This reliable multifunction printer is aimed at small offices and home users that need a workhorse for their basic office tasks, like printing documents, labels and envelopes without colour. While the HP LaserJet 1100SE printer is well-built and speedy, users have the option to expand the built-in memory, However, the Hewlett Packard LaserJet 1100SE can only print in monochrome.
Design
Weighing approximately 8.7Kg, the HP LaserJet 1100SE boasts a small footprint with an understated frame that measures 12.8 inches wide, 14.9 inches tall, and 14.5 inches deep. The HP LaserJet 1100 SE multifunction printer is integrated with a digital copier and a sheetfed scanner, which users can control with a one-touch button on-board. Meanwhile, the LaserJet 1100SE can be connected to a PC or an operating system running on DOS or OS/2 via a parallel cable.
Advantages
Text output is excellent because of the 600x600dpi resolution of the HP LaserJet 1100SE monochrome laser printer. The HP 1100 SE laser printer is reasonably fast, too, at up to 8ppm. Users can make it speedier by upgrading the built-in memory to 18MB. The HP LaserJet 1100SE comes with a printer cable in the package, and setting it up is a breeze because of the compact body and user-friendly interface.
Disadvantages
It only does black-and-white printing. Buying additional memory for the HP LaserJet 1100SE means spending more money. Users complain of constant paper jams because of the poorly designed feed, which tends to take in multiple sheets of paper at a time. This all-in-one cannot be shared by a workgroup in the absence of Ethernet and Wi-Fi interfaces. The HP LaserJet 1100SE printer is a discontinued model so finding a reliable supplier of the HP 1100 SE toner cartridges may be tricky.
