Savin 8035

I had never heard of Savin until. I started shopping for a multifunction for my office. I had always stuck to the main brands, feeling more secure in their familiarity. I bought the Savin 8035 once I learned that it was a subsidiary of Ricoh, and because it offered everything the other brands did, at a slightly lower price.

It isn’t the smallest device known to man, but seeing as it does the work of four separate machines, I can’t really grumble. I can’t really say how easy it was to configure because we had it installed professionally. It didn’t seem to take them long, and it appeared in our workgroup pretty quickly.

The quality of the prints and copies is the mainstay of any of these devices. As much as we may fax and scan, the copying function is always the most utilized. We don’t print many photos or images, but we did test the capabilities of the Savin 8035 when we first got it, to see what it could do. I copied a magazine photograph of a BMW M3, and the copier rendered it perfectly. The wheels has some sharper edges, I think they call them jaggies, but apart from that, the finish was great.

On our average daily use, the 8035 prints at about 35 pages per minute. Those prints are good quality and are perfectly good enough for internal or external use. Copying is about the same I think, although I haven’t stood over it with a stopwatch, they are plenty quick enough.

The paper drawers and document handlers are perfectly adequate for all sorts of situations. The standard came with 2 500 sheet paper drawers, with the option of 2 more. There was also the option of a bypass tray, document finisher, and another large capacity paper tray. The document feeder on top hasn’t jammed yet, and can handle 80 sheets of legal sized paper. The output tray is in the middle which is odd, but somehow works well. It can handle 125 sheets before getting full.

The touch screen control panel is all we would ever need, although you can control it over the network too. The menu is easy to read, and pretty logical when using it.

Faxing is easy, the dial is on the control panel, or you can fax from your desktop. That feature is nice as it prevents a queue if someone is printing or scanning something.

I like the Savin 8035. I wasn’t sure if I would or not, because it was a departure for me. I’m glad we bought it, as it’s easy to use, the toner is cheap and it’s built to last forever.

Epson XP400 User Manual Download

Epson XP400 User Manual PDF - Still sharing the information from Epson. This time is about the Epson XP400. According to cnet, Epson continues shrinking its all-in-one imaging devices with the new Expression Home XP-400 Small-in-One All-in-One Printer. Bearing the same appellation as the NX430 Small-in-One, the multifunction printer focuses on taking printing outside of the home with Epsons host of cloud-based features.

First, the Epson iPrint application for iOS and Android devices enables you to print Web pages, photos, documents, and anything else on a smartphone directly from the device, though Im hoping that Epson has mitigated the autocropping issues that limited the NX430s usability.
http://asset1.cbsistatic.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2012/06/12/Screeny_2012.06.12.15.16.25_610x374.jpg

The XP-400 also uses the companys Connect Email Print app, with which you can send a print job remotely using a unique e-mail address assigned to every printer. This means you can attach anything to an e-mail and send it straight to the printer and the job will be waiting for you in the output tray when you arrive home. The feature is similar to HP ePrint, and I can imagine it coming in handy for remote workers needing to share information with the home office, or for families who want an easy way to share photos across the world.

Compatibility with Google Cloud Print and Apple AirPrint paired with a built-in Wi-Fi print server gives users multiple ways to connect the device to a home computer or mobile device, beyond the USB cord typically used to make a pairing.

Dell 1700

As much as it was hard to throw our previous inkjet away, welcoming our new Dell Laser Printer 1700 was quite easy. One of the reasons we opted for this printer was its size. Our office isn’t large and our previous printer took up a lot of space, so we really needed a design that saved that much needed room. The Dell 1700 didn’t need a separate table and we were able to squeeze it on one of the desk tops.

Setting up the printer wasn’t much of a hassle either. We didn’t need to go through the printed manual as the poster that came with it was sufficient. The ease of installation is mainly attributed to pre-loaded printer drivers that help Dell systems to easily detect and identify the printer, thus start printing documents only a few minutes after installation.

