HP LaserJet M1319f 4 in 1 device for small businesses


Overview
HP LaserJet M1319f is a 4 in one device that is able to satisfy all the needs of any small to medium sized business. It is perfect for any office environment because it can be used as fax, scanner, monochrome laser printer and copier in the same time. It has 32 MB of memory, 1200 x 1200 dots per inch printing resolution and a printing speed of 18 pages per minute.
Pros
It is relatively compact because its dimensions are 14 x 10.5 inches. 
Because of the HP’s fuser on technology, HP LaserJet M1319f starts printing in less than 8.5 seconds. There are a lot of printing devices with a much higher warm up time.
The fax modem has 33.6 Kbps speed, so the pages can be transmitted with 20 pages per minute speed. Also, the fax memory is able to keep up to 500 pages in its memory.
It is a multifunctional device. It can be used as a monochrome laser printer, scanner, copier and fax. 
The native printing resolution is 600 x 600 dpi, but it can reach 1200 x 1200 dots per inch printing resolution, by simply using its software. At a resolution which is so high, the texts are very sharp and the graphics look very well.  
It comes with 32 MB of memory, which is quite impressive. The printing speed is 18 pages per minute and it can hold up to 250 sheets in the paper tray. Also, it comes with a multi purpose paper tray for transparencies, envelopes and many other things. The multipurpose tray is able to hold 10 sheets.
Cons
The lack of two sided printing and scanning could be one of the major disadvantages of HP LaserJet M1319f. When you are using two sided printing feature, you save money, time, the carbon foot print is reduced drastically and you reduce the paper waste. In other words, you are using the printing device in a very eco friendly way.
Another con would be that you cannot scan directly on the glass platen. It means that you need to remove the pages of a magazine or something like that in order to scan it. This thing could be very frustrated because most users cannot afford to remove the pages of a book or magazine to scan it. 
Also, the lack of Post Script print emulation could be another very big disadvantage that one should take into account.

Ricoh Aficio MP C4500a

The Ricoh Aficio MP-C4500a is another device is a series of releases from the manufacturing giant of over the past few years. This is a relatively inexpensive monochrome multifunction that performs well in all tests, and is well worth considering when looking for a workhorse device. It can duplex print, scan, and copy all from one chassis and does them all well.

The printer would suit a small to medium business with a medium-duty workgroup. It isn’t built to serve larger organizations, but excels in its own area. Functionality is the mainstay of this machine, and where its true strength lies. It can print good quality mono pages at a decent rate at 600dpi, scan from USB stick, it supports Windows and Mac and the copying isn’t bad either. Text and image printing are both good, with text being detailed and clear all the way down to 4pt. Charts were also well reproduced, grayscale was even and accurate, which is ideal for office use.

The MP-C4500a comes with a pair of 500 sheet paper trays, with the option of increasing that to much more with an extra tray or two. Toner cartridges are easily replaceable after they have served their 23000 page life. They are reasonably priced too at an around $59 each. This brings the cost per page down much lower than many of the other leading manufacturers. The large paper capacity and high toner yield is what makes the MP-C4500a such a good prospect. It can pretty much left to its own devices and be left to churn out document after document without having to worry about it. This is worth its weight in gold in the modern, busy office.

The control panel is straightforward with well-sized buttons and a clear blue LCD screen. The menu system is intuitive with commands easy to find.

The print, copy and scan qualities are excellent. Prints and scans are around 25 pages per minute according to Ricoh. Scans are an impressive 4 sheets a minute. Copy speed is one of the most impressive in its class, with monochrome copies coming out at 35 pages per minute.

The MP-C4500a is a solid performer. Ideal for the small to medium business who wants a good quality, high yield multifunction printer at a decent price. Consumables are reasonable and the printer won’t cost a fortune to run. Overall, this is a solid performer and well worth considering for the busy office.

Gestetner 2212

I had never heard of Gestetner until I started researching printers and copiers for my business. I had always stuck to HP because they had a reputation for quality. They were becoming a little expensive from my usual vendor which is why I began looking around. I saw the 2212 in the showroom and liked it instantly. It isn’t the prettiest machine in the world but it looks solid and is built to last.

Having read reviews of it, and saw it in action I decided to buy it. The vendor installed and connected it all up, so I don’t know how easy it is to do, but the engineer didn’t seem to be here long. I bought the model with the optional automatic document feeder, duplexer and 50 sheet bypass tray. There is quite an array of options to choose from, which took quite a while as some where ‘nice to haves’ while others were essential.

