HP LaserJet 3055 Printer: Multi-Function Black And White Machine
The multifunction HP LaserJet 3055 printer using LaserJet 3055 compatible toners is one of several such all-in-one printers in the Hewlett-Packard universe. They’re designed to save a small office or home office entrepreneur quite a bit of money, considering the fact that they combine a fax machine, a copy machine, a scanner and a printer into one compact unit that does everything well and nothing poorly. The 3055 is no exception to this fact.
In terms of where the 3055 fits on the price scale for an all-in-one, it lists for about $600, which is a few hundred dollars more than other Hewlett-Packard multifunction printers. This printer, however, delivers better quality and faster printing, along with other functions. It is a black and white, or monochrome, printer and it is also fairly durable, as multi-functions go.
Print speed that comes with the 3055 is an excellent 19 pages per minute, which is something not often seen in a multifunction or all-in-one unit such as this. Having the ability to print out a copy from a laser printer at nearly 20 pages per minute with the HP LaserJet toner can also help speed along the work processes and print jobs within any office, especially something entrepreneurial in nature, by the way.
The quality of the print product that will emerge from the 3055 is excellent across the board. It has a print resolution capability of about 1,200 dpi, which is more than enough to please most anyone who needs a high quality print job produced in a short amount of time. The onboard copier produces product at about 600 dpi, which is par for the course when it comes to copy machines.
Storage capacity, as far as paper on board, is a fine 250 sheets. All of this paper will be fed into the machine via a single auto load input tray. The separate output tray can hold 100 sheets of printed or copied material. Copy product also emerges at about 19 pages per minute, showing that Hewlett-Packard has paid attention to not only the print needs, but the copy needs of prospective customers.
As far as how well this HP model does and its subsidiary functions (scanning, faxing and copying), one would have to say that it does well indeed. The fax machine includes a nice 33.6 kb per second internal fax modem and its memory can hold up to 110 pages of fax or received product. It even works well as a scanner, including 600 dpi optical resolution.
When it comes time to connect the 3055 to a computer, one has a choice of either a high-speed USB port or a separate Ethernet 10/100 port. There are several different operating systems that this model can run off of, as well. This includes many different Windows operating platforms as well as Linux and Apple Mac OS X 10.3 and later systems. It is, in short, a fairly versatile operator for the home office or small office.
The 3055 may not be the kind of all-in-one or multifunction printer for everybody, because it does cost slightly more than other Hewlett-Packard all-in-one’s. But for the price (which currently is running about $600), the HP LaserJet 3055 printer will deliver completely on all that it promises, and will be a durable multifunction printer, as well. It has a monthly duty cycle of 7,000 pages per month. It’s compact and light in weight. Indeed, it looks like the 3055 is an ideal candidate for many an entrepreneur.
The HP 3055 toners is another part of this model you’ll love. Performing at peak levels is what HP toner does. Saving money is an important part of any business and ordering toner cartridge online will do that for your office.
