Performance

Depend on fast performance and get more done in less time

Performance is more than maximum engine speed, measured in pages per minute (ppm). Rather, performance should be gauged by the speed at which the device can turn electronic files into printed pages or convert printed material into electronic information. In addition to engine speed, several factors affect the time it takes to print a job, including the use of special paper, computer download time, and device processing time. The time it takes for your computer to download a job to the device, and for the device to process a job, depends on the following variables:

The complexity and size of graphics

The product’s I/O configuration (network or USB speed)

The speed of your computer

The amount of device memory installed

The network operating system and configuration (if applicable)

Printer personality or language (such as PCL or PostScript®)

Note Adding additional device memory may resolve memory problems, improve how the device handles complex graphics, and improve download times, but additional memory will not increase maximum engine speed (ppm rating).

A better performing product leads to higher productivity in your workplace. You spend less time waiting and output appears more quickly. The HP LaserJet 3050 AiO is optimized for performance, print quality, and affordability; it completes complex jobs quickly and without device failures.

Increase office efficiency

Fast print and copy speeds

Increase office efficiency with print and copy speeds up to 19 ppm letter (18 ppm A4). The product

 

features Instant-on Technology which uses an inductive heat fuser to virtually eliminate warm-up time

 

from both the Ready and PowerSave states.

 

The product delivers the first page in less than 8 seconds when printing and less than 14.5 seconds for

 

letter-sized documents (14.7 seconds A4) when copying. The predictive ready-to-print algorithm

 

processes jobs in parallel with printing and improves the first page out print speed over time. Because

 

there is little warm-up time, the product consumes less energy and realizes less wear on the engine.

 

 

Productive faxing

Experience fast processing speeds of up to 33.6 kbps with the Super G3 V.34 fax modem and store up

 

to 110 pages of important fax documents. HP LaserJet Fax software allows you to send and receive

 

faxes directly from your computer—even from applications like Microsoft® Word or Excel—saving time,

 

paper, and printing supplies.

 

 

Fast scanning

The 30-sheet ADF processes input at up to 19 images per minute (ipm) letter (18 ppm A4).
