Having the HP LaserJet 3150 printer in the workplace is like having four different machines that do diverse tasks. Obviously, its primary purpose is to print on paper. However, within the same compact unit, you may also do reproducing, scanning and faxing, all performed by the LaserJet 3150 Compatible Toners, although such tasks are rendered in black and white.

Aside from the usual letter, legal and executive paper sizes, this unit can also work with other media of varying sizes. You can choose to print on card stock, transparencies, envelopes, labels and others. When it comes to print turnouts, it has a speed of 6 pages per minute (ppm). Up to 600 dots per inch (dpi) resolution is possible. Warm up time is approximately 18 seconds.

As a copier, it can make reproductions with the speed of up to 6 cpm (copies per minute). A 600 dpi resolution allows for clear copies. It also has the capacity to reduce and enlarge from 50 percent to 200 percent. In addition, it has a multiple copying feature of up to 99 pages per task, with automatic collation to boot.

The resolution may be adjusted too, for scanning, depending on your needs and preferences. You may set it at 300 dpi (optical) in grayscale (256 levels). However, it may be enhanced to achieve a 600 dpi page resolution. Scannable sizes are at least 2 inches x 3.5 inches, and at most 8.5 inches x 39 inches. Exclusive of the data time transfer between the unit and CPU, scanning speed is 6 pages for every minute.

As a fax machine, this may work with or without a computer. It will take the machine approximately 6 seconds in transmitting a page. Up to 30 pages can be processed by its document feeder, which is fully automatic. The usual A4, letter and legal are the fax paper sizes. Resolution of pages may also be set or changed. They include 203 dpi x 98 dpi (standard), 203 dpi x 196 dpi (fine) and 300 dpi x 300 dpi (superfine). A halftone-enabled 300 dpi x 300 dpi (photo) resolution is also possible.

Modem speed is variable, at 2400-14400 bits per second. It is compatible with ITU group 3, and uses a variety of fax coding compressions (MMR / MH / MR / JBIG). There is also a fully programmable quick dial function (175 speed dials and 25 distribution lists).

Worry not about where to place this HP laser jet, as everything is packed in a compact unit. It has a dimension of 272 mm (10.8″) H x 384 mm (15.1″) W x 390 mm (15.4″) D. With the HP Cartridges installed, the 3150 weighs 10.6 kg (23.4 lbs). In the control panel in front, there is an LCD where the printer’s messages and functions are displayed. Plus the 35 buttons present allow for ease of operation.

This laser jet can handle scanning and printing tasks at the same time. However, if a fax comes in while the machine is printing, the incoming document is momentarily stored on the memory. After the printing task is done, then it automatically prints the stored document. The built-in memory, by the way, is 2 MB and it is capable of storing up to 150 fax pages.

The HP LaserJet 3150 printer is compact, yet capable of multiple functions. With just one machine, a workplace’s printing, copying, scanning and faxing needs are met. If you are looking for something that can help out with your business’ efficiency and productivity, then look no further.
