HP 2400 Printer Review

The HP LaserJet 2400 is a monochrome laser printer designed for the small or medium office environment. It has the quick speeds and expandability that will appeal to the fast-paced office expecting future growth.

The design of the HP 2400 is straightforward and efficient, if a little boring, like the HP P1005 toner printer. The printer measures 15.7 inches by 16.7 inches by 15.7 inches (HWD), and weighs 48.5 pounds. This puts it in the category of being larger than a compact printer, but smaller than a large office printer. The extra size is put to good use, as it makes room for the fast printing engine and paper capacity. The standard paper capacity is 350 sheets, divided between the main drawer, with a capacity of 250 sheets, and the multipurpose drawer, with a capacity of 100 sheets. The printer has room for expansion as well, as users can add an additional 500-sheet input tray for a total of 850 sheets of capacity. This allows the 2400 to meet the needs of a growing office both now and in the future. Its 100,000 page monthly duty cycle means it is designed for high-volume use, and will have no problem keeping up with a fairly large office.

The printers processor is 400 MHz, and it is equipped with a generous 64 MB of RAM, so it can do virtually all of its own processing. The RAM can be upgraded to a maximum of 320 MB if necessary.

The main benefit of the LaserJet 2400 is its lightning fast speeds. At 35 pages per minute, it is faster than many more expensive printers, and has the speed to keep up with a high-volume office environment. Print quality is excellent across the board, utilizing the 1200 dpi resolution to produce sharp and detailed prints.

Overall, the HP LaserJet 2400 is a great choice for a growing office. Its fast speeds and excellent print quality will serve an office well, even as it expands in the future.