As for its main functionality, this printer prints up to 24 A4-sized pages per minute, however, the printer is always slower while printing the first page of many during a printing session. Also, being used to the quiet of an inkjet, this printer seemed noisier to our ears in comparison, but nothing unbearable.

All that aside, thanks to its 1200 dpi resolution, the printer produces clear and distinct text, regardless of how small the font we defined was. As for the printing of images, the printed graphics are quite attractive, even though they take more time in printing, which is approx. 3.5 pages per minute.

The Dell 1700 has a paper tray that can handle up to 250 sheets, however, the printer’s paper capacity can reach 800 with the help of an optional paper drawer that can fit up to 550 sheets at a time. Other media, such as envelopes and card stock, can also be used by this printer. Card paper can be fed using the normal paper tray, whereas envelopes and thicker media must be fed through the back exit of the printer.

In addition, worrying about this printer’s toner is something no one needs to do for a long time. The replacement cartridges allow the range of 3000-9000 pages to be printed, thus bringing down the cost of each printed page to as low as 1.6 cents (the toner costs about $90).

The Dell 1700 has proved on more than one occasion to be a valuable asset to our office. It can also be just as important to others too, if they’re into steady, monochrome laser printing with high quality printing.

Sharp AR M455U

Like any office worker, you will want to improve your productivity by adding the latest technologies, however, you probably won’t appreciate the idea of diminishing space once you start buying different machines. Sharp’s AR-M455U will help bring you copy, print, scan and fax capabilities in one compact package.

The Scan2 module in the machine offers to save time while scanning documents before printing, and that is by scanning 2-sided documents in one go. Even cards can be scanned on both sides using the Card Shot feature. Both duplex printing and copying can be done for a maximum of 45 pages per minute at a 600 dpi resolution. However, the machine needs 80 seconds in order to warm up and you will need to wait 4-5 seconds before the first copy rolls out.

Paper is handled by a 50-sheet duplex single pass feeder and can be stored in three 100 sheet trays. If your work requires additional finishing, then you can order the optional dual finishing tray or the Saddle Stitch Finishing tray, which enhance your machine with capabilities like up to three position stapling as well as center folding up to 50-sheet stapling capacity and much more. Aside from paper, the other multipurpose trays can handle heavier media (79lb max).

To add more to your Sharp AR-M455U’s functionality, the 300MHz multitasking controller design comes in handy. With this feature you can mainly add network scanning, faxing and other distribution capabilities. The machine itself can serve small workgroups, however, with the networking kit, this copier/scanner/printer/fax machine can help you communicate across larger internal local area networks (LAN).

The networking kit also comes with special software to protect the information shared across the network from misuse. The program works by first securing the machine, thus only authorized users who know a 5 digit pin can access it. Next the output is protected with the help of a confidential printing feature. The network access and visibility are also secured by restricting access to the network used by the printer and you and protecting it from unknown email communication. Finally, data is safe thanks to the data security kit which can act to encrypt sensitive documents.

Another quality feature of the Sharp AR-M455U is the long life of both its toner and its drum. The black toner cartridge can last up to 35,000 pages and you won’t need to worry about the ink drying up because toners are powder-like in form. As for the drum, no replacements will be needed before this machine passes the 200,000 page yield.
The Sharp AR-M455U is a good office tool that can save your money as well as office resources. Plus, with its options to expand, you can customize in any way you like to serve your needs.

Xerox WorkCentre 7665

The Xerox WorkCentre 7665 is a color multifunction color laser printer, copier, fax and scanner and is a great device for the large business or busy office. It is a heavy duty cycle machine, that means business. The sheer size of the unit and the blue screen on the left gives you an idea of its intended duty cycle.

