Built for the small business and home office, the HP Officejet 630 is a compact multifunction device that promises to deliver professional-looking documents and impressive graphics with its colour inkjet technology. In addition to colour printing, the device boasts a digital copier and a plain paper fax machine, making it a space-saving solution for cramped spaces and desktops. However, the speeds are not at par and inefficient when compared to today's standards.
Design
This 6.8kg multifunction printer measures 11.2 inches deep, 16.9 inches wide, and 8.1 inches tall, making it one of the most compact choices from the Officejet series. The understated design of the Officejet 630 printer consists of curved surfaces and edges, with the control panel located conveniently on the top right-hand corner. There is a small display screen for viewing the status of the HP Officejet 630 inkjet printer and it is slightly angled above the organised buttons. The HP Officejet 630 inkjet printer runs on 1MB of RAM.
Advantages
The media capacity of the HP Officejet 630 colour printer is quite generous, at up to 150 sheets for the input tray and 50 sheets for the output tray. The HP 630 Officejet is easy to operate and install, and the fax machine is compatible with G3 technology and it is also feature-packed with auto redialling, DRPD (distinctive ring pattern detection), an answering machine, and fax forwarding among other features. The HP Officejet 630 all-in-one can produce up to 99 copies from the original.
Disadvantages
Speed is among the major drawbacks of the HP Officejet 630 multifunction printer because of the limited memory, so the copier can only produce up to 1ppm and the fax can only transmit messages at a maximum speed of 14.4Kbps. The print speeds are only 2ppm in colour and 5ppm in monochrome. The HP Officejet 630 printer is a sheet-fed device only, so media handling is limited for the scanner and copier. The Officejet 630 lacks networking support and finishing equipment.
