HP PSC 1401 Paper Handling

The input tray can hold a total of 100 sheets of plain paper with a weight of 70 to 90 gsm. The maximum number of sheets that the output tray can hold depends on the media size in it. This feature also depends on the amount of ink you are using. The media sizes supported apart from the plain paper include Legal, Cards, Envelopes, Transparency films, Labels, and Photo papers.

Copy specifications

The copy mode works by Digital Image Processing and can print up to 9 copies from the original document. It also has the fit-to-page function. The speed of copying is generally 18 copies per minute (CPM) for black and 14 CPM for colored. These copy speeds, however, depend on the model of the printer in use as well as the complexity of the document.

Scanning specifications

The Scanning function works using the Integrated OCR software that automatically converts scanned text to editable text. The role also includes the image editor. The scan speeds vary according to the complexity of the document and the model of the printer in use. The scanner also has an Image editor. The scanning resolution is 600 x 2400 dpi optical. Also, the resolution is enhanced to 19200 dpi by software, which also depends on the system specifications. The color depth is 36-bit and 8-bit grayscale.

HP PSC 1401 Cartridges

The print cartridges compatible with this printer include HP 21 and HP 22 black and tri-color ink cartridges. When the cartridges in use run out, they should be replaced only with the same models.

HP PSC 1401 Input/Output Interface

The primary connectivity route is the Hi-speed USB 2.0 port that is also compatible with USB 1.1. The length of the USB cable should be less than 3 m (10 feet) in range. The essence of this is to minimize the injected noise due to high electromagnetic fields.

HP PSC 1401 Limitations

1. There is no USB cable available in the printer package. The user may have to purchase one from a trusted outlet.
2. Low output tray capacity of just 50 sheets of plain paper. HP, therefore, recommends emptying the output tray frequently.
