Manual of product LaserJet 2420dn
Editorial note
The HP LaserJet 2420dn printer stands out for its high printing speed of 28 pages per minute, making it an efficient choice for offices that require increased productivity. Its exceptional print quality, with a resolution of up to 1200 x 1200 DPI, ensures sharp and professional results suitable for a variety of documents. Additionally, its maximum input capacity of 850 sheets allows for handling a large volume of documents without interruption, while the built-in duplex printing feature helps reduce paper costs. However, some aspects may limit its use. The printer is not compatible with Mac operating systems, which can be an issue for users of that platform. Although its printing speed is satisfactory, it may not be sufficient for very high-volume printing work environments. Furthermore, its weight of 16.3 kg can make it difficult to move, especially in tight workspaces. Finally, the internal memory of 64 MB may prove inadequate for more demanding applications. Overall, the HP LaserJet 2420dn offers good value for money, with well-thought-out features, including extensive network connectivity. However, the lack of color printing capabilities limits its use for certain graphic work.Score details
