When you are starting your home business it will be important to get the right printer for your new venture.  One that will meet your special needs and requirements. There are a few quick tips when selecting an HP LaserJet 6mp printer using HP LaserJet 6mp toner that may save you money and meet all of your printing needs.

Most people really don’t think about how much they will be using their equipment. Think about how much you actually will use a fax machine, scanner, copy machine and printer. Most people buy a four in one printer because they want to have all of these pieces of equipment handy in one machine.

While this is a good idea if they are not going to get a lot of use and can be extremely affordable, the long term costs can quickly eat up any savings that you made on the initial purchase. The toner cartridge in four in one printers is very small and there is normally a color cartridge and a black and white cartridge. These toner cartridges are extremely expensive if the machine is being used on a regular basis.

If you are on a budget, it will often be much more cost effective to purchase a four in one for its fax, copy and scanning ability and a real printer that has a standard size toner cartridge for your printing needs. This is especially effective because the printer you get will be a black and white LaserJet printer that has many features you will need and, if you need to print something in color, you will have a printer available to take care of this on an occasional basis.

When you are starting up your business, you will have a greater need for a reliable and sturdy black and white printer.  One that has the capability to print on different weights of paper, is energy efficient, and has the features and options that are often found on larger, more expensive machines.

The printer must have expansion slots, as well as ports, so that you can print documents more easily. The LaserJet printer comes with 3 MB RAM which will accommodate most printing needs. However, if you are going to be printing a lot of documents, you will want to expand the memory to the 35 MB maximum RAM so your printing tasks can run in the background without disrupting you when you are working on the computer.

Most small multi-purpose printers have gravity fed paper slots that do not hold over 80 sheets of paper and are prone to getting jammed if you are working in a humid area. The single project LaserJet printer has two paper trays that are protected by the printer. The lower tray holds 250 sheets of paper and the upper tray holds 100 sheets of paper. Many people find it very convenient to put legal size paper in the upper tray for those documents that must be printed on the larger paper.

When you are comparing printers, it will be important to review the warranty and service agreement that accompanies the printer. In most cases a service agreement is available that will extend for three years and cover maintenance, repair, and parts for the printer during the service agreement life. This is extremely convenient for a person who is going to be using their printer regularly and who will want to be able to get immediate assistance when repair is needed. The HP LaserJet 6mp printer provides all of the features and options that a person will want when they are looking for a small black and white printer that will be a great stepping stone for their business start-up.

The HP LaserJet 6mp toner performs at peak level, producing sharp and clear prints, exactly as one would expect with premier HP toner.  Great toner is essential in making a lasting impression.