The WorkCentre 7665 can be configured and working in no time, despite its size and complexity. The configuration process is simple and straightforward, with the only complication being setting up the network connection. The WorkCentre 7665 comes with USB, wired and wireless network connections built in. Network and USB worked as soon as they were plugged in and we had the drivers installed. Wireless took a little longer, but is still straightforward enough for most skill levels. Chances are that you would have this device installed anyway, rather than do it yourself.

The oversized touch screen may look a little daunting at first, but is very easy to use. Each button has a solid feel despite being on a stand. The clear, bright full color LCD offers a great way to control the many features of the WorkCentre 7665 while not being too complicated. The menus are very intuitive and there is plenty of on-screen help if you get lost.

The WorkCentre 7665 has one of the largest paper capacities around. A standard 3260 sheets which is expandable to 5260 with the purchase of extra paper drawers. It also uses 2 black toners, which means downtime is virtually nil. As soon as one begins to run out it automatically switches to the other one.

On top there is an automatic multiplexed document feeder for copying or scanning. That alone can carry 250 sheets of paper.
Copying and printing produced very good quality documents.
Text quality was crisp, and image heavy pages were surprisingly good. The standard print resolution is 2400 x 2400 so we expected a good result, but this surpassed our expectations. Color reproduction was a little heavy in places, but was more than acceptable.

The speed of operation is impressive too with a first print appearing in just under 7 seconds. The following prints came out at a rate of 50 pages per minute for color and 65 for monochrome. The WorkCentre 7675 can do everything this model can at a speed of 50 pages per minute for color and 75 for monochrome. Impressive indeed.

The scanner and fax are also well featured, producing good quality documents. Both can be controlled via the network or from in front of the machine.

This is a superior machine that would serve any busy office with speed and grace. It has excellent print quality, with good speed and the flexibility of features like the duplexer and wireless connectivity make this a winner.

Printer Mechanisms

Let’s try to understand printer hardware. The printer hardware can be categorized into three parts:
1. Controller
2. Video Interface
3. Engine
Controller Operation
Computer sends data to controller board and it converts it into image data. For example when the letter “A” is sent by the computer, controller receive the character code and compares it with its built in font data and decides which image should be printed for the coming signal. After all of the image data of the page has been created inside of the controller, the data is then transmitted to the engine. The controller takes out data from image data for one line then transmits it to the engine through the video interface. The line of data which is taken out is called raster data. The raster data is transmitted to the engine through the video interface. Controller has CPU, Program ROM, Font ROM, Option RAM and smoothing circuit. Also it has an operation unit.
Video Interface
Video interface has following functions:
Function1: To transmit raster data to the printer engine at a fixed speed. It transmits raster data of one line. Transmission speed is fixed depending on the specifications of each engine. For raster data information refer to section 2.
Function 2: To convey the status of the engine to the controller. It conveys the ready status for printing, paper size and completion of printing etc.
Function 3: To convey the controller request, it conveys the request for printing, desired paper size, position and diameter of dots for smoothing.
Engine Operation
Engine board sends the controller processed data to the laser chip as a writing signal. The laser beam forms an latent (electrostatic imgae on the drum attracting toner. The toner is transferred to the paper in transfer section and toner is fused in the fusing section as it passed through the hot roller and pressure roller.

HP LaserJet 5P

The HP LaserJet 5P has taken up a corner of my loft office for the past several years. It’s old and tired but I don’t want to part with it because it’s so good. It was originally designed for individuals or small workgroups and I inherited it when I took over this company. It isn’t something I would have bought, but after owning it for some time, I change my mind on that.

It’s a basic monochrome laser printer that was industry leading in its day, but has obviously fallen a bit behind lately. I’m quite attached to it though as it hasn’t let me down at all since I owned it. It isn’t the largest device in the world, measuring 15.7” x 17.5” x 7.9” and weighing in at 25 lbs.

