HP 2280 User Manual

• add to your network—share your printer over your network as easy as installing any HP
LaserJet printer (optional on 2230 and 2280)

• easy connectivity—the HP Jetdirect EIO internal print server and HP PCL 5c and PostScript

®

3 emulation (optional on 2230) make shared color printing 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)

• 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
printhead health, print quality, and ink supply

• print large jobs efficiently—print professional color documents with speeds of 7.5 ppm in
normal mode and 14 ppm in fast mode; 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
accuracy and superior print quality through auto-switching of HP PCL 5c and PostScript 3
emulation (optional on 2230)

*Based on 5% average ink coverage for each color
