subject: Hewlett-packard's 3800 Color Laserjet Printer - A High-capacity Product For The Office [print this page] Could your workplace benefit from having a fully-optioned laser printer that is capable of handling all your print jobs in color that can keep up with the growing and changing needs of your business? If so, then choosing an HP Color LaserJet 3800 Printer may be a wise move. Much more than simply a modified home device, this office workhorse has excellent memory, nimble processors and can finish up to 22 pages per minute. Excellent reproduction means sharp images and brighter HP 3800dn toner.
Lasers have the advantage when it comes to print quality. These machines excel in the areas of speed, economy and precision because the light moves across the page with rapidity and accuracy, eliminating blurring and unwanted lines. It is true that some printers are initially more expensive than inkjet models but over time, they cost less to operate. Because they use HP Color LaserJet ink and toner, constant expensive ink cartridge replacement is eliminated. They are ideal for typical office applications such as long text documents.
Other advantages include whisper quiet operation, something important in an office where constant interruptions need to be avoided. The print head moves silently during operation and is able to reproduce the finest resolution without creating a distraction. Workplace users will appreciate its capacity to handle many kinds of paper without distortion or smudging. This product is durable and has earned a reputation for reliability.
Network traffic backups are rare when the LaserJet 3800 is part of a system. Excelling at large print jobs, it has full network capability and standard management and administrative software tools can help boost productivity while making cost management easier. Employees will appreciate the fact that these devices are user-friendly and operational problems are rare. Designed for heavy volume jobs, these machines can work all day every day without breaking down or requiring an expert to keep them on line.
In addition to high volume production, these machines are admirably suited for everyday business needs such as letters, cover sheets and similar everyday output. The cost per page is lower than that of a comparable inkjet device. This model has an initial low tasking time of 12.5 seconds for the first page, faster than some other laser printers with similar specifications. Print is available both black and white or color and can handle a typical office output of 65,000 pages per month.
A 533 MHz chip controls this device and is agile enough to handle most requests. Printed pages are crisp and clear with a 600X500 dpi resolution. If duplex printing on both sides of a page is needed, it can be done in a single pass on pages up to standard legal size. The processor can quickly and easily translate a large document into printable form.
Memory is 96 MB of RAM, not excessive by today's standards but adequate for most needs. If greater processing strength is needed, memory can be upgraded to 544 MB which is usually totally sufficient for a small to medium-sized work group. Standard paper handling capacity consists of a total of three paper trays with a combined total of 850 sheets. Connectivity is via USB and this device is compatible with a variety of environments, including PC, Mac and Linux.