It prints at something like 6 pages per minute, which isn’t very fast, but is plenty enough for me. I’m not generally in a hurry so I don’t mind waiting. It holds 250 sheets of letter sized paper in the drawer at the front, while it has a 100 page bypass tray just above it. Finished prints are left on top for me to collect when I’m ready.

I print mainly in draft mode, which is the quickest but also not really any different than normal mode with the 5P. The quality is good, even for something this old. I use only text printing so have no real idea how it handles photographs or other images. Text and fonts are sharp, precise and pretty much all I want from my prints. Even the smaller text characters, or when I try to squeeze a lot onto a page, it’s still readable.

Toner cartridges are still available from vendors like Quikshiptoner.com and are around $35 for 4000 pages worth. That’s a couple of months work for me, and a single months duty cycle for the printer. So running costs are actually kept to a minimum, due to this low cost and the fact it’s an all-in-one cartridge meaning I don’t have to renew the drum regularly either.

It’s old, but it’s gold. The HP LaserJet 5P is a solid, dependable printer that won’t be going anywhere until it gives up for good. Knowing Hewlett Packard’s reputation for building solid machines, I doubt that will be anytime soon.

Lexmark E320

The Lexmark E320 is a bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It looks, and is priced like a personal laser printer, but is built like a full-on workgroup machine. The speed, print quality and networking capabilities all hint at something more.

In its basic guide, the E320 is a small printer ideally suited to a SOHO or home worker. The upgrade options are what gives this printer its teeth. It can be upgraded to hold more paper, network, larger memory and add some finishing options. This gives the printer a modular appeal that offers a little more that the average machine. It means the E320 can’t be pigeonholed for one particular group.

Paper capacity can be expanded from 150 to 400 with an optional paper drawer, the memory can be increased from 4Mb to 68Mb. You can add an Ethernet port too, which expands the built-in USB and parallel to include the SOHO and small workgroup into the fold.

There is no control panel to speak of but the driver suite offers a whole range of ways to control the printer and the sheets it prints. You can set the darkness, resolution, toner coverage, and a whole raft of other custom options to get your prints just how you like them.

Setup is a breeze, taking less than 10 minutes from unpacking to running. The cartridges are already installed and ready to go, once the printer is unpacked, connected via USB the drivers only take moments to install and you’re ready to go. Paper is fed into the drawer at the bottom, up through the printer to pass the toners and is fed out to the 150 sheet tray at the top. 150 sheets is a little optimistic as ours began sliding off after 50 or so. Apart from that, operation is flawless.

Print quality is about what we have come to expect from Lexmark. Text is crisp and exact, even at small points. The lines are straight and edges stand out like they should. Images and photographs were equally as good. Grayscale interpretations of color photos were accurate and understandable, which is a nice bonus with a laser device.

It’s obvious that Lexmark have put a lot of effort into the quality and operation of the E320. It offers something for everyone and seems equally at home with a home user as it does with a workgroup.

Dell 2155cdn Printer Review

Overview
The Dell 2155cdn is a professional grade, multi-function laser printer. Though it is a bit more expensive than some of your other options, it is also quite a bit more affordable than many of them. What’s more, the level of performance it’s capable of exceeds the level of performance of many comparably priced printers. Though there are often a few things we don’t care for when we’re reviewing printers, in this case, there is only one real drawback, which we’ll discuss in more detail momentarily. Before that, though, we’re going to take a look at some of the many things we like about this printer.

Pros
The first aspect of the Dell 2155cdn’s production capability we’d like to discuss is its maximum monthly duty cycle. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with that term, a printer’s maximum monthly duty cycle is the number of pages you can print with it every month without it over heating or giving you some other kind of problem. In this case, that maximum monthly duty cycle is forty thousand pages, which is obviously quite a bit more than most home users or small businesses will ever need to print. Therefore, we would also recommend it for some medium and large businesses.

