HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2986 Specifications

The HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2986 prints in colour and also has a flatbed for scanning and copying. Its thermal inkjet system uses one black cartridge and one tri-colour cartridge, with HP 683 supplies listed for India. An icon display, seven buttons, and five status lights make up the control panel. Originals go onto the glass one at a time because no automatic document feeder is fitted. The machine also lacks fax hardware, a touchscreen, and internal storage.

Black documents run at up to 7.5 ISO ppm, dropping to 5.5 ISO ppm for colour. At the highest setting, black output reaches 1200 x 1200 rendered dpi. Colour can rise to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi when suitable photo paper is used. The flatbed reads A4 originals at 1200 dpi optical resolution. Copy speed is lower at six black or three colour pages per minute, and each job stops after nine copies.

A single input tray takes 60 plain sheets. Its capacity falls to 20 cards or photo sheets and five envelopes, so frequent refilling may be necessary during larger jobs. Printed pages collect in a 25-sheet output tray. Standard metric choices are A4, B5, and A6, along with DL envelopes. Custom sheets can range from 76 x 127 mm to 215 x 355 mm. Plain paper and photo stock use the same feed, as do brochure sheets, envelopes, and compatible specialty inkjet paper. Duplex documents require manual page turning, and borderless printing is not available.

A nearby computer can connect over Hi-Speed USB 2.0. Wireless jobs travel over dual-band Wi-Fi on either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz networks, using the 802.11a/b/g/n standards. Phones and tablets can send work from the HP app, Apple AirPrint, Mopria Print Service, or HP Print Service Plugin. With the trays closed, the body measures 425 x 304 x 154 mm and weighs about 3.42 kg. The monthly duty cycle is 1,000 pages, although HP places the recommended volume much lower at 50 to 100 pages.
