HP LaserJet P1006 - Evaluating HP P1006 Printer Performance

Performance
Printer performance is more than just a measure of pages per minute. 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. The time it takes for your computer to download a job to the printer, and for the printer to
process the job, depends on the following variables:
• Complexity and size of graphics
• Speed of your computer
• How long it takes the printer to warm up (if necessary) and print the first page
A better performing printer leads to higher productivity in your workplace. You spend less time waiting for print
jobs and more time getting your work done.
Fast professional printing
The printer delivers documents with bold, crisp text and sharp images at up to 17 ppm letter (16 ppm A4), so
you can print professional-quality documents—including envelopes, labels, spreadsheets, reports, and
invoices—quickly and reliably.
Studies have shown that personal printers sit idle an average of one hour between print jobs. This means that
the first-page-out print speed is more important than pages per minute. The HP LaserJet P1006 Printer features
no-wait Instant-on Technology that virtually eliminates warm-up time. With a first page out in less than
8.5 seconds from PowerSave mode, your office documents will print in half the time.

Because it needs minimal
warm-up time, the printer consumes less energy and realizes less wear on the engine.
With a 266 MHz processor and 8 MB memory, the printer delivers performance and reliability that’s superior
for a personal desktop printer.
