The entry-level solution is a printer based on the HP 2035 laser printing method. This is indicated by its rather modest technical characteristics and cost. It is this budget decision that will be considered in detail in the proposed material.
What part of the printing market is this device targeting?
As noted earlier, the HP 2035 printer is positioned by the manufacturer as an entry-level product. It has a small print resource for 30 days, low cost and average print quality. As a result, it will be most optimally used in the following cases:
- At home (if the quality requirements for documentation are mediocre and there is no need for color printing).
- In a small office with the number of jobs no more than 5-7.
- In a similar working group.
In these three cases, the resource of this laser solution will be quite sufficient to satisfy the need for printing completely and completely. Also, in combination with multifunction devices of the middle and even premium class, this printer can be used already in all other cases, for example, in a large office or copy center.
Equipment
Very modest, even by the standards of the budget segment of the market for printing devices, the equipment from the HP 2035. It includes the following:
- A printer.
- Initial cartridge.
- Disk with software and documentation.
- Quick start guide.
- Power cable.
- Warranty card.
In the above list, there are 2 significant drawbacks. One of them is the lack of an interface cable in the original configuration. In some cases, sellers specially understaff the basic package with such an important accessory. If it is not there, then it will have to be purchased separately. The second important drawback of the original configuration is that a full-fledged setup and operating manual is available only in electronic form on a CD. But its paper version is essentially a brief brochure, which is not enough to fully customize this solution.
Paper
The largest sheet format for the HP LaserJet 2035 is A4, which is 297 mm long and 210 mm wide. Also in the list of supported formats is his "younger brothers" - A5 and A6. The developer did not forget to supplement this list of C5 and B5. In an extreme case, the drivers can specify an arbitrary media size, but its size should not exceed the maximum possible A4. The density of the paper should be between 60 and 163 g / m 2 . If you use media with a lower or higher density value, you may break the sheet feed system or scroll. The maximum print resolution in this case is 1200X1200.
There is also a draft mode in which speed is increased and toner consumption is reduced. In this case, documents are printed in resolution 600X600. In the first case, it will be most optimal to print charts and various pictures, and in the second mode, text.
Performance, print resource per month
The strength of the HP 2035 is speed. It takes only 10 seconds to warm up this printer from sleep. To get the first print, you will need to wait another 8 seconds. After that, the page output speed for this printer will be fixed at 30 sheets per minute. The maximum print resource for 30 days is set by the manufacturer at a value of 25,000 pages.
Drivers, connection methods
HP LaserJet 2035 boasts support for the most common operating systems today. The manufacturer has included Windows (including the latest versions of this operating system, both 32-bit and 64-bit modifications) and MacOS on this list. ". But this printer will not be able to interact with the Linux or UNIX system software for the reason that the manufacturer did not provide drivers for digging.
An expanded list of interfaces is equipped with the HP 2035. The manufacturer included USB and LPT in it. It is optimal to use the first one in conjunction with this printer for the reason that it provides 10-15 percent higher performance due to the increased data transfer speed.
Cartridge
Only one cartridge model can be installed in the HP 2035 - this is the HP05A with the Black prefix. In the initial state, this cartridge can print up to 2000 pages. In the future, after refueling, its resource will increase to 2300 sheets. It is only refueled with black toner and can only print in monochromatic mode.
Installation, connection and setup procedure
The following manipulations must be performed in order to start using the HP LJ 2035 for its intended purpose :
- And we take the printer and other components of its delivery out of the box.
- Install the peripheral device next to the computer.
- We connect the interface wire to the computer and the printer, and the power cable - to the outlet and to the printer.
- Install the software disk into the drive and install drivers from it.
- At the end we print the test sheet.
Reviews, cost
The HP LaserJet 2035 printer, according to user reviews, has the following strengths:
- Just a huge print resource for a month.
- High speed and exactly the same quality.
- An expanded set of connection methods.
- Easy to configure and use for its intended purpose.

- Lack of support for some fairly common operating systems.
Summary
One of the best representatives of the budget class based on the laser method is the HP 2035 . It is perfect for organizing the printing subsystem at home, in a small office or a small workgroup.
