The HP LaserJet 1022N Printer is considered a monochrome machine, which means that it uses only black and white HP1022N toner. It’s ideal for both home and office use as it can easily connect to a computer or LAN. An assortment of media types and dimensions can be handled by this unit. And with the Instant-On feature, it only takes 8 seconds to print the first page. While other units are just warming up, this Hewlett Packard offering has already completed your task.

It has a compact body which measures 14.6″ (width) x 14.3″ (depth) x 9.5″ (height) so it has a small footprint. With such measurement, it can be placed on just about any space available, including your desktop. Also, it tips the scale at 12.1 lb only. Inside it is a 266-MHz processor and an 8-MB RAM. Although there’s no memory expansion slot, it’s fast enough to yield 19 ppm (pages per minute).

A max of 1200 x 1200 dpi (dots per inch) black and white printouts can be churned out by the 1022N laser printer. Such resolution is sufficient to produce high-quality documents, whether text-based or with images. Enabling you to meet productivity requirements is the impressive input media handling capacity of up to 260 sheets. This, thanks to the 10-sheet priority input tray and a 250-sheet standard input tray available.

Several different media types and dimensions can be handled efficiently by this flexible machine. It can print on regular paper, photographic paper, cardstock, vellum, transparencies, envelopes, postcards and labels. When it comes to media dimensions, it can work on sizes ranging from 3″ x 5″ to a maximum of 8.5″ x 14″. Duplex or two-sided printing is done manually, and the unit comes with a driver support.

Two standard connectivity interfaces are integrated into this machine. One is the high speed USB 2.0 for hassle-free connection to the USB port of a computer. The other is an RJ-45 Ethernet 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX port for use within a LAN. Then there are also some other optional connectivity features available. They are the Jetdirect external print server and the bt1300 wireless printer adapter.

Making sure you get to enjoy black and white printouts with professional quality is the Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) thrown in by Hewlett Packard. Such allows for producing of crisp and clean output without slowing done the machine’s performance. A total of 26 scalable fonts are built into it, as well as a PCL 5E printer language simulation. The cartridge features the Ultraprecise toner which paves the way for optimum printing reliability when used with recommended HP products.

Maximum number of printouts is at 8000 pages per month. This rating, set by the manufacturer itself, is due to certain specifications. They include media handling capacity and replacement of cartridge. Adhering to this set duty cycle monthly results in the best possible performance by the unit. Otherwise, use of supplies is increased and consumables have to be replaced more often.

If your tasks require the use of black and white HP toners only, having this unit is a good investment. It’s flexible enough to work on different media types and dimensions, plus it boasts of a speedy performance for meeting light to moderate output demands.
