subject: Learn More About The Hewlett-packard 3600 Laserjet Color Printer [print this page] A laser printer that's easy to operate yet delivers quality performance: that's what the HP Color LaserJet 3600 Printer is all about. Because it has a compact designing, it can be placed on a desktop, making it ideal for a small-scale office. When it comes to productivity, your needs can be met by the available high-speed processor and upgradeable input tray. Additionally, it has a new kind of HP Color LaserJet 3600 cartridge within, so professional-looking prints can be achieved.
A 360-MHz fast processor is responsible for this machine's fast output capabilities. It's capable of delivering 17 pages per minute for both black and white and colored prints. And it's fast enough to have the first page out in less than 14 seconds, again for both black and white and colored tasks. This performance pace, however, still depends on factors such as print quality selected, and the document size and contents.
A maximum of 600 x 600 dots per inch resolution can be churned out. With such, obtaining well-detailed and vibrantly colored prints is easy. Speaking of colored prints, there's a new kind of toner HP has developed for the unit, and it's called the ColorSphere toner. It allows for the available range of color to be more extensive, plus it enables colors to come out much brighter. For maximum results, HP recommends the use of its own paper with 5 layers of coating.
One more good attribute of the 3600 is the easy maintenance, most especially true when it comes to cartridge replacement. It's because now there are only 4 of them, making replacement an easier task. However, there's more to that. Now integrated into common units are the HP printer toner cartridges and imaging drum. With the imaging system replaced completely each time, a more consistent printing performance can be achieved.
From the box, there are 2 available standard trays. However, the input capacity of this laser printer can be upgraded to as much as 850 sheets. This can be done through the attachment of an optional input tray. What's more, an optional duplexer may also be used, for two-sided printing. It also relies on your desktop computer for document processing prior to printing; this, thanks to the host-based technology it features.
Anywhere from legal, letter, executive, to envelopes are compatible media sizes. A multipurpose tray allows you to input media with dimensions of 3 inches x 3 inches to as big as 8.5 inches x 14 inches. There are also several different media types supported. Such include transparencies, card stock, labels, paper (bond, plain, rough, glossy, recycled, colored, etc) and others.
Other than featuring breezy operation and maintenance, this HP item is also hassle-free to install. Plug it in, press a few buttons, and the printer installs itself automatically. As with other printers ideal for a small workplace, it has a couple of connectivity options. They are via a high speed USB 2.0 dock and Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX connectivity. Through them, it's easy to hook up this laser printer to a PC or a small network structure.
