HP 1025 Color Printer: specifications and reviews

A printing laser device with the ability to output documents in color and faster performance is all HP 1025. This printer in most cases can cover the need for printing. It is about him that will be further discussed.

Niche of the peripheral solution

A monthly resource of 15,000 pages is enough to organize the workflow in a small office or a small working group. This same volume will be sufficient and home application of the peripheral device in question. You can also successfully use this solution in a large office or even a duplicating center. And in the last two cases, under certain circumstances, the HP Laserjet 1025 printer can completely satisfy the printing need. Color - it is the presence of this word in the specifications of the peripheral product in question that indicates that it not only monochromatically can display documentation, but also in color. Therefore, it can be noted that this model of laser printer is perfect for those cases when you need a large print resource for a month in color or black and white modes.

Equipment

The following components, documentation and accessories include the HP 1025 package:

• Printer.

• Set of cartridges starting.

• Booklet with warranty obligations.

• Interface cord.

• Drum.

• Power wire.

• Complete user manual.

• Disk with software and documentation.

• Warranty card.

Speed. Formats and density of sheets

The HP Laserjet 1025 printer can really boast of high performance. To warm up after the primary power supply, it needs 25-30 seconds. In monochromatic printing mode, he will spend 15.5 seconds to print the first page. Then, in this mode, it can print up to 16 pages per minute. In color mode, the output speed of the sheets will decrease slightly. On the first page it is necessary in this case to spend 27.5 seconds, after which it will be possible to display 4 pages per minute. All the above values are valid for A4. If the paper size is reduced, the print speed is increased. In addition to A4, A5 and A6 are also supported from this set of formats at the driver level. This list is also supplemented by fairly widespread B5 and C5. It is possible to set the size of the output sheet in the drivers of the laser printer. The density of paper is limited to 60-170 g / m ² , but it can be printed on glossy photo paper with 220 g / m ² .

Communications

Significantly saved the developers on the communication list in HP 1025. Only one way to get information in it is implemented - Fast USB revision 2.0. Also this printer can work successfully with other versions of this universal wired interface. But the support for Ethernet / RJ-45 and Wi-Fi in this case is certainly not enough.

Cartridge

A set of HP126A cartridges should be installed in this laser printer. It includes a selenium drum CE314A for HP Laserjet 1025. The CE310A cartridge is used for monochromatic printing. It is charged only with black toner, and its print resource is 1000 pages. In color mode, the cartridges are CE311A (blue), CE312A (yellow) and CE313A (magenta). Each of them has exactly the same printing resource as the monochromatic cartridge CE310A, that is 1000 pages.

Software

Almost the ideal list of drivers can boast of this peripheral solution. In the list of supported system software there are all the current versions of the OS "Windows" starting with XP and ending with 10. In the latter case, the driver must be installed in the compatibility mode with "Windows 8.1". This list is supplemented by various modifications of the Linux operating system. Finally, it should be noted that this printer supports the system software Ubunty, and even MacOS. The only family of OSes with which the printer really can not work is UNIX.

Setup order

At the first stage of setting up this printer it is necessary to remove it from the box along with all the rest of its contents. Then the printer must be installed on the planned place of use, which must satisfy two criteria at once:

• The distance to the nearest system unit is no more than two meters.

• Next to the device should be a 220 V outlet.

It is based on these two conditions and selects the location of the peripheral device. After installing the printer, you must connect the interface cable to the personal computer, and the power wire to the power supply network. At the next stage we install the cartridges and the drum. Then you need to configure and properly configure the print server whose functions are performed by the nearest PC to the laser printer. To do this, drivers, configuration and test utilities are installed from the CD-ROM. After the installation is complete, make sure the printer is working. To do this, just print a test page. If everything is done correctly, it will be printed. Otherwise, it is necessary to search for the cause of the malfunction and to eliminate it. And it can be connected with wrong connection of the device. Another possible reason is the lack of installation of some drivers in the operating system itself.

Reviews. Cost

Now it is possible to purchase a printer HP 1025 for 10 000 rubles. Taking into account its technical characteristics given earlier, as well as the possibility of outputting documentation in color and a large print resource for 30 calendar days, this price tag looks quite justified. The disadvantages of the device include the presence of only one method of connection and mediocre print quality. But these shortcomings are compensated by a solid set of advantages, in the list of which the owners in the reviews include high speed, the ability to output documentation in color, ease of configuration and use, and a large print resource for a calendar month.

Results

The universal printing peripheral is HP 1025. In it, the manufacturer has put a large print resource for 30 calendar days in the amount of 15,000 pages. This circumstance makes it possible to use it to organize a printing subsystem in almost any situation. All this is complemented by the ability to output documentation in color mode.
