Copy overview

There are two methods you can use to make copies:

Making Quick Copies

Using the Copier Control Panel

Each method is intended to be used for different purposes.

Making Quick Copies

 

Quick Copies enable you to quickly make a single copy of a document

 

(up to 20 pages), and your PC does not have to be turned on. You can

 

change the default Quick Copy settings, if necessary, to yield the best

 

looking copies for the type of original you copy most. These settings

 

will be applied to every Quick Copy job until you change them.

 

 

Note

For making multiple copies or copies that differ from your most common

 

type of original, use the Copier Control Panel. See “Using the Copier

 

Control Panel.”

 

See “Quick Copy settings” or the online help for more information on

 

 

changing the default Quick Copy settings. See “Accessing the online

 

help.”

 

1 Ensure the printer is loaded with paper.

 

2 Load the original document (up to 20 pages) in the scanner paper

 

input tray with the narrow side down and the side-to-be-

 

copied facing toward the front of the scanner. Adjust the

 

paper guides to fit the original. See “Loading Copier/Scanner

 

originals.”

 

3 Adjust the paper output lever on the printer to accommodate the

 

copy job. Use the paper output bin (lever up) if you are copying to

 

standard weight media. Use the straight-through output path

 

(lever down) if you are copying heavy media.

 

4 Press the Copy button on scanner.

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.
