A small business can get a significant edge on their competition when they can quickly and efficiently meet the needs of their customers.
When you can generate documents, brochures, contracts, and other printed material quickly and consistently deliver crisp, clear and clean copy to your clients, they will want to develop a long term relationship with you and your credibility will be greatly enhanced.
Printers such as the HP LaserJet 2430dtn printer using HP LaserJet 2430dtn toner is often an excellent investment for a new business.
Looking for the right printer for your business will require you take some time to research the printers that are available.
A printer that is being selected for a small office or home business must have some features that are not as important for home use where a printer is not used on a regular basis.
Growing businesses must have the same high quality of printer that a larger business would expect.
Multi-function printers are very popular with most homes and home businesses.
However, these machines can be very expensive to use on a regular basis.
The toner, when used on a daily basis for mass printing, can be extremely expensive.
In addition, the machines are not made to be used for the kind of heavy duty printing needs that the larger laser jet printers are.
The small office printers are affordable and designed to grow with your office.
It can easily accommodate from one to twelve people in an office or in the same proximity in a room or building.
The printers are easily used as a stand-alone for a single user, but are also easily networked in a centralized location.
While these printers do not have a hard disk, they have several ports that make it extremely versatile and functional.
The ports included on the printer include a parallel port, USB port and Ethernet port.
A great feature of the office printer is its ability to print on different weights of paper.
There may be occasions when you want to print on a lightweight paper or transfer.
This is easily accomplished by selecting the weight on the custom push button control.
Or, if you need to print a flier, notice, or card on a heavy 53 lb weight paper, you can do so with ease.
No matter what the weight of the paper, the printer toner will not bleed or make the lines or details fuzzy.
The initial toner cartridge for the larger printer is more expensive, however, it is designed to be used regularly and last through up to 10,000 sheets of paper.
You will be able to easily print up to a case of regular paper with no need to replace your toner cartridge.
When the machine needs attention and maintenance, a notice shows up on the LCD window.
In most cases there will also be a phone number to call for your maintenance.
The maintenance light will come on every 100,000 sheets of paper so you do not have to worry about remembering when you last received maintenance.
When you are doing a lot of printing, it will be important to have your printer working in the background so you can continue to prepare documents for printing.
With the 64 MB RAM memory the printer will hold the document and print it without disrupting your typing.
In addition, the card can be expanded to a 320 MB RAM when there are multiple users so no one will have to wait to send their documents to print.
Comparing printers will also include finding out about the warranty and service agreement.
When you begin to compare the HP LaserJet 2430dtn printer with other printers be sure to check for the service agreement which should last at least three years and the warranty which should be at least a one year coverage.
Usually, the service agreement can be renewed before it expires so you can have the coverage for the life of your machine.
