HP LaserJet 2100TN Printer Feature

• Prints at up to 10 pages per minute
• 8 MB standard, expandable to 40 MB
• True 1,200 x 1,200 dpi resolution
• Includes HP JetDirect 600N (EIO) 10Base-T print server
• 4 Mbps IrDA-compliant infrared port

The network-ready HP 2100TN prints up to 10 pages per minute and offers true 1,200 x 1,200 dpi, an IrDA port, and the exclusive HP UltraPrecise toner cartridge for sharp text and beautiful grayscales.

To set up the 2100TN, we removed the protective shipping tape and padding, unpacked and inserted the included toner cartridge, and connected the AC power. We inserted the CD-ROM and followed the HP setup program. Except for a hidden port covering the parallel connection, the process was straightforward and intuitive.

To test the 2100TN, we printed text in a variety of fonts and sizes. All our samples were as laser-perfect as we would expect in a 1,200-dpi printer. We also printed graphics and artwork. The printer's monochrome interpretation of the originals' color was warm and smooth with little evidence of dotted halftoning or pixelation.

The printer is rated at 10 pages per minute and, in our tests, it performed at just under nine pages per minute for both Best Quality and Fast Printing modes, indicating (as expected) that the paper path, not the print quality, limits the printer's maximum speed. However, the printer's built-in 66-MHz processor prevented processing delays and drains on our desktop PC's system resources.

An especially handy feature is the Cancel Job button, which allows you to cancel the current printing job without having to open the Print Manager on your PC. The printer has a fast 4 Mbps IrDA port, allowing you to print from your laptop, or even your Windows CE-based PDA, without a cable. (HP's Web site offers free software you can download to your PDA for this purpose.) The 2100TN is also preinstalled with network hardware--HP JetDirect 600N (EIO) Internal Print Server--that's easy to set up and maintain with HP JetAdmin software.

With its sturdy construction, straightforward setup, fast printing, networking abilities, and beautifully sharp output, the 2100xi impressed us as a fine laser printer.

Pros:

• Fast printing
• Sturdy construction
• IrDA port
• Cancel Job button

Cons:

• Printer cable not included
