Performance
Efficient printing—HP delivers the first page almost immediately
Performance is more than maximum engine speed, measured in pages per minute (ppm). Rather,
performance should be gauged by the speed at which the device can turn electronic files into printed pages
or convert printed material into electronic information. In addition to engine speed, several factors affect the
time it takes to print a job, including the use of special paper, computer download time, and device
processing time. The time it takes for your computer to download a job to the device, and for the device to
process a job, depends on the following variables:
•
The complexity and size of graphics
• The product’s I/O configuration (network or USB speed)
•
The speed of your computer
•
The amount of device memory installed
• The network operating system and configuration (if applicable)
•
Printer personality or language (such as PCL or PostScript ® )
Note Adding additional device memory may resolve memory problems, improve how the device handles
complex graphics, and improve download times, but additional memory will not increase maximum
engine speed (ppm rating).
A better performing product leads to higher productivity in your workplace. You spend less time waiting,
because output appears more quickly and network traffic is minimized. The HP LaserJet 3052/3055 AiO is
optimized for performance, print quality, and affordability; it completes complex jobs quickly and without
device failures.
Quick print and copy speeds
Increase office efficiency with print and copy speeds up to 19 ppm letter (18 ppm A4). The product features
Instant-on Technology which uses an inductive heat fuser to virtually eliminate warm-up time from both the
Ready and PowerSave states. The product delivers the first page in less than 8 seconds (letter/A4) when
printing and less than 8.1 seconds letter (8.2 seconds A4) when copying. The predictive ready-to-print
algorithm processes jobs in parallel with printing and improves the first page out print speed over time.
Because there is little warm-up time, the product consumes less energy and realizes less wear on the
engine.
Productive faxing with the HP LaserJet 3055 AiO
Experience fast processing speeds of up to 33.6 kbps with the Super G3 V.34 fax modem and store up to
110 pages of important fax documents. HP LaserJet Fax software allows you to send and receive faxes
directly from your computer—even from applications like Microsoft ® Word or Excel—saving time, paper,
and printing supplies.
