In addition to devices of unsurpassed quality underthe Hewlett-Packard logo, which is more often found in the niche business class, the user can find the products of the manufacturer on the shelves with appliances in the budget price category. An example is a printer with a laser print HP 1102. In this article, the reader will learn about the specifications of this printer and learn about the capabilities of the device. Feedback from owners and affordable price will prompt a potential buyer to make the right decision.
To the world market the manufacturer presented twodevice model. HP 1102 printer and its advanced modification HP 1102w printer with built-in Wi-Fi module. Both novelties enter into one price category (4500-5500 rubles), and attract attention of potential buyers. It would seem that the device with a wireless interface is more attractive to the future owner, because it (according to the manufacturer) supports printing from all mobile devices.
However, judging by the numerous reviewsowners, a wireless solution from HP behaves incorrectly when sending texts or pictures to print from devices running Android or iOS. Correctly operates only the operating system Windows Mobile, which in our country has not caught on. Therefore, the entire review will be devoted to the HP LaserJet 1102 stationary printer.
Before the first acquaintance the potential buyer will be interested to know the technical characteristics of the budget printer HP LaserJet 1102:
The usual budgetary device in the giantthe size of the box will definitely cause positive emotions even for the most demanding buyer. So, only manufacturers of elite products are concerned about transportation safety. Accustomed to the conservative appearance of the packaging from HP, the user will obviously be surprised the second time, when he discovers on the one of her displays a color image of the device HP 1102 with a detailed description of the functionality. The printer is well-packed: cardboard ribs of rigidity, a lot of partitions, a sarcophagus made from foam plastic and antistatic baggy bags.
At first glance,rich, but with a detailed inspection it turns out that most of the packages are just parts of the printer. In addition to the printer itself and its parts, the user will find a power cable, a USB 2.0 interface cable, driver discs for the HP 1102 printer, a cartridge, and a user's guide.
As statistics show, about 90% of breakdownsThe recently acquired printing equipment is caused by incorrect commissioning. It should be noted that this does not fall under warranty repair. Before connecting the printer to the computer, it is necessary to prepare it for start-up.
Presenting the HP 1102 printer on the world market,the manufacturer noted that his device is able to work with any Windows operating system without drivers. As it turned out, this is true - the basic driver is in the storage system, but with fine tuning of office equipment, he has obvious problems. In order to use the full functionality of the printer, you must install the complete driver package that comes with the printer.
As users note in their reviews, onefrom the CDs of the kit contains licensed software, which is limited to a 30-day trial period. It is better not to install these programs, because after the end of the established term they are able to lime any user with their threats and requirements to purchase a license when you start printing any documents. There are many similar programs on the Internet that are offered free of charge.
Most problems with printing a printerthe user can decide for himself in minutes. The main thing is to always have the operating instructions supplied with the device. If the HP 1102 does not print, go to the end of the manual, to the "Problems and Solutions" section. In a huge table, placed on several pages, find your question and, after reading the solution, perform the specified actions with the printer.
Many owners in their reviews drawusers' attention to the removal of jammed paper - in no case can it be removed from the working printer (a small piece of paper that can form at break, will block the entire device). It is necessary to disconnect the printer from the network, open the lid, remove the cartridge and, using the fingers of the press rollers, pull out a sheet of paper in the direction of its movement during printing.
Inexpensive solutions in the market of office equipment are interestingthe fact that their low cost quickly pays off when using refilling the cartridge on its own. On average, it is enough to make 10 gas stations on your own to completely cover the cost of not only the printer, but also the purchased toner. This is what many owners use, rarely who are willing to pay fabulous money for falling asleep black powder in the bunker.
The resource of the standard cartridge is 1600pages at 5% of the page filling (this is a plain text print 14 font with a one and a half indentation). If you remember about the limitation on printing (1500 pages per month), we can conclude that one refueling HP 1102 will provide the printer for one month of work. After simple calculations, the user will come to the conclusion that with intensive printing, the printer pays for itself literally in one year. Than not business?
In addition to the fact that when you buy an HP 1102 printerthe price is one of the main criteria, an important influence on the user's choice is the owners' feedback. Therefore, it is necessary to get acquainted with the data from the mass media more closely. Strange as it may seem, some users attributed huge dimensions to the negative, which takes up a lot of space even when folded. The problem is that those who wish to use the guarantee in the event of a breakdown (12 months), it is necessary to keep the packaging intact and complete.
Another negative concerns the unpleasant odor,originating from the printer when printing. From this can not escape, this is technology. This either needs to get used to, or air the room after printing. This concludes the negative, and all other reviews are only positive. If everything is generalized, the result will look something like this: the cheapest HP 1102 printer on the market with laser printing from a very well-known brand perfectly copes with all the tasks set, and if there are any problems, they can be solved independently with the help of the instruction.
The conclusion is one - if you need an inexpensive laserprinter with minimal printing costs, the HP 1102 will be the best purchase for any person. Naturally, it is designed for home use, because the load of 1500 sheets limits its use in the office. Suitable printer for students, students, housewives - any users who sometimes need to print something at home.
