There are a lot of laser printers in the market, but many people look for business laser printers which can provide all their printing needs for their businesses. If you're one of these individuals who have their own personal businesses or affiliations where you need to print readable media for advertisements and professional use, there is one model of laser printer that you should definitely check out - the HP CM2320NF Color LaserJet All-in-One Printer. This in-depth review will cover everything you need to know about this model.
Design
This is a color laser all in one printer that offers printing, copying, scanning, and faxing functions. This makes the device extremely functional and excellent for business use. If you have a printing business, or if you need to produce brochures, labels, and other readable media for your business or profession, then this is the perfect model for you. Also, although it is quite expensive, many other models with the same price don't offer as much features as this model. It has a very conventional laser printer all in one appearance, and it's very big and bulky. It has the dimensions of 19.6'' x 19.4'' x 21.7'' and a weight of 65 pounds. You have to make good room for it, and you definitely can't move it often because it's very heavy, so you have to settle it in a single location where it's perfectly accessible and it doesn't become an obstruction.
It has a nice light gray body with dark gray sides and bottom. The control panel has many buttons which make operation easier because every button has a task that it is labeled with for better operation. All the operations for faxing, scanning, and copying can be easily accessed on the device itself, so anyone can use them anytime. The 2.4'' CGD display is also prop-up so you can easily read and see the details of the operation, whether it's printing, scanning, copying, or faxing.
One of the features that it does not have is the accessibility for memory cards, but there are many other ways to print files from memory cards, so it would not be much of a problem. What other buyers would probably not like about this device is its expensive original ink, which you can only buy from HP directly. The cost of the ink may be very expensive, but the quality of printing definitely makes up for it.
Printing and Other Functions
As a printer, this device can excellently produce output. The speed of printing can reach up to 21 pages per minute for both black and colored documents. The maximum resolution that you can get from both colored and black printouts is 600x600 dpi. The device doesn't feature automatic duplex printing, but it has manual support provided so you can still use it when you need it. The printer memory is 160 MB, a big number which can allow you to print several documents in one setting, or a very long and complex document, such as a book, in a single print. The copier has a speed of 20 copies per minute and you can reproduce your documents up to 99 copies in a single setting. You can also reduce and enlarge the documents you copy from as small as 25% to as big as 400%.
The scanner has a scan speed of 15 pages per minute for black documents and 11.7 pages per minute for color documents. There are two scanning input methods - the flatbed and the ADF. The flatbed can scan a maximum document size of 8.5'' x 11.7'' and the ADF can scan a maximum size of 8.5'' x 14''. The optical scanned input can produce a resolution of 1200 dpi, and the enhanced scanning function can produce a resolution of up to 19200 dpi.
The fax machine can transmit as fast as 3 seconds per page, and the resolution of faxed documents is 203x196 dpi. The fax memory has a capacity of 250 pages incoming and the speed dials of the fax can save up to 120 numbers. A lot of business laser printers may have all in one features, but they definitely can't match this device.
Other Features
The device has wired networking capability so you can share the all in one device with several other computers within the same network. There are three paper trays that this printer has - the first is a 50-sheet multipurpose tray, the second is a 250-sheet input tray, and the third is a 50-sheet ADF. The duty cycle of the printer can reach up to 40,000 pages, so you can print at an average of 1290 pages daily and you won't have problems about it. The biggest lack of this device is that it's not Energy Star qualified, and you won't be able to save energy from this device. But for its excellent features and high quality performance, it's definitely worth it.
Conclusion
Many business owners look for business laser printers for producing their readable media and advertising materials, but quality is one of the most important considerations in buying such a device. I highly recommend the HP CM2320NF Color LaserJet All-in-One Printer for all those who need an excellent all in one device that's great in performance, excellent in its operations, and worth every penny for its price.
