The mono laser printer is an affordable printer for small offices or for a group that does not need the expense nor has room for a large one. The mono laser printer can be purchased with a built-in duplexer as well as Ethernet. The print cost is not high. The difference in printing speed depends upon which brand of mono laser printer you purchase. The prints are high quality prints.
Using a laser beam the printer will produce the image on a photosensitive drum. The normal process is used to transfer this image to the paper. The laser travels in a straight solitary line so this makes the mono laser printer quite precise. This can avoid having the ink spill. These printers are a little more expensive than other types but the toner does not cost as much and lasts through several printings.
The mono laser printer can be purchased in a variety of choices. If you do not want duplex printing and networking there are cheaper models available. Some have the 50 sheet tray and the straight pass through for printing. This is a good feature if what you are copying is thicker than regular paper. This can be a perfect solution for the home office.
The mono laser printer is approximately 15 inches wide, 13 inches deep and 10 inches tall. The compact size is what makes this one of the most popular smaller printers. Weighing only 25 pounds the standard printers normally have a 250 sheet tray, although they can be purchased with a 550 sheet tray. Directly above this tray is a manual feed tray which allows you to feed single sheets of paper through. With paper guides which are adjustable, you can use just about any size paper for your printing needs.
The mono laser is a pretty straightforward printer with only a couple of buttons for canceling your print job or continuing it. There are a few lights to allow you to know if there is a paper jam so that you may take care of the problem. The typical mono laser printer has a USB connector as well as parallel connectors. There is also the option of an adapter for wireless printing over the network.
The mono laser printer has toner which is what is used for printing. There is either standard or high capacity depending upon how much you are going to use the printer. If you are planning to print more than normal the high capacity toner would be better because it prints about 6,000 to 8,000 pages using one toner. The standard prints about 3,000 to 4,000. The capabilities of many are 28 pages per minute, which makes the mono laser printer one of the best around for the value and price.
Some major brands of this printer have been tested for durability and after a 50,000-impression test there were no service calls required for the printer. Among these well known brands one was chosen as the recipient of the “Pick of the Year” award by Buyers Laboratory.
Some models of the mono laser printer have a toner save button which will allow the user 40 percent more output. This is one of the best low cost laser printers that you will find.
