HP LaserJet 1020

I bought the HP LaserJet 1020 after reading reviews about it on a couple of websites. I always research my purchases, especially as cost doesnt always mean quality. I like to learn from others misfortunes before committing time and money to something.

I must admit I was glad I bought this, and not some of the others out there. Its small and quite easy to set up and the quality of the prints is excellent. It comes with a starter cartridge which lasts for around 1000 sheets of normal printing. A replacement only costs $30 and will last another 2000, or a high yield for $37 will last 3000 sheets.

I use this printer for personal stuff and have found it ideal. It is only black and white, but I dont need to print color. It connects to my computer by USB and is controlled completely from there. It has to be because there are no buttons or controls on the printer itself. It is pretty much a blank box, paper goes in one end and the print comes out the other. Any fiddling with settings or cancelling of print jobs has to come from the printer control panel on the pc, which isnt a problem for home users, but might be for an office.

The prints themselves are good. I mainly print code, or text and every single sheet I print looks clear and bright. I occasionally print an image or photograph and they come out okay too. The grays make the picture look old fashioned which adds extra appeal. It marks the color differences well, with a different shade of gray for each different color.

The LaserJet 1020 prints at something like 14 pages a minute, although I rarely print that many. The other good thing about it is that is warms up almost immediately, which is a nice bonus for us impatient users. It still takes a few seconds to warm once it has been powered down, but if you use standby its ready almost instantly.

This is a great black and white printer, ideal for the home or home office user. Its easy to put together, to install and to run. The prints are as good as youre likely to need and it wont let you down.

HP LaserJet 1100

The HP LaserJet 1100 is supplied with a mere 2Mb of internal memory as standard. We upgraded ours to have 8Mb. The more memory a printer has the quicker it can handle print data. It also has a 35Mhz Motorola processor.

The printer has a standard resolution of 600 dpi which is a perfectly decent resolution for a printer, especially a laser. It’s capable of 8 pages per minute and our experience is that it actually achieves that too. The printer can be connected using a parallel port or as is more commonly the case with a workgroup, network using the Ethernet adapter.

The paper tray can handle a total of 125 sheets, so while this has network capabilities, it might feel more at home as a single user or SOHO printer. I imagine larger workgroups might end up being a bit much for it after a while, especially with only 8Mb of memory.

We are such SOHO users, so can vouch for its capability as that. There are only three of us on our network and have yet to give the 1100 pause. We aren’t great printers, but there are times, especially when a deadline looms that things get a bit frenetic and we’re all trying to get our individual parts of a project done at once.

Print quality is second to none, even with only 600 dpi to work with. It doesn’t matter so much to a laser than to an inkjet. In our experience, coverage is much more even, precise and quicker than with ink. Photos and images are much better with an inkjet, but seem a bit more expensive to print. Our requirements are predominantly textual, so it matters little to us.

The LaserJet 1100 prints text well, whatever the size. We are journalists so we use standard fonts, MLA formatting and only the odd image, as the editor adds those himself. Test in Times New Roman is pretty standard, you can’t really go wrong with it, but when we print something non-work related, it handles other fonts and points very well indeed.

The HP LaserJet 1100 is a good old workhorse printer. While marketed at a workgroup, I’m not sure its suited to one larger than ours. It works well, prints well and has given us no trouble since we owned it.

HP LaserJet 4700

Yet another addition to the world of HPs printers is this color laser jet printer with greater flexibility and ease of operations. After its purchase our primary concern was the ease of use. Being such an elaborately defined chassis for multipurpose printing options, the HP LaserJet 4700 was a bit intimidating to handle at first. However it did not take long to familiarize with this user friendly machine.

The HP LaserJet 4700 has proven a true work place companion and has added to the ease of our business operations. This powerful printer has taken our workgroup printing to the next level through greater perfection and the excellent quality of the print outs. The initial hesitation being a new user was primarily for quality of visuals included in the document. However as the first color image slid out of the output slot it was pure joy to see how realistic it looked and how smooth it appeared. Even the paper was crisp and straight which was pure bliss. Since then this printer has not failed to surpass our professional scrutiny.

