Some Good Reasons To Buy The HP 1022 Printer

November 27th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

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 HP LaserJet 1022 toners. This attractive office addition is perfect for reports or graphs, and is compact enough to fit all but the smallest work areas.

While laser printers are not the glamorous newcomers they once were, they are still recognized as the first choice for small businesses. This HP offering is a very good value for its output and performance. Visually, it measures a tidy 14.6 X 14.3 X 9.5 in, and weighs in at a little more than 12 lb. Because this workhorse utilizes laser technology, it has the capacity to print entire pages at once, and there is no wait for the ink to dry.

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.

Print speed ranks well with others in the same classification at 19 ppm. Small font reproduction is crisp and clear, and is comparable to more expensive laser copies. The LaserJet 1022 standard toner cartridge covers nearly 2000 pages, and users opting for the higher yield HP 1022 toner cartridges will save even more. The monthly page volume is rated at 8000 copies, adequate for many small operations.

This device is versatile, and its 1200 X 1200 dpi can accurately and attractively reproduce any graphics. If you need to print on non-standard sized media, it will accept everything from a small 3 X 5″ card size up to 8.5 X 14″. The paper input capacity consists of one priority input tray and one standard tray, with a capacity of 260 sheets. It supports manual duplex printing, and will accept envelopes, labels, card stock, post cards and transparencies as well as regular 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.

USB 2.0 makes connection simple, and wireless networking is available under an upgrade called the HP LaserJet 1022nw, which also includes isharp HP LaserJet toner. Operating noises are a little louder than some printers, especially when the paper tray becomes empty, but is not enough of a problem to noticeably detract from overall utility and economic HP LaserJet 1022 toners. The small dimensions, ease of setup and use all combine to make this an attractive printer option. For the small business or student requiring accuracy and low cost reproduction, the HP LaserJet 1022 Printer is a good choice.
