The Reasonably Priced And Never-failing Hp Laserjet 3015 Printer

The HP LaserJet 3015 printer is a multifunctional device that can print

, copy, scan and fax documents. This all-in-one device and corresponding HP Q2612A cartridge has a very reasonable price at $199. In this article, we will be looking into the features and functions of the 3015 printer together with its competitors.

Printing speed is very important, especially if it is in an office environment. It is able to print 16 pages in a minute, which is perfect for a small office. It has a duty cycle of 7000 pages a month which is the average usage for around 2 or 3 three people. It takes up approximately 16.8 by 18.5 inches and weights only 20.9 lbs. Its size and weight makes it a great device for tight places.

This device utilizes a vertical feed scanner which is basically the same with the other multi-purpose devices available in the market today. Even though scanning bounded pages in books and magazines can be a challenge, this makes the printer less expensive compared to some other devices of its type. The printer's bottom tray can hold arounfd 150 sheets of paper. You can also combine it with heavy paper stock and room for some envelopes.

The topmost part of this device can be opened for the exposure of the image drum or HP 3015 printer toner. Each of the toner cartridge costs up to $70 and can also print 2000 pages. This signifies that every page can cost you 3.5 cents while some other laser printers under its class can cost around 2 cents per page, but you can find cheaper compatible laser toner cartridges at online retailers.

As for its connectivity, it uses a USB 2.0 port and a parallel port. For its faxing capability, it uses a telephone jack that can be plugged into it readily. The control panel is clear cut and simple to use. Each of the buttons is segregated according to its function. It is equipped with a two-line Liquid Crystal Display that has arrows on its side for the menus.

The HP LaserJet 3015 printer has 32 MB memory that is able to store 250 monochrome fax pages. It also has an HTML viewer that can monitor the printer's status remotely from the PC. This feature makes it easy to add numbers to the printer's phonebook.

Printing at a rate of 12.4 pages per minute for text, this makes it very competitive against other laser printers in its class. As for graphics, it is clocked at around 9.8 pages per minute. This print is actually faster than what HP claims. However, the printing quality was pretty average. In addition, printing graphics resulted to some inconsistent density. Overall, the text quality was clear and sharp but graphic printing could be better.

Scanning color images resulted in some inconsistency. We even tried scanning a monochrome image, but it still came out washed out. This is problem is very common among multi-functional devices, since the manufacturer is trying squeeze all the functions in a very compact device. The quality is good for every day use, just do not use it for detail oriented scanning.
