HP 3310 Printer Review

The HP LaserJet 3310 is a monochrome laser printer with multifunction capabilities, designed for the personal or small office user. It offers a good blend of features and capabilities, as well as excellent print quality and decent speeds, though not as good as those produced by HP Q6471A toner.

The LaserJet 3310 sports a modern, sleek design with curved edges and good aesthetic appeal. It has the form of a laser printer with a copying unit on top of it, but unlike some multifunction lasers, the copying unit is more integrated into the design of the overall unit and does not jut out from the top in an awkward way. The result is a multifunction device with good form and function.

The LaserJet 3310 is designed for use as a personal printer, but it can also support a small number of networked users. It does not include a network connection, but it can be shared through a host computer or a print server if necessary. Its paper capacity is 250 sheets in its main drawer, and 10 sheets in its bypass tray. The output tray can hold 125 sheets. Maximum monthly duty cycle is 10,000 pages. With these capacities, the LaserJet 3310 is capable of handling the needs of a small office, but it is not suitable for high-volume situations. Print speed is a little on the slow side at 15 pages per minute, but probably fast enough for many users.

HP LaserJet 3310 toner cartridges have a rather low page yield. Like the paper trays with the small capacity, the HP 3310 toner cartridges were not meant for an office with high-volume needs. At 3,500 pages per HP 3310 toner cartridge, the HP LaserJet 3310 toner cartridge will suffice for a small office or personal user, though larger offices may want Brother TN580 toner.

Copying and scanning can be done either with the flatbed scanning surface or the automatic document feeder, which allows users to scan or copy up to 50 pages automatically. The copier is capable of reducing and enlarging originals from 25-400%, and making up to 99 copies at once. The scanning engine can scan up to 600 dpi for very sharp scans and copies.

Overall, the HP LaserJet 3310 is a well-designed multifunction device that has all the functions an office is likely to need, minus faxing capabilities. Users who need more speed or built-in networking will need to look elsewhere. Also, anyone in need of a simple personal printer, units with HP CE278A toner will be better suited.
