Improving drastically in print speed over its predecessor, the HP LaserJet 1200, HP’s next in the series of monochrome printing devices, the HP LaserJet 1300 is a full five pages per minute faster. The 1300 also improves memory, and adds wireless networkability for an easy setup with an office network and, other than that, has most of the same powerful hardware that the 1200 had.
As a black and white laser printer in an affordable price bracket, the HP LaserJet 1300′s advertised 20 pages per minute places it with some of the better printer models as far as speed. On top of this, HP is known for having actual speed statistics that reach reasonably close to what it says on the box.
With a footprint of 16.3 inches (W) by 19.1 inches (D), the HP LaserJet 1300 is actually quite large for a printer of its caliber. This is mainly because of the fact that its paper tray protrudes from the front of the unit, as opposed to being tucked underneath the printer. Its height is very manageable, however, at only 9.5 inches, and its weight of 19 pounds is perfectly acceptable.
The HP LaserJet 1300 comes equipped with both USB and Parallel ports, and is certified for Windows Vista, as well as other Windows and Mac operating systems. Its maximum resolution is very high for a black and white printer, running at up to 1200 x 1200 dots per inch. HP also enhances the image resolution of the printer via HP FastRes 1200 technology for more accuracy and quality.
A powerful Motorola ColdFire 133 MHz processor comes standard with the hardware to ensure speedy delivery of large print jobs, and 16 MBs of standard RAM should also be plenty for most light to medium end jobs, but if more memory is required, the HP LaserJet 1300 includes an open SDRAM 100 pin DIMM slot for memory expansion up to a total of 80 MBs maximum.
With a maximum monthly duty cycle of 10,000 total pages and a toner cartridge printhead duty cycle of 2,500 pages, the HP LaserJet 1300 can function under heavy usage conditions with minimal maintenance. Paper handling abilities also run high with the unit, with a standard 250 sheet tray expandable with an additional 250 sheets, and an auto loading 10 sheet multimedia slot for odd paper sizes and types such as transparencies, cards, labels, and index cards.
This Energy Star compliant device runs at 320 W when operational, and at a remarkably low 7 W when in sleep or standby modes. HP makes it easy to get started using the product as well, with a software package including HP’s web tool, Web JetAdmin, as well as an easy to use driver and utilities package.
Also included in box is a startup toner cartridge, and HP’s comprehensive warranty and replacement package that includes a year of web and internet based technical support, as well as a limited exchange policy, meaning with the HP LaserJet 1300 printer, HP keeps you in safe hands.
