Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Hewlett-Packard's OfficeJet T45 is a solid, mainstream multifunction device ideal for home office users. This affordable model combines 600 x 300 dpi color ink-jet printing, 300 x 300 dpi 24-bit color scanning, faxing, and color copying capabilities. With a small footprint, simple setup, and easy-to-use software bundle, the T45 is an excellent solution for small businesses. Despite its low price, it's designed for a strong duty cycle of 3,000 printed pages per month.

Opening the unit's top cover causes the print carriage to automatically position itself for cartridge loading. The unit takes separate black and color ink cartridges, which snap in easily. The software CD provided us a well-integrated interface for both learning about the product and installing the software bundle. The T45 ships with I.R.I.S. optical character recognition software and Q & A PhotoRecall Deluxe image-editing software.

When a page is inserted into the input tray of the T45, the HP OfficeJet Manager is automatically launched to assist you in faxing, copying, scanning, or e-mailing the document. While this utility certainly helps to make the machine easy to use, we found many operations are much faster when done directly through the unit's console versus through the PC.

The T45 uses a parallel connection to connect to your PC and a phone line to provide fax functions. We set up the T45 in just a few minutes. We copied a standard black-and-white page in 35 seconds locally, but it took 1 minute and 20 seconds when copied through the Manager program. Color copies took 1 minute and 15 seconds through the console and 3 minutes using the Manager. The speed difference is due to the fact that, when operating from the Manger, the T45 scans pages before printing the copies.

Our 10-page plain-text document averaged 3 pages per minute when printed in normal mode, a bit below the unit's rated 5 ppm. We also scanned 4-by-6-inch photos in a snappy 25 seconds each.

The T45 produces good performance suitable for most environments. The output quality is also right on the mark for units at this price. We were impressed with the unit's control panel, which features a numeric keypad and LCD panel, as well as prominent fax, copying, and scanning buttons. Separate color and black copy buttons reduces the need to switch settings between jobs.

The HP OfficeJet T45 is a great way to get all of your input and output needs met on a budget. Backed by HP's excellent reputation and mature technology, the T45 is a reliable companion. --Stephen W. Plain

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Pleased, April 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: HP Officejet T45xi - Multifunction ( fax / copier / printer / scanner ) - color - ink-jet - copying (up to): 6 ppm (mono) / 2 ppm (color) - printing (up to): 9 ppm (mono) / 6.5 ppm (color) - 100 sheets - 14.4 Kbps - parallel - remarketed (Electronics)

I was quite surprised to find that this is basically a brand new fax printer with just some minor scratchs on it (no big deal). This works great. Easy to hook up. Quality is as good as any ink jet printer. You can't beat the price either as I have checked around quite a bit.

Well worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy and Fun, August 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: HP Officejet T45xi - Multifunction ( fax / copier / printer / scanner ) - color - ink-jet - copying (up to): 6 ppm (mono) / 2 ppm (color) - printing (up to): 9 ppm (mono) / 6.5 ppm (color) - 100 sheets - 14.4 Kbps - parallel - remarketed (Electronics)

I went with this product because of HP's reliability. So far, this product has been great. Easily receives faxes; quickly copies anything; scans everything - even photos and ID cards; prints perfectly each time. It has an easy set-up, clear directions, and it's fun to play around with. This was one of the best deals I've ever found. I would recommend this product to nearly everyone - undergrad and grad students, especially. Even though HP sorta gears this towards professionals, it adapts to nearly any need.