I needed the 2212 mainly as a copier, but it was nice to have the option of network printing, scanning and faxing too. I didn’t bother with the fax, but the other two I ordered.

Printing and copying are what we do most of and the 2212 doesn’t let us down. It prints at 22 pages a minute and keeps on going until paper or toner runs out. The print quality is excellent, much better than our old machine. Text really stands out while images look well done without any of the dark spots we used to get. We don’t need color which is why we went grayscale. The engine makes the different shades of images accurate to a color original which is about all you can ask of it.

The paper drawers and document handlers are good for all sorts of media. The 2212 came with a pair 500 sheet paper drawers, with the option of buying 2 more. The document finisher is an option which I didn’t go for, but that sits on the left of the machine and widens the footprint considerably.

The control panel is a marvel. It’s larger than anything I have seen before and includes a full QWERTY keyboard. It’s touch screen so the buttons surrounding it seem a little redundant. The screen is bright and easy to read, no much squinting required.

I like the Gestetner 2212. It does everything the users ask of it and it hasn’t broken down yet. The toner is cheap and lasts for 11000 pages, while the drum will last 60000. It is built to last, is well engineered and makes the users more productive. An ideal purchase in my mind.

Savin 8016

I sell Savin products because they are quality goods. Most people haven’t heard of them, but when they use the devices for a while they don’t try anything else. The Savin 8016 is a classic as far as the range goes. It is a mono laser printer, scanner, copier and fax all in one.

It’s aimed squarely at the small business with a modest demand each month. The standard 600 dpi printing is of excellent quality, and the fact that you can have them at 21 pages per minute just adds to the benefits of owning one of these.

Print quality is great, both for images and text. The print engine is very accurate in converting color to grayscale without banding or bleeding. You could print a brochure, photograph, poster, or whatever with the Savin 8016 and never worry about the print quality.

We generally install these for clients, but if you wanted to do it yourself it’s easy. Out of the packaging it’s just a matter of installing the toner, connecting it up and installing drivers. Connection can be via USB, parallel, network, wireless or even Bluetooth. This offers a lot of freedom for any office. If you choose the wireless or Bluetooth options, they take a couple of extra minutes to configure, but won’t offer any problems to set up.

All of the functions can be accessed from in front of the machine or over the network if you have it connected. It comes with a friendly web interface that allows you to control access to facilities, keep an eye on paper and toner levels and all the other maintenance tasks a busy office has to contend with.

If it’s networked the Savin 8016 can fax and scan over the network, print, broadcast incoming faxes to desktops and all the other features you would expect from an industry leader.

Ease of use is continued with the simple control panel, very readable LCD screen and many automatic functions, that take the admin out of administration. The automatic duplex printer also allows either money saving or further features by being able to print or copy double sided.

The Savin 8016 is an excellent choice for any discerning business in the market for a multifunction. They are popular because they are good, no more needs to be said I think.

Most of the fax features are especially designed to provide ease of use. In that respect a few main benefits include the 12 speed dials, 100 coded dials, memory back up of 255 pages and printing in the required order as well as others. We don’t fax much anymore, but when we do Canon make sure it’s as easy as can be.

The laser print engine offers black and white, as well as color prints. Its digital copier has the advanced feature to reduce and enlarge to 50%, 64%, 78%, 129% and 200%. This copier also zooms from 50% to 200% from 1% increments. Its copy features include toner saver mode and memory collate, for the ease of its users.

In standby mode, this machine is quite silent, however when in use it produces a slight noise which is not very audible. When it warms up, its noise increases for a while but is soon back to its quiet self.

Overall this unit is a great addition to any office or small business.

HP DeskJet 6940

When I was setting up my new business, my first concern was to buy my staff reliable printers so that our work seemed professional and of the highest quality. I therefore relied on the world famous brand and bought the HP DeskJet 6940.

I wanted to purchase something that worked well, fulfilled our work limit and at the same time could be available at reasonable cost so that I could buy as many as I thought would be needed. This printer fit the bill of all my needs and requirements for the office use and therefore I bought about 6 of them.

It has been a 6 months now that we have been using these printers and I think that they are working well. This quite affordable printer has a fast speed and can print about 36 pages per minute. It therefore can easily plow through our workload without holding us up.

