HP 1320 Laser Printer: description, features, features

For all the time of its existence, the technology of dry electrographic printing (popularly known as laser print) has not undergone any significant changes, although it will soon be exchanged for the fourth decade. But the manufacturer can not help upgrading the equipment, otherwise it will not survive the harsh market laws.

That is why the manufacturers, having created a reliable design of printing, have concentrated their attention on the design and universalization of devices. A vivid example of this developer's behavior is the HP 1320 laser printer - a modest workaholic that will become a reliable assistant in any office.

Design

The HP LaserJet 1320 series of printers appeared on the market 12 years ago, and, despite its impressive experience, successfully competes with modern models. To say that the appearance of the equipment dazzles with its splendor, it will be wrong. However, it will perfectly fit into the interior of most office buildings.

In its design, the color predominates. Of black plastic, only a paper tray, top and some elements on the back surface are made. The main advantage of the device is its compactness. Unlike other models in 2005, the HP 1320 printer is pulled up. The decision to increase the height allowed to make it already - now the device occupies no more places than a box from under the women's boots.

Characteristics

HP Laser Printer 1320 is designed to work in a small office. Due to its small dimensions (350x256x355 mm) it is easily placed on the desktop. The printer connects seamlessly to personal computers running Windows, Linux, Mac OS, at least 64 megabytes of RAM. Much more power is available in modern smartphones, not to mention the PC.

There is no task that the HP 1320 printer can not handle. The characteristics of the models of this line will satisfy the needs of many medium and small enterprises. In this you can see for yourself:

• The feed speed of the first page is 8 seconds;
• Productivity - up to 21 ppm;
• RAM - 16 megabytes (144 MB maximum);
• The recommended load is 10,000 pages per month;
• Capacity of the feed tray is 250 sheets;
• Used formats - А4, А5, В6, envelopes in the sizes from 216х356 mm to 76х127 mm;
• Power consumption - 345 watts in active mode, 8 watts while waiting;
• The maximum resolution is 1200x1200 dots per inch.

The level of noise produced by the device is less than 48 dBA. It's 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 of 2500 and 6000 pages, respectively.

Printer Features

It should be emphasized once again that the 1320 series printer has several modifications. There are no significant differences between them. Comparative characteristics of the models you can learn from the table. It is more important to tell about the functional features of the specimens. First, it's a toner save mode. If you enable this option, the HP Laser Printer 1320 will be able to print 30% more documents, thereby increasing the life of the cartridge. Secondly, it is the ability to connect to an external print server, which allows you to add the printer as a device to the company's local network. Thirdly, this is the PowerSave mode, which simultaneously saves electricity and allows you to start working without heating up.

As a functional feature, you can select and duplex - a module of two-sided printing, as well as several ports, including for connecting to a laptop. To connect to a PC, you can use several connectors. It is recommended that you select the LPT slot if you want multiple computers to be able to use the HP 1320 simultaneously. The instruction will tell you other nuances of the connection.

Cartridges and printing technology

Cartridges are made in a monolithic case in two versions: Q5949A and Q5949X. They differ only in the work resource. An important feature is the possibility of refueling in specialized companies, which significantly reduces costs. The main advantage of the elements is a uniform distribution of the toner over the entire width of the sheet. A feature of the printing technology can be called fast heating of the photocell. The introduction of modern protective technologies has allowed to reduce the level of ozonation of air during operation - the need to allocate a separate room to the device has disappeared. The implemented technology of fast fixing of toner instantly returns the HP 1320 printer to the energy-saving mode.
