HP Multifunction Laser Printer: A Review of the HP CM2320fxi Color LaserJet Printer
Running a printing business means you need a reliable laser printer to produce excellent quality output. An HP multifunction laser printer would be a perfect choice for such purchase, and one of the best models which you can get for your home business is the HP CM2320fxi Color LaserJet Printer. This review will cover everything you need to know about this device.
Design
This device has the appearance of a big and bulky laser all in one device, and it’s quite conventional with the top paper feeder and output tray as well as a big body. It has a white front face and gray sides which make it simple and easy to match in any home décor or office setting. Its dimensions are 19.6’’ x 19.4’’ x 25.6’’ and it weighs 71.2 pounds, very big and heavy. You have to make room for it when you buy it, and you also have to make sure that you don’t put it in a crowded place where it would become and obstruction or you wouldn’t be able to operate it comfortably.
It has a wired network capability so you can share it with other computers, may it be in a household or in an office. However, one of the biggest flaws of this model is that it is incapable of operating some of its functions without using a computer, especially the networking accessibility. Even though it is on and it’s wired to a network, you can’t use it to share files unless you access it with a PC.
Still, you can print, copy, scan, and fax without a PC as long as it doesn’t require a network. Printing from different types of memory cards is easy using the memory cards slots and the 2.4’’ CGD display that serves as the screen for operating and navigating the printing operation. The different buttons are optimized for every function and labeled accordingly to allow the user to access the different functions of the device easily.
Printing and Other Functions
As an HP multifunction laser printer, this model can truly deliver high quality printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. You won’t have problems with your documentation in your home business or office. As a printer, it is designed to perform with high quality. For both colored and black documents, it can deliver up to 21 pages per minute or roughly 2.85 seconds per page, and it can also print to a maximum resolution of 600x600 dpi. It also features automatic duplex printing which is an advantage for many business that print brochures and flyers back to back.
The copier of this device can produce the same resolution output as the printer, and it can also produce a maximum of 99 copies in a single setting. You can reduce the size of your documents to as small as 25% and you can enlarge them to as big as 400%.
