Hewlett-Packard's 3800 Printer - A Fast Device For The Office

Are you in the market for a new laser printer for the office? Do you need a device that will have no trouble keeping pace with the growth of your business and can handle nearly any job it is given? Consider the HP 3800n Color Printer. Much more than simply a buffed-up home model, this machine has good memory, a fast processor and can spit out 22 pages per minute. Not only is it capable of high volume but produces bright, crisp color images with excellent reproduction quality.

Lasers have an advantage when it comes to printing standards. They excel in the areas of speed, precision and economy because there is no wasted ink as the light moves across a page. While it is true that they can be initially more expensive than inkjet models, they cost less to operate and those savings mount up over time. These printers used toner rather than ink cartridges and refills are less frequent. They thrive on typical office jobs such as lengthy text documents.

In addition, operation is usually very quiet, an important consideration in areas needing to keep interruptions to a minimum. During printing, the light moves quietly, finishing jobs with no annoying rumble or shaking. Frequent users will come to appreciate its paper-handling capacity, producing copies free from smudging or distortion. This product has a reputation for being reliable and durable.

Network slowdowns cause by printing backups will become a thing of the past. The LaserJet 3800's efficiency and speed take advantage of full network capability and it thrives on large print orders. Productivity can be monitored more effectively by using the administrative and management tools that are standard features. In addition, it is user-friendly and requires less supervision and training. This machine can handle large volumes with ease and is able to print steadily and quickly day after day without breaking down.

Volume is not the only area where these devices excel. Letters, cover sheets and office memos and other everyday documents can be produced at a lower cost per page than is possible with some other systems. The model 3800 has a tasking wait time of only 12.5 seconds before the first page begins to print, faster than many comparable printers with similar specifications. It can handle both color and black and white and is easily capable of a typical office print load totaling 65,000 pages per month.

A 533 MHz chip controls this device and is agile enough to handle most requests. Printed pages are crisp and clear with a 600X500 dpi resolution. If duplex printing on both sides of a page is needed, it can be done in a single pass on pages up to standard legal size. The processor can quickly and easily translate a large document into printable form.

Standard memory capacity of 96 MB of RAM is adequate, though not excessive. Memory can be upgraded to 544 MB if greater processing capacity is needed, and that is usually sufficient for a medium-sized office. There are three paper trays for a combined total capacity of 850 sheets. It will work in most environments, including Windows, Mac and Linux, and connectivity is via USB.

This makes the HP toner cartridges an asset for any moderately sized office environment. Service is backed by HP, and this machine is quiet and efficient. If you are thinking of switching to laser printing, this device could be a good choice.
