subject: The Hp 1022 Laserjet Printer - A Useful Device For Students And Offices [print this page] Is your office in need of a laser printer that can efficiently and economically process daily work? Or are you in school, and need inexpensive and reliable high quality black-and-white reproduction? The HP LaserJet 1022 Printer can fill these needs and more. It is an attractive and smartly designed machine that is small enough to squeeze into cramped dorm rooms or small offices, and its quality 1022 replacement toner produce high-speed reproduction of graphs or reports.
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.
They are also masters of printing fine details, an important factor for many applications. Some inkjet printers can achieve nearly the same clarity, but take longer and use more ink. When used in a setting that does not demand color printing, this device excels at printing line graphics and text. Its higher speed and lower cost of operation are important considerations for most offices.
Actual print speed is up to 19 ppm, a good rating compared to other printers in the same class. When tested with small font reproduction, the LaserJet 1022 was able to hold its own with more expensive laser reproduction. A standard HP printer toner cartridge will yield about 2000 pages, and the higher yield HP 1022 cartridges can keep cost per page at a very low level. With an average usage of 8000 copies per month, it can adequately serve a small office of less than five people.
Standard 1200 X 1200 dpi will clearly and crisply reproduce any graphics. The machine is versatile, and if printing is necessary on non-standard media it will accept any size from small 3 X 5" cards, up to larger paper dimensions of 8.5 X 14". There is one included normal paper tray, and one priority input tray. Total capacity is 260 sheets, and it supports manual duplex operations, in addition to labels, card stock, post cards, envelopes, and transparencies.
Since cost-cutting is part of every nearly office's budget review, energy use is one area that often needs trimming. This device's standby mode consumes only two watts. Running consumption is around 300 watts, a figure somewhat below average for similarly priced printers. Its memory is host based, meaning that it relies on the resources of the computers within its own network.
Because of this configuration, it has a non-upgradable 8MB RAM, with a fully capable 266MHz processor. The font library can be enlarged if necessary via a down-loadable driver, and software installation is easy with the included CD. Print quality is adjustable to fit the job, and watermarks may be customized. Two-sided copies are possible manually, needing to be turned over after an entire job has completed one side.
