Printer paper specifications

HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. This printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, vellum, and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors affecting printer performance and output quality.

The printer can use a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this manual. Paper that does not meet these guidelines may cause the following problems:

Poor print quality

Increased paper jams

Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair

For best results, use only HP brand paper and print media. Hewlett- Packard Company cannot recommend the use of other brands. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence or control their quality.

It is possible for paper to meet all of the guidelines in this manual and still not produce satisfactory results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.

Before purchasing a large quantity of paper, make sure it meets the requirements specified in this user guide and in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specification Guide. (To order the guide, see “Accessories and ordering information.”) Always test paper before purchasing a large quantity.

CAUTION Using paper outside HP specifications may cause problems for the printer, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett- Packard warranty or service agreements.

1100A specifications

The HP 1100 and 1100A are pivotal laser printers developed by Hewlett-Packard in the early 1990s, marking significant advancements in printing technology of their time. Since their introduction, these models have garnered a reputation for reliability and efficiency, making them a staple in many offices.

One of the standout features of the HP 1100 series is its fast printing speed. The printers can produce up to 12 pages per minute, which was an impressive feat at the time of their release. This speed significantly reduced waiting times, allowing users to handle large-volume printing jobs with ease. Furthermore, the printers support a variety of media types, including letterhead, envelopes, and labels, enhancing versatility in print applications.

The HP 1100 and 1100A utilize laser technology, which ensures sharp and high-quality prints. The printers have a native resolution of 600 x 600 dots per inch (DPI), enabling crisp text and detailed graphics. This high-resolution output made the models particularly favored for producing professional documents and presentations.

Another key characteristic is the generous memory capacity. The HP 1100 typically comes with 2 MB of standard RAM, which is expandable, allowing for improved performance in handling complex print jobs. Users can adjust the memory according to their requirements, resulting in better efficiency, particularly in environments that demand high-volume printing.

The HP 1100 series also showcases a straightforward and user-friendly operation. The built-in control panel simplifies the printing process, allowing users to manage jobs intuitively. Additionally, with the inclusion of parallel and later USB connectivity options, integration with various computer systems was seamless, ensuring compatibility with existing office infrastructure.

Energy efficiency is another aspect worth noting, as the printers are designed to consume minimal power when idle, aligning with the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions.

Overall, the HP 1100 and 1100A stand out for their robust construction, high-speed performance, exceptional print quality, and user-friendly features, making them a trusted choice for small to medium-sized businesses in need of dependable printing solutions. Their impact on the printing landscape during the 1990s continues to be felt today, as they paved the way for subsequent generations of laser printers.
