Taking the HP LaserJet 2420 printer for what it is means one will be taking on a good Hewlett-Packard monochrome laser printer of high print speed and excellent print quality provided by HP LaserJet 2420 toner. That it comes at a low price, relatively speaking when considering all its features, is a bit surprising. But the 2420 offers much to like and very little to dislike when it comes to sizing it up.
Generally speaking, the LaserJet 2420 occupies a niche that can make it a nice candidate for the office workhorse printer within a workgroup or network or even as a stand alone printer within many a small office environment. It handles just about all of its print jobs with ease and it can print out 30 pages or more of high-quality product, which is sure to please anyone who purchases this laser printer.
Additionally, the HP 2420 also delivers a very nice end product, meaning that the quality of the printed material will be excellent across the board. With a 1,200 x 1,200 dots-per-inch print resolution, there’ll be little complaint from any users or from the people who end up having to read or view anything printed by this device. HP is justifiably known for its print resolution, by the way.
Much of this quality of printing is owed to the fact that Hewlett-Packard always attempts to include a specific image enhancement technology tool embedded within the printer software. It’s complemented by — in this case — a 400 MHz microprocessor that will help to keep the 32 MB of RAM cooking nicely and serving up healthy doses of print product when it’s needed and how it’s needed.
It’s easy enough to connect this machine to a new or already-established workgroup through either of its two wired connection capabilities. The LaserJet 2420 comes standard with a nice high speed USB connection port and a more-traditional (and older) parallel port. Keep in mind that the printer doesn’t come with a USB cable, so stop over at the next aisle and grab one on the way out of the store.
In terms of what the LaserJet 2420 can print out on, it’s the case that just about any sort of paper stock or media type including transparencies, envelopes, bond paper or even recycled paper can be ran through the machine. Many other printers can’t make this claim, as well as being unable to claim that they can hold up to 350 sheets of paper on board. You will find that 250 of those sheets fit into a single auto load input tray, by the way.
The LaserJet 2420 is certified to run on Windows Vista, and it can make use of various other Windows platforms and Mac OS 9.X or later and 10.X or later. It’ll be a very easy printer to join to most any platform, in other words. Really, it will do fine on Windows 98 and later, so there should be little concern about the operating system currently being run.
In all, and for a price of about 500 dollars retail (before discounts), getting a workgroup laser printer of such high-speed printing capability (30 ppm) and with a rated monthly duty cycle of 75,000 pages, it’s hard to find much to quibble over when it comes to the HP LaserJet 2420 printer. For those looking for a personal printer that can print out at high speed, this may also be the printer to consider as well.
The HP LaserJet 2420 printer toner will meet the needs of even the most demanding professional. Quality is a standard with HP printer toner cartridge and smart users know that the better the cartridge, the better their presentation will be.
