield 25 ppm (page per minute) in monochrome, using best quality mode. An impressive 64 MB memory installed upon the unit’s purchase can be further expanded to a staggering 304 MB. Such is possible with the total of 3 available DIMM slots (100 pins) fitted onto its design.

A resolution of 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi (dots per inch) makes it possible to achieve clean, crisp and readable printouts. Ensuring texts and graphics are rendered in the best quality, Hewlett Packard has added some innovations for enhancing the output. Such include the HP FastRes 1200 and the HP ProRes 1200. Additionally, there’s the Ultraprecise toner within the print cartridge. With the use of HP recommended supplies, one can depend on the unit’s performance each and every time.

The 2300 can handle printing tasks on a variety of media types and dimensions. It’s compatible to work on bond paper, recycled, glossy, cardstocks, transparencies, envelopes and labels. Media dimensions include letter, legal, executive and custom sizes ranging from 3 in x 5 in to as large as 8.5 in x 14 in. If a 250-sheet input tray and another 100-sheet priority feed isn’t enough for your demands, fret not. An optional tray can increase the media handling capacity to 850 sheets.

Using this monochrome laser unit with a single computer or a network of such is easy with the 2 integrated connectivity options. First, there’s the USB 1.1 port for installation on a single computer. Second, there’s the IEEE 1284 EPP/ECP parallel port for hassle-free hookup to a workgroup. There are also other interfaces (optional) which make operation even easier. Such includes LocalTalk connectivity, HP JetDirect print servers, and others.

Efficient use of energy is insured as the 2300 comes with a powersave feature. With the Instant-On innovation, the first monochrome page is already out in just 10 seconds as warm up time is reduced. PostScript 3, PCL 6 and PCL 5E are the printer language emulations used. For hassle-free management of its supplies, there’s a fully-integrated web server which can help in minimizing operator intervention.

The unit boasts of a body which measures 16.2″ x 17.7″ x 10.2″ (width x depth x height) and has a 31.3 lb weight. There’s an LCD screen (two-liner) found on the front panel which puts on view the menus, status, and others. The duty cycle is set by Hewlett Packard at 50000 pages in a month. With an available internet connection, maintenance and troubleshooting can be done efficiently through online means.

A duplex unit and HP toner comes with this device. This monochrome laser printer carries with it features that make it ideal for use in varying environments – business, office or small network. With room for memory, connectivity and media handling expansion, meeting productivity demands is trouble-free.
