The HP LaserJet P1505 - A Personal Device With More Power

By Ben Pate


The HP LaserJet P1505 Printer is a monochrome laser printer that's a speedy performer. It's ideal for use at home or in the office or even in a workgroup consisting of 5 computers. It also uses the high-end, patented spherical HP P1505 printer toner. Although there's no space for upgrading found here, it's fast and dependable enough just as it is. This is due to the innovations Hewlett Packard has added into the unit.

Inside it is a 266MHz processor that paves the way for production of 24 monochrome printouts in a minute. Its compact design has a dimension of 8.9" (height) x 9.6" (depth) x 14.9" (width), and weighs only 13 lb. Based on these numbers, it can be placed trouble-free on a desktop or moved around to take it where it's needed. It boasts of a white body, gray top and clean lines which can easily match the workplace environment.

The Instant-On technology of the P1505 ensures that you can finish the task at hand quickly. That's because it only takes as little as 6.5 seconds for the unit to eject the first printout. Comparing this with other black-and-white laser printers these days, that's veru faster. In a busy office where there's large volume output needed, the speed at which the first page is churned out is just as important as the rate of pages printed per minute.

Combined input media handling capacity is at 260 sheets, thanks to the couple of media feeders available. As many as 10 sheets are handled by the priority input tray. As the name suggests, it's where the printer looks first for each task. Then there's also the main input tray which is capable of holding up to 250 sheets. This one is adjustable, to accommodate multiple media dimensions.

Speaking of media sizes, the P1505 is compatible to work on a variety of them. This includes letter (8.5 inches x 11 inches), legal (8.5 inches x 14 inches) and executive (7.25 inches x 10.5 inches). It can also handle custom media sizes from 3 inches x 5 inches to 8.5 inches x 14 inches. There are numerous media types compatible with the unit. They include plain paper, photo paper, vellum, transparencies, cardstock, envelopes and labels.

It produces a print resolution of 1200 x 1200 dots per inch, allowing for rendering of professional-looking documents each and every time. There's also the HP FastRes 1200 innovation within. Because of this, you can enjoy crisp text, sharp lines and photorealistic grayscale images without affecting the printer's speedy performance.

There's a 2MB RAM (fixed) installed upon purchase. Also included are 26 scalable fonts and a PCL 5e printer language support. The hi-speed USB 2.0 port and integrated networking connection make it easy to use the unit on a single computer or a workgroup with a max of 5 computers. The patented spherical HP printer toner cartridge can yield up to 2000 pages, and the duty cycle is set at 8000 pages per month.
