Over the entire period of its existence, the technology of dry electrographic printing (popularly referred to as laser printing) has not undergone significant changes, although it will soon change its fourth decade. But the manufacturer cannot but be engaged in the modernization of equipment, otherwise it will not withstand the harsh market laws.
That is why manufacturers, having created a reliable print design, have focused on the design and universalization of devices. A striking example of this behavior of developers is the HP 1320 laser printer - a modest hard worker who will become reliable helpers in any office.
Design
The HP LaserJet 1320 series of printers appeared on the market 12 years ago, and despite its impressive track record, it successfully competes with modern models. To say that the appearance of the equipment dazzles with its magnificence will be wrong. However, it will fit perfectly into the interior of most office spaces.
Its design is dominated by gray. Only plastic paper tray, top and some elements on the back surface are made of black plastic. The main advantage of the device is compactness. Unlike other 2005 models, the HP 1320 printer is pulled up. The decision to increase the height allowed to make it already - now the device takes up no more space than a box from under women's boots.
Characteristics
The HP 1320 Series Laser Printer is designed to work in a small office. Due to its small dimensions (350x256x355 mm), it easily fits on your desktop. The printer can connect to personal computers with operating systems Windows, Linux, Mac OS, RAM at least 64 megabytes without any problems. Modern smartphones have much more power, not to mention a PC.
There is no such task that the HP 1320 printer could not handle. The characteristics of the models in this line will satisfy the needs of many medium and small enterprises. You can verify this yourself:
- first page feed speed - 8 seconds;
- productivity - up to 21 p./min;
- RAM - 16 megabytes (144 MB maximum);
- recommended load - 10 thousand pages per month;
- feed tray capacity - 250 sheets;
- used formats - A4, A5, B6, envelopes with sizes from 216x356 mm to 76x127 mm;
- power consumption - 345 W in active mode, 8 W during standby;
- The maximum resolution is 1200x1200 dpi.
The noise level produced by the device is less than 48 dBA. This is a little louder than a normal human whisper. The HP 1320 printer weighs 10 kg, is equipped with Q5949A and Q5949X cartridges with a resource on 2500 and 6000 pages respectively.
Printer features
It must be emphasized once again that the 1320 series printer has several modifications. There are no significant differences between them. You can study the comparative characteristics of the models in the table. It is more important to talk about the functional features of the instances. The first is the toner save mode. If you enable this option, the HP 1320 laser printer will be able to print 30% more documents, thereby increasing the cartridge life.
Secondly, it is the ability to connect to an external print server, which allows you to add a printer as a device to the local network of the company. Thirdly, this is PowerSave mode, which simultaneously saves energy and allows you to start working without warming up.
As functional features, one can distinguish duplex - a two-sided printing module, as well as several ports, including for connecting to a laptop. You can use several connectors to connect to a PC. It is recommended to choose an LPT slot if you want several computers to be able to use the HP 1320 printer at the same time. The instructions will tell you other connection details.
Cartridges and printing technology
Cartridges are made in a monolithic case in two versions: Q5949A and Q5949X. They differ only in work resource. An important feature is the ability to refuel in specialized companies, which significantly reduces costs. The main advantage of the elements is the uniform distribution of toner over the entire width of the sheet.
A feature of printing technology can be called a quick heating of the photocell. The introduction of modern protective technologies has allowed to reduce the level of air ozonation during operation - the need to allocate a separate room for the device has disappeared. Implemented technology for fast fusing toner instantly returns the HP 1320 printer to energy-saving mode.
