HP LaserJet 1200

HP LaserJet is a line of laser printers manufactured by HP. The HP LaserJet 1200 is a monochrome laser printer in this series. The original HP LaserJet was actually the first desktop laser printer in the world, introduced in 1984.

The HP LaserJet 1200 can hold up to 260 sheets of paper. The printer includes a Motorola ColdFire 90 MHz processor with 72 MB of RAM. The 1200 model has a maximum monthly duty cycle of 10,000 pages, and each printhead has a duty cycle of 2,500 pages.

The HP LaserJet 1200 includes the HP logo, which includes the letters “hp” in lowercase font in the center of the printer’s front face. The name “LaserJet 1200” is printed in the lower portion of the printer’s front face.

Laser printing is a process that was developed in the 1970s, and eventually replaced other forms of printing such as dot-matrix or daisy-wheel impact printing. Laser printers work by passing a laser repeatedly over a negatively charged cylinder to create an ‘image’ out of charges. The cylinder, usually called a drum, then collects electrically charged ink (toner), and then presses it to the paper, creating the image. Finally, the paper and ink are both heated to fuse them together. This process makes high-resolution images and can cope with a huge variety of patterns, allowing people to print many different fonts and images.
