Introduction
The HP LaserJet 1200 printer is designed to:
lPrint— Print documents easily with the laser-quality you have come to expect from an HP LaserJet printer.
With the optional copier/scanner, you can:
lCopy— Make superior laser-quality copies. With the software, you can make up to 99 copies of a 30-page original. You can also enlarge, reduce, adjust contrast, and collate.
lScan— Scan important documents to create electronic files.
Hardware description
The printer provides 1200 dot-per-inch (dpi) printing. The optional copier/scanner scans at 600 dpi/ 24-bits per pixel (bpp) and contains a document feeder that holds up to 30 pages.
The printer prints 15 pages per minute (ppm) on letter-size paper or 14 ppm on A4. With 1200 dpi printing resolution, the printer has exceptional text and graphics print quality. The simple control panel and improved paper handling make this product very easy to use.
The printer’s main input tray has a 250-sheet capacity for continuous, multiple-page printing. Manual, single-sheet printing is possible through the priority input tray. Both trays are center-justified for all supported paper sizes. The printer output bin holds up to 125 sheets.
The printer has a very fast first-page-out, at less than 10 seconds. The formatter board contains 8 MB of ROM, 8 MB of RAM, and an embedded 32-bit Coldfire V3 processor. There is one DIMM slot available for DIMM expansion (supporting an 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, or 64 MB DIMM).
The printer engine has a 1,000 average (10,000 peak) page-per- month duty cycle. For the printer, the standard toner life is 2,500 pages, and the high capacity toner life is 3,500 pages.

Toner cartridge information
The toner cartridge is designed to simplify replacement of the major consumable parts. The toner cartridge contains the printing mechanism and a supply of toner.
At 5% page coverage, a toner cartridge will print approximately 2,500 pages. However, a toner cartridge should print more pages if it regularly prints pages with less coverage, such as short memos. The cartridge might print fewer pages if heavy or bold print is used.
For best results, always use a toner cartridge before the expiration date stamped on the toner cartridge box.
Refilled toner cartridges
While Hewlett-Packard does not prohibit the use of refilled toner cartridges during the warranty period or while the printer is under a maintenance contract, it is not recommended for the following reasons:
lRepairs resulting from the use of refilled toner cartridges are not covered under Hewlett-Packard warranty or maintenance contracts.
lHewlett-Packard has no control or process to ensure that a refilled toner cartridge functions at the high level of reliability of a new HP LaserJet toner cartridge. Hewlett-Packard also cannot predict the long term reliability effect on the printer from using different toner formulations found in refilled cartridges.
lThe print quality of HP LaserJet toner cartridges influences the customer’s perception of the printer. Hewlett-Packard has no control over the actual print quality of a refilled toner cartridge.
Recycling toner cartridges
In order to reduce waste, Hewlett-Packard offers a recycling program. Cartridge components that do not wear out are recycled. Plastics and other materials are recycled. Hewlett-Packard pays the shipping costs from the user to the recycling plant (within the United States). To join this recycling effort, follow the instructions inside the toner cartridge box.
