HP LaserJet 1200 Printer: More Suitable For Your Office Needs
Ranked #72,006 in Computers & Electronics, #1,115,736 overall
The HP LaserJet 1200 printer and its capabilities seem to point to the fact that Hewlett-Packard has intended this monochrome laser printer using HP 1200 toners to be ready for relatively high-speed printing jobs in a small office or home office environment. It provides good print speed, is compatible with Mac computers (which many HP printers aren't) and even has a scanner attachment as optional equipment.
Fire Up Your Printing With The HP 1200
In truth, it's evident that the 1200 printer is probably more suited to personal laser printing duties rather than as part of a networked workgroup. It also is offered to a prospective customer at what has to be an excellent price, especially when considering that the printer can kick out 15 pages per minute of product using the HP replacement toner. It's not the fastest in the world, but it also isn't the slowest. For those on a limited budget, this HP model could be perfect.
When it comes to print quality, Hewlett-Packard continues to do good work, striking a balance between cost and quality print. This printer from the world's largest printer manufacturer is equipped with 1,200 dots per inch print resolution capability, which is not normally available at this spot in the market. Indeed, most printers going for what the 1,200 goes for usually features 600 dpi.
When it comes to memory, or RAM, this HP printer features a standard 8 MB that can be upgraded to 64 MB with little trouble. For a small office or home office, this should be more than enough to meet most any need. Start with 8 MB and assess whether or not the need to upgrade further will be needed, either now or in the future. It will all be controlled by a 90 MHz microprocessor, which is also okay.
This particular Hewlett-Packard printer is slightly more versatile in terms of connectivity, then many of its peers in this market segment, featuring as it does both USB and parallel port connection capabilities. Most printers at this price point feature either one or the other but not both, and it's usually the case that it wouldn't feature parallel port functionality as a matter of course.
The printer is also fairly durable, with a solid 10,000 pages per month of maximum duty cycle on hand. This means the printer is rated to be able to image up to 10,000 sheets per month before requiring regular maintenance. Hewlett-Packard says it recommends between 3,000 and 5,000 pages as standard when it comes to operations capabilities, although it doesn't say that one can't go with the higher number.
This HP model can also handle a variety of different media stock, including transparencies, cards, labels and plain paper of many different sizes. It has an auto load paper tray capable of holding up to 250 sheets of paper and a custom manual load slot that can take up to 10 sheets of paper, if needed. This is a desktop model, so 250 sheets is excellent, quite frankly.
When it comes to price, the HP LaserJet 1200 printer really impresses, going for somewhere between $95 and $120 from several online websites. HP also keeps a variety of printer drivers handy at its own website, along with the full customer manual as well. The LaserJet 1200 will deliver good print speed and excellent durability for the money, meaning that there is really not much to complain about when it comes to this printer.
The only real ongoing expense with this printer is replacement of HP 1200 ink and toner. Finding HP replacement toners at local stores won't give the same great prices as ordering remanufactured toner online and saving money really is a bottom line for a business.
