subject: The Streamlined And Efficient Hewlett Packard Laserjet 1022 Printer [print this page] Are you in the market for a printer able to handle most small office or student needs? Do you demand reliable, inexpensive and high quality reproduction in black and white? If these are among your requirements, consider the HP LaserJet 1022 Printer and its celebrated LaserJet 1022 compatible toner. This attractive office addition is perfect for reports or graphs, and is compact enough to fit all but the smallest work areas.
Laser printers have been around for several years now, and do not enjoy the same mystique they once had. They are, however, still recognized as the first choice for small businesses, and this device is an excellent value in that category. Weighing in at a little more than 12 lbs, it measures 14.6 X 14.3 X 9.5 inches, small enough to fit into cramped corners. Laser printers have the ability to reproduce an entire page almost instantly, and there is no waiting around for the ink to dry, creating fewer problems with smudging.
Fine detail printing is one area in which the 1022 excels. Some inkjet printers are able to achieve nearly the same clarity, but are not as fast, and often end up using more ink cartridges. Many office or student jobs heavy on text or line graphics are perfect for this laser model, and the HP 1022 can cut monthly cartridge expenses when compared to inkjet devices.
This model compares favorably to others in the same class when it comes to print speed, which measures up to 19 ppm. Small font reproduction is easily visible, with sharply defined edges and high clarity overall. While standard toner cartridges have a total production of around 2000 pages, higher yield HP LaserJet bulk toner are available for even greater cost-cutting advantages. A small office of less than five persons will be adequately served by an average rate of 8000 copies per month.
A 1200 X 1200 dpi output accurately reproduces print and graphics. It will accept non-standard media, from a 3 X 5 card size up to 8.5 X 14" paper. Paper input includes a standard tray, and one priority input tray. Duplex printing is manual, with the capacity to print on labels, card stock, post cards, envelopes and transparencies, as well as various qualities of standard-sized paper.
Energy use remains an important factor for offices trying to control costs. When in standby mode, it is consuming only two watts, one of the lower ratings in its class. While operational it requires about 300 watts, still below the average power use ratings for similarly priced models. The HP 1022 is host-based, meaning that it relies on your computer's power rather than its own massive memory.
Because of this, it is equipped with a non-upgradable 8MB of RAM. If desired, users can download a driver giving the 1022 LaserJet a larger font library. Its processor is a nimble 266MHz, and software installation is a breeze with the included CD. Watermarks can be customized and the print quality can be adjusted to suit the job.
