Performance
Enjoy fast color speeds
without compromising print
quality.
HP consistently exceeds black-and-white laser customer printing demands. Now you can enjoy the perks of color
printing without sacrificing your black-and-white laser speed experience. With the HP Color LaserJet CP1215
Printer, you get both in one device. From the first print job of the day to the last, this printer delivers fast,
professional prints.
Printer performance is more than a measure of maximum engine speed, measured in pages per minute (ppm).
Rather, printer performance is the speed at which a printer can turn electronic files into printed pages. 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 printer processing time.
Instant-on Technology
Start and finish jobs sooner. Instant-on Technology uses cutting-edge fuser technology to
produce the first page faster when a printer is coming out of low power mode, so your print
job is done sooner. Plus, Instant-on Technology uses up to 50 percent less energy than
traditional fusing, reducing your power consumption and helping you minimize your impact on
the environment.
Print black-and-white documents quickly—up to 12 ppm—and color documents at up to 8 ppm.
Instant-on Technology delivers a fast first page, so you can print documents right away, even
first thing in the morning. In today’s office environment, this means less waiting for prints and
more time spent engaged in business.
Maximizes productivity
• Print economically. With this Color LaserJet, you can print black-only pages for the same price as on an
HP black-and-white LaserJet.

In addition, four introductory HP Color LaserJet print cartridges with
HP ColorSphere toner are preinstalled when the printer arrives (introductory cartridge yields: 750-page
black and 750-page cyan, magenta, and yellow).

The street prices and yields are designed to maintain a
low cost of ownership.
• Reduce maintenance time. HP printing supplies with HP Smart printing technology are designed to minimize
user interaction, which saves time, improves productivity, and lowers overall printing costs.
• Count on HP reliability. By far the biggest contributor to user productivity is the reliability of HP equipment,
support, and service. Instead of experiencing frustration and downtime while waiting for repairs, users are
getting their work done.
• See better performance and lower costs. The printer’s host-based driver uses the processing power and
memory of the host PC rather than the printer’s. As a result, you won’t have to purchase costly additional
memory to complete your complex jobs.
