HP LaserJet 3020 Printer Is A Must Have
Ranked #22,400 in Computers & Electronics, #426,682 overall
What a consumer needs to know concerning the HP LaserJet 3020 printer using the HP Q2612A print cartridge can be summed up by reviewing its specifications. Things to consider when looking for a printer include pages per minute, storage capacity, internal memory, print resolution, connectivity, and of course the cost. Perhaps the biggest thing to consider when deciding which printer to what tasks will the printer be required to perform. A home-based printer will not have the same requirements as a printer which will be used for small or large businesses.
Demand The Best
The maximum copying speed of the HP LaserJet 3020 replacement toner is 14 pages per minute. A maximum speed of 14 pages per minute for black and white printing is on the lower end of the speed scale for this series of printers. The higher end is about 22 pages per minute for black and white printing and 17 pages per minute for color printing.
The 3020 uses parallel connection ports, as well as USB 2.0 (high speed USB). Most small business or home based users will find this more than adequate. Ultra high speed connections (such as Ethernet and Base-T) may be required for larger businesses with heavier workloads, but USB 2.0 is pretty fast (about 480 Mbps) and practically all computers on the market today come with USB 2.0 ports already installed.
Storage capacity is another point to consider when reviewing printer specifications. This describes the number of sheets the printer can hold and is also called the "document feeder capacity". The document feeder capacity for the HP 3020 is 50 sheets. Depending on the job at hand, this may or may not prevent frequent reloading, but this is fairly standard for a printer of this size and cost.
The printing resolution of this HP offering is 1,200 x 1,200 dpi (dots per inch) and the optical resolution for scanning is 600 x 600 dpi. A printer resolution of 1,200 x 1,200 dpi is adequate for most small business needs. Optical scanners with resolutions of up to 2,400 x 4,800 dpi are available, however, for those who need higher resolution scans.
Consumers in the market for a new printer will typically pay more for a printer with more memory capacity. The HP 3020 does not support removable or flash memory disks, but it does have an internal memory of 32 MB. A maximum supported memory capacity of 32 MB is typical for a printer at this price level, but many boast 64 MB RAM (random access memory) as a performance feature.
Supported media types for the HP 3020 include cards, labels, envelopes, plain paper, and transparencies. This makes it fairly versatile and useful for many home and small business users. The included software makes handling these media types fairly simple and straightforward. Many small businesses require a printer that can print labels and envelopes, as well as plain paper.
The fact that this is a monochrome printer (does not print color) certainly limits its uses for certain business environments, but the cost (about $230) and its versatility as a printer, scanner, and copier are points which shouldn't be overlooked by the average home or small business user. The copying speed, print resolution, and storage capacity of the HP LaserJet 3020 printer are all fairly standard for a small business machine of this type.
Those who require mainly black and white printing will love the clear and crisp nature of the prints produced by the HP LaserJet print cartridge 12A. Replacement HP 3020 toner can be purchased at many local stores; however, shopping online for printer cartridge toners may produce more cost-effective prices.