Time has always been an issue at our workplace so the next challenge this HP LaserJet 4700 was subject to was speedy output. Through employing the latest technology, the very first page that came out of this printer after the data was entered took not more than 10 seconds. Its expandable memory allows taking approximately 33 colored or monochrome prints per minute with a color balance that is better than that produced by many similar products. It also has an automatic system for duplex printing, a USB and an EIO slot for more convenient use.

In the workplace, the HP LaserJet 4700 has been able to serve multiple users for a long time. However it is important to monitor it and refill its 100 sheet multipurpose tray regularly to continue the process without any slowdowns. Although it is slightly expensive compared to many other printers, for us it has proven to be a pretty good investment that has never failed to produce a pleasing print.

After the initial installation of software and drivers, and connecting HP LaserJet 4700 to the computer system, all we had to do was click the print button to produce great quality, vibrant black and white as well as color prints of pictures, diagrams and texts every time we needed to. Its toners last a while, and it has given consistent and reliable performance so far.

How to Clean Scanner Mirrors on HP3330

This is not an Hewlett Packard document, the author does not work for
Hewlett Packard and is not responsible for any damage you do to your
printer. This procedure is for skilled repair technicians and is not
recommended without some knowledge of equipment repair. Proceed at your
own risk.

1. Open the document feeder and pull up on the two black tabs on the left and right.
2. Pull up on the right part of the doc feeder then the left, remove doc feeder, set aside.
3. Open front door and rear fuser door.
4. Remove screws closest to teal colored fuser release levers. (side cover screws)
5. Pull right cover out from back while releasing clip on bottom of cover, pull cover towards the back and remove.
6. Push on indentation at back of left cover and pull out at back, this cover is hinged.
7. Remove four screws now visible at base of scanner assy., two on left two on right.
8. Slide covers towards back and remove.
9.
Remove two screws in the back just above the fuser and just below the
scanner assy. base. Remove two screws in the front, visible now after
removing the scanner assy. base covers on the right and left (the left
one is just behind the hinged cover near the top hinge.)
10. Remove flat ribbon cable (on left side) at either connection point to disconnect scanner assy. from print engine.
11. Entire scanner assembly can now be slid forward and removed.
12. Close the front, rear and left side doors on the print engine portion and set it aside.
13. Grab front panel face plate at top and pull forward and remove. (or pry gently at top of face plate).
14.
At top of exposed front panel you will see four slots in the scanner
assy. At the third one from the left there is a latch (dark grey
plastic). Push down on the latch with a screwdriver and slide the whole
panel assy. to the right. Lift up and out making sure to disconnect the
cable.
15. Remove the three screws in the now exposed dark grey front
panel cradle and cover, remove the two cables connecting the cover to
the main board, pry gently at the top outer corners of the cover and
pull it forward and down, remove the cover.
16. Now remove the four
scanner assy. screws (one and the center front, center back, center
right, center left) all are facing down under the assy. (Or just flip it
upside down and remove the four visible screws.
17. Turn the unit
back upright and remove the four screws at the back/top (two of them are
down inside where the doc feeder normally goes.) Remove the top scanner
cover.
18. DANGER your about to work on the scanner carriage itself
there is a really good chance that you could break it or the mirrors or
bulb so proceed at your own risk.
19. At the top and bottom left side

small screwdriver in the slots and push gently to the right and lift
that side of the cover it should come loose. Then open it to the right

21.
The top mirror is held in by some really tight clips they have to be
removed from the bottom right (clean the mirrors without this step if
possible). NOTE: optical mirrors are not like a bathroom mirror, there
is no glass covering the reflective surface. The back side of the mirror
has glass covering it so if you get it in backwards it won’t work. (The
way to tell which side you have is touch your screwdriver to the mirror
and if it’s the right side the screwdriver will appear to touch the
reflection of the screwdriver, if it’s the wrong side the screwdriver
will not touch the reflection of the screwdriver because of the glass
covering the reflective surface.
22. Now clean the remaining mirrors
and lens very thoroughly with alcohol. Make sure they are very clean.
You can put the top mirror back and clean it in place to make cleaning
it easier.
23. When re-assembling the top cover check to make sure the white strip on the right side is clean.
24. Reverse procedure for re-assembly.