It also features Bluetooth and PictBridge compatibility which shows the advanced technology it offers. It has an automatic duplexing feature which saves time and energy. Its tray sheet can be extended up to 150 sheets at a time. It even includes wired Ethernet printing and direct photo printing. The quality and speed of photo printing is fabulous. It provides great quality prints in no time at all. Its refills are easily available at cost effective rates and thus it is not a difficult task to have them refilled. The refills are available in different sizes and capacity to hold the color inks.

One thing I admire it for is its ability to stay silent unlike the other printers I have come across. This printer is completely silent not only at its standby mode but also while functioning. It does not even become noisy when it is continuously operated for some time. It has a great speed without any noise therefore it’s great for office environments without disturbing the ambiance.

Its appearance is impressive and its small stature easily fits on any sized desks. It not only occupies a little space on the desk but also gives it an attractive look with its elegant appearance. Overall, this is a great machine, it keeps the work flowing and my people busy. It was easy to buy, and to run so I’m happy.

OkiData C5150n

Oki is a name synonymous with office equipment. It is no surprise the company is a dominant force in the marketplace. The equipment it produces is of the highest quality with no major concessions. The build quality has been consistently good throughout the range as has been print quality. The C5150n continues the good work.

The C5150n is a desktop printer that extends the firms reach in the market. It is a color laser printer built for the small or home office or workgroup. While it can handle a hefty duty cycle, it isn’t really built for heavy use. The design is functional but comfortable, the construction solid.

It performs well too. The C5150n produces monochrome prints at a rate of 20 page per minute and color at 12 pages per minute. While not the fastest on the market, it is plenty fast enough for its target group.

The print quality is very good as we have come to expect from Oki. It delivers even on fonts down to 3pt, at the standard resoltuion of 600 dpi. Monochrome reproduction is the real strength of the C5150n. It is much happier printing monochrome prints and standard documents all day long. That is taking nothing away from the color reproduction of course.

It can be connected via USB or via network as the n in C5150n indicates. An added feature is the opional wireless adapter that can be added to allow true wireless printing. There is also the optional duplexer for double sided printing. Not essential, but useful as an optional upgrade.

The paper drawer is at the bottom fron of the machine and can handle up to 300 sheets. There is also a 100 sheet multi-purpose drawer above it that can either be used for envelopes and other non standard materials, or in addition to the 300, to take it’s total capacity to 400.

Replacement toner is plentiful and most online retailers stock them. Black toner can print approximately 15000 pages, and the color ones around 5000 before needing replacement.

Overall, the Oki C5150n is a good, value for money desktop printer. It is ideally placed to fulfill the needs of the small business or home office. It’s capable enough to cope with almost anything, and at a reasonable price offers good value for money to consumers.

Brother DCP 8065DN

This modern style multifunctional laser printer has been of a great use for me. I am a freelance writer, as well as a student, and was looking for something one size fits all. I was glad to find the Brother DCP-8065DN as it offers all the functions that I require for my university assignments as well as for my freelance job.

This modern printer has an extended number of useful features like a color scanner and digital copier. Its flatbed design looks okay and the best thing I discovered about this machine is that it is really fast. Speed is everything to me as I always seem to be behind. It can also copy, scan or print two sides of a single document through its automatic feeder. Per minute, it can print up to 30 laser copies, which is really something when I’m in a hurry. I live in a dorm so I can also easily connect it to my friend’s printer as it offers the unique function of sharing prints at high speed. It only weighs about 35 pounds so I can easily move it to my friend’s room or mine if I need to.

Although it has not yet shown any problems, even if it did I don’t have to worry about it as it comes with a three year warranty and a toll free technical support number which is helpful for a new user like me.

It has some superb functions as well as being quite conservative with the toner and ink usage, which means long-term economy. It has its own memory of 32 MB, which is plenty enough for my needs, however this can be extended according to your needs up to 544 MB.

Emulation uses PCL6 and BR Script-3, which makes it compatible between machines, and the USB and Ethernet interface is very easy to configure. Its scanning capability includes color scanning, thus it is easier for me now to make my assignments and project papers a bit more interesting. The copy sizes can also be reduced or enlarged from 25% to 400% which is more than enough for my needs.

Overall the DCP-8065DN is a good piece of technology. My needs are modest but it hasn’t let me down once. That’s all I need really.