The fact that this printer is multi-functional is an advantage, too. Having your copier, fax machine, printer, and scanner combined into one machine will save you lots of space in your office and lots of money in your budget. What’s more, it will accomplish both of the goals without requiring you to sacrifice anything by way of performance. As a matter of fact, with print seeds of up to twenty-four pages per minute and a resolution of 600 X 600 dpi, you should find this printer’s performance more than adequate for the vast majority of your office printing needs. The only exception we would note is that the resolution of this printer isn’t high enough for professional quality photographs.

Cons
One thing we haven’t mentioned yet about the Dell 2155cdn is that it’s a little larger than some of the other multi-functional laser printers in its price range. To be sure, it’s capable of higher performance levels, too, so you have to ultimately decide which factor is most important to you. In the final analysis, either you have the space or you don’t. If you do, then you will discover a printer capable of delivering levels of performance which make It well worth its price.

Konica Minolta MagiColor 5430DL

The Konica Minolta MagiColor 5430DL is a multifunction device from the Japanese camera specialists at Konica. As you would expect from a company with such a pedigree, the 5430DL is a solid performer that does justice to the brand.

It is a color printer, that makes easy work of just about everything you could throw at it. It’s print quality and design characteristics are designed to be attractive to the small office or workgroup and it is reviewed to reflect that.

The 5430DL is a breeze to install and configure, just unpack it and connect it, that’s about it. It can be attached by a USB, network or parallel port and includes drivers for both Windows, Linux and Mac. Toner can be added quickly and is quite cheap considering.

Adding the 5430DL to a network is slightly different to many of the other printers we have reviewed. This is a host-based printer which means it needs to be paired with a PC which will do most of the processing for it. This is just a matter of installing the software onto that PC and letting it be found on the network.

The printer produces good quality, sharp prints at a rate of 3 pages per minute for color and 3.4 for mono. While certainly not the fastest, it is perfectly acceptable. Text is where the 5430DL is at its best, being able to print at any size and produce good results each time, even at smaller points. Edges are smooth and clean, and toner is evenly spread across the larger letters.

There is a 250 sheet paper tray with the option to expand to 1250 with an extra pair of drawers that can take 500 sheets each. Replacement cartridges are easy to come by and will last an average of 6000 pages each. Changing them is simply a matter of removing a panel at the front and unclipping them from their housing. Then just replace them with new ones and recycle the empty ones. The process takes mere moments.

Overall the 5430DL is easy to use, easy to manage and easy to own. With the backing of a firm like Minolta, after-sales service should be good if you ever need it.

Cleaning a HP LaserJet 6P

The HP LaserJet 6P was a large format monochrome laser printer released by Hewlett Packard around 2005. It used industry leading technologies to produce good quality fast laser prints at decent speeds. It featured HP’s Resolution Enhancement Technology, (RET) which improved the default dpi through software manipulation.

If you still have one of these machines, chances are that it’s getting a little grubby on the outside. That’s easy to clean, but what about the components. Years of use and dust can play havoc with the performance and the components so it makes sense to clean it once in a while. Not only will it make it work better, but last longer too.

To clean a 6P you first have to turn it off and unplug it, both from the wall and the computer. We’ll be using liquid to clean it so we don’t want to electrocute ourselves or the computer.

Once unplugged, open the toner cartridge flap on the front and pull out the cartridge. Move it away from the printer, and rest it on something to prevent drips. While toner doesn’t dry up like ink, it can clog heads on occasion. Running a warm cloth or paper towel over the head will remove any gunk you might find there.

Look inside the recess for the cartridge to see the inner workings. Gently remove dust and dirt from the working parts, especially the ribbons and the moving parts. Don’t use water or anything here, use a cloth or another paper towel. Once clean, you can replace the cartridge and close the door.

The best thing to use when cleaning the exterior of the HP LaserJet 6P is spray window cleaner. Use sparingly, and spray onto a cloth instead of directly on the printer. Then wipe it down according the instructions on the bottle.

