With the HP LaserJet 3380, HP seems to have taken the best parts of a multifunction laser printer and shrunk them down into a compact device designed for home and small office users, without sacrificing the quality and speed one would expect. It has faster speeds than others in its series, and HP 3380 toner is much more affordable than competing models, saving on printer toner with every print. If you do not need a multifunction device, consider the
HP 2300 toner printer instead.
The HP 3380 can print, scan, fax and copy, covering all the necessary bases for any type of office user. There is a 50-page automatic document feeder for quickly scanning multiple pages at once. This is an unexpected feature for such a compact machine but a welcome one. There is also a flatbed scanning surface.
The unit measures 21.5 inches by 20.5 inches by 19.5 inches and weighs 34.8 pounds with the
HP toner cartridge. Its footprint is small enough to fit on a desk, despite its many features. Paper capacity is 260 sheets, and it cannot be upgraded. The unit includes 32 MB of RAM which can be upgraded to 96 MB, however. The machine is very easy to setup and simple to use. Using the control panel is intuitive, making it easy even for novices.
Replacing a
toner cartridge is a chore that no one enjoys. HP 3380 toner cartridges have a large capacity that alleviates this problem. The large capacity of LaserJet 3380 toner cartridges also means a lower cost per page. Combine this with the fact that LaserJet 3380 toner is less expensive than most competing models, and you have a significant savings in operating costs over the life of the machine.
Small office users will be impressed with the HP 3380 and its multitude of features and functions. Its compact frame will be welcome in tight spaces, and the low price of HP 3380 toner will be easy on the wallet.
