emulation (optional on 2230) make shared color printing both easy to use and manage from any
standard Web browser
• Internet enabled—with an embedded Web server, the hp business inkjet 2280tn is capable of
sending and receiving e-services (optional on 2230 and 2280)
• remote management—self-diagnostic e-services automatically send e-mail alerts when attention is
required, such as paper out or low ink (optional on 2230 and 2280)
cost-effective • reduce printing costs—four individual high-capacity ink cartridges (CMYK) let users change only the
ones they need, contributing to a color cost per page of just 8.4* cents (2.2* cents black and white)
• minimize user intervention—the hp business inkjet 2230/2280 series is equipped with individual
high-capacity ink cartridges that print around 1,750 pages for each color and a 250-sheet paper tray
for minimal intervention; add an optional 250-sheet paper tray (standard with 2280tn) to increase
capacity to 500 sheets
• reduce wasted printing—individual cartridges feature smart chips to continuously monitor print head
health, print quality, and ink supply
performance • print large jobs efficiently—print professional color documents with speeds of 7.5 ppm in normal mode
and 14 ppm in fast mode and the new “speed optimized normal” mode prints up to 50% faster than
“normal” mode with comparable print quality
• print on demand—print processing powered by 96/167 MHz dual processors and 48 MB of
on-board printer memory; expandable up to 176 MB for fast printing of even the biggest graphic files
(96 MHz/16 MB standard on 2230)
• confidently produce quality, accurate documents—print any business document with complete accurcy
and superior print quality through auto-switching of hp PCL5C and PostScript 3 emulation (optional on 2230)
*Based on 5% average ink coverage for each color.
HP printing and imaging systems help you create powerful, professional communications easily. Printers,
supplies, accessories, and services are designed together to work together and invented to meet

networking now (or later)
All of the HP Business Inkjet 2230/2280 series printers are
built with networking in mind. If you’re looking to network
your small business or workgroup immediately, consider the
HP Business Inkjet 2280tn. This printer comes with a robust
EIO networking HP Jetdirect card and an embedded Web
server to make shared color printing easy to use and manage
from any standard Web browser, in all major network
environments and protocols. The HP Business Inkjet 2280tn
printer is Internet-enabled, capable of sending and receiving
printing e-services such as self-diagnostic services that send
automatic e-mail alerts when attention is required. If networking
capability isn’t an immediate need, purchase either the
HP Business Inkjet Printer 2230 or 2280 with the knowledge
that both printers can be upgraded for full networking ability.
powerful printing
The HP Business Inkjet 2230/2280 series was designed for
users looking for an affordable solution to their demanding
printing needs. Produce professional, effective communications
in less time. For fast printing or drafts, you can print full-color
documents at speeds of 14 ppm in fast mode and 15 ppm in
black and white. When you’re ready to print the final product,
use the normal mode and receive color printouts at 7.5 ppm.
Plus, HP has added a new “Speed-optimized Normal” that
prints documents up to 50% faster than the “Normal” mode
with comparable print quality. Colors appear vibrant and
sharp with HP PhotoREt III color layering technology. Print
accuracy and excellent quality are assured with auto-switching
of HP PCL 5c and PostScript 3 emulation (optional on the 2230).
The HP Business Inkjet 2280 and 2280tn both deliver the
power that comes from 96/167 MHz dual processors
(96 MHz on the 2230) and 48 MB of built-in RAM
memory (16 MB in the 2230). And, all models can expand
to 176 MB of RAM, making this the printer that truly grows
with your business.
affordable, low maintenance printing
HP designed the HP Business Inkjet 2230/2280 series with
you in mind—robust printers that don’t require a lot of
attention and won’t increase your bottom line. By using four
individual high-capacity ink cartridges (black, cyan, magenta,
yellow), these printers create documents more efficiently,
extending printing life. Each ink cartridge features smart chips
to continuously monitor both printhead health and ink supply.
And because you only have to replace the individual color
ink cartridges that are empty, you save money on ink costs.
Printed documents cost only 2.2* cents per page for black
and white and 8.4* cents per page for color. The highcapacity ink cartridges print up to 1,750 pages on each color
thereby lowering your intervention with the printer. To further
lower your intervention rate, consider purchasing an additional
250-sheet paper tray (standard on the 2280tn).
works in your environment
The HP Business Inkjet 2230/2280 series printers support
Microsoft
®
Windows® and include standard parallel interfaces
for PC environments. The 2280tn model also supports
additional operating systems including Macintosh
®
, OS2, Linux®,
and UNIX
®
(optional on the 2230/2280). And by using the
same connectivity system, driver layout, and management
tool support, the HP Business Inkjet 2230/2280 series blends
seamlessly into HP LaserJet printer environments.