Once it’s clean, give the printer a wipe down with a fresh dry cloth and connect it all up again. It’s a good idea to clean the printer a couple of times a year, especially if you work in a dusty environment. Parts are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, so looking after the printer is essential for its longevity.

The HP LaserJet 4000tn is a variant of Hewlett Packards 4000 series that includes networking and a second paper tray as standard. In HP parlance, the t means tray, for the extra paper tray, and the n means networking as standard. There are other options like d for duplexer, s for stacker and l for stapler. This nomenclature is standard across the HP range, and once you know it, makes it easy to follow through.

The main advantage of the 4000 series is the 100Mhz RISC processor. Its small, cool and plenty powerful enough to drive the printer. Coupled with a standard 8Mb of memory, expandable to much more, this printer can be scaled to cope with almost any workload. With a duty cycle of 65,000 pages per month, its capabilities belie its size.

At an average of 17 pages per minute, it wont take the 4000tn to get through its duty cycle. Its no slouch and still manages to print decent quality prints at that speed. It has a default 600 dpi which is fairly average, but HPs drivers can simulate 1200 with ease, which produces some impressively detailed prints.

Photographs are particularly well done considering this is a laser. Text is understandably the strong point though. All of the fonts, at whatever point appear clear, sharp and almost good enough to eat. All output is dark where it needs to be dark and light where it needs to be light. There is no blurring, spatter, smudging or anything to detract from the great job the machine does with the printing.

The toner lasts for a good 10,000 pages for a standard one, and 15,000 for a high yield version. They are replaced by accessing the flap and unclipping the old one, then replacing it with the new. There are no drums or fusers to worry about, just the one consumable. That makes it quite a cheap option for the cost conscious.

The 4000 series has been around for a while now, and has more than earned its spurs as a solid, reliable office printer. It just keeps on giving, long after others have given up the ghost and had to be replaced. If youre in the market for a printer, you could do a lot worse than an HP LaserJet 4000tn.

Panasonic FP 7735

The Panasonic FP-7735 is a black and white printer and copier that is good for small companies and home offices. The Panasonic FP-7735 can print up to 35 black and white pages per minute with copy ratio of 50% to 200%, as per industry standards. It has a maximum sheet capacity of 5,800 pages with an automatic document feeder. Monthly duty cycle is 50,000 pages that make it ideal for small businesses and for home use.

The Panasonic FP-7735 offers maximum page resolution of 11 x 17 inches. It takes around 75 seconds for the Panasonic FP-7735 to warm up and the first copy takes around four seconds. Standard paper capacity of 550 sheets along with an automatic document feeder makes the Panasonic FP-7735 good for small businesses. Printing speed is around 35 pages per minute to 37 pages per minute, depending on the type of document.

The Panasonic FP-7735 uses high quality toner cartridges that offer great quality prints. Toner cartridges can be easily replaced with new ones as quality products are available both in retailer outlets and on the internet.

The FP-7735 is designed to be an office workhorse, with the capability of holding a massive 5,800 sheets as its total capacity. It is quite a hefty machine, weighing in at 159Lbs but for sitting in an office printing room, this is not a problem. The Panasonic FP -7735 is a quiet machine, which is always a bonus in an office environment. With minimal noise output, you can keep on copying all day without disturbing anyone. The FP–7735 also is easy on the electricity, meaning that it is not only better for the environment, but also on the pocket.

This is definitely an office-only machine, as anyone needing copying done at home would be far better off getting a smaller multi-purpose printer, unless of course they have a roomy home office which can accommodate the 26 x 24 x 23 inches that the FP-7735 occupies. The copy quality of this unit is also great, and when multiple copies are done the quality does not deteriorate as with some other copiers of lesser quality. This is partly because of the toner quality, and also the copying capabilities of the machine itself, which are of a very high standard.

For those looking for a sturdy machine that can handle a huge output demand, then the Panasonic FP-7735 is definitely a good buy.
