February 3rd, 2010 | Uncategorized

Take a few minutes to size up the HP LaserJet 3380 printer using HP LaserJet 3380 toner. Once you have done so, you will be pleased with what it can do. It is a monochrome all-in-one machine, meaning that it not only prints, but also faxes, scans and copies almost any document. This versatility is bound to be attractive to almost any small office or home office-based business on a budget.

In the industry, and among printer experts, the 3380 is renowned for its ease of use and all of its included features and capabilities. These are complemented by a low retail price and cost of maintenance and operation. Most any business that doesn’t require any color printing will be sure to give it serious consideration, and it actually matches up very well against most other printers made by any number of manufacturers.

Looked at with a cool eye, one is presented with a monochrome print machine that also is capable of producing as a digital copier. This means it uses laser jet cartridges to print and then delivers copies making use of digital technologies. At 20 ppm of print speed, which is fairly speedy for an all-in-one machine, it will also stand out from other all-in-one machines made by other manufacturers.

The 3380 delivers 1,200 dpi print resolution capability and it can be connected to a PC by its standard parallel or high-speed USB port. It is also able to connect with most Windows operating systems as well as Mac, Linux and UNIX platforms. For business running on Windows NT, there’ll be no need to look for separate printers, because this one runs on that platform as well.

When acting as a copier, the 3380 has a nice monthly maximum duty cycle of about 10,000 impressions. In truth, that should be more than enough for most any home office or small office-based business. As a scanner, the 3380 scans all documents in at 600 dpi and has color depths of 24-bit and black-and-white of 8-bit, which are fairly standard for most any all-in-one scanner.

There isn’t much to complain about either, when the 3380 is tasked to work as a fax machine. For starters, it comes with a 33.6 kb per second modem, which should be more than enough to get most documents to where they need to go quickly and easily. It has a 250 page storage bank, memory-wise, and it can print out documents faxed to it at 20 pages per minute, as well. It’s also able to send out faxes from a PC, which means that the 3380 is very versatile.

Internal storage capacity, paper-wise, is a fine 250 sheets. Media sizes that can be accommodated are also fairly wide and varied. There is a bypass feeder capability of about 10 sheets and output trays can hold 125 sheets, all of which mean that it can serve as a fairly robust platform upon which a small business can base all of its office machine uses.

The HP LaserJet 3380 printer is normally priced at around $480 before any retail discounts. Used and refurbished models have been found for under $150, and certain high-volume discount online outlets have been selling the machine for about $280. It is, in all, a very versatile all-in-one printer/fax/copier/scanner, and it comes with legendary Hewlett-Packard reliability. In short, there’s a lot to like about the 3380.

There’s a good bit to like about the HP LaserJet 3380 printer toner cartridge also, as it’s fairly well known that HP toner cartridge is a top performer. You’ll add to the value of this printer when ordering compatible toner at competitive prices.
