Evaluation  
At HP, we typically test multiple products in various environmental conditions to evaluate engine reliability.  
We run the products to engine life and test and improve the jam rate, misfeed rate, and supplies’ life.  
This kind of extensive, long-term testing is beyond the limits of most companies’ resources; however, it is  
possible to estimate their device engine reliability. One option is to compare other products’ duty-cycle  
ratings, base warranty (make sure it is at least one-year), and three-year warranty costs. When comparing  
the HP LaserJet 3050 AiO with products from other manufacturers, consider the following:  
What is the product’s duty cycle?  
How easy is it to maintain the product?  
Does the product perform consistently under various environmental conditions?  
Are there any paper jams or other failures during your evaluation?

Performance  
Depend on fast performance and get more done in less time  
Performance is more than maximum engine speed, measured in pages per minute (ppm). Rather,  
performance should be gauged by the speed at which the device can turn electronic files into printed pages  
or convert printed material into electronic information. In addition to engine speed, several factors affect the  
time it takes to print a job, including the use of special paper, computer download time, and device  
processing time. The time it takes for your computer to download a job to the device, and for the device to  
process a job, depends on the following variables:  
The complexity and size of graphics  
The product’s I/O configuration (network or USB speed)  
The speed of your computer  
The amount of device memory installed  
The network operating system and configuration (if applicable)  
Printer personality or language (such as PCL or PostScript®)  
Note  
Adding additional device memory may resolve memory problems, improve how the device handles  
complex graphics, and improve download times, but additional memory will not increase maximum  
engine speed (ppm rating).  
A better performing product leads to higher productivity in your workplace. You spend less time waiting  
and output appears more quickly. The HP LaserJet 3050 AiO is optimized for performance, print quality,  
and affordability; it completes complex jobs quickly and without device failures.  
Increase office efficiency  
Fast print and copy speeds  
Increase office efficiency with print and copy speeds up to 19 ppm letter (18 ppm A4). The product  
features Instant-on Technology which uses an inductive heat fuser to virtually eliminate warm-up time  
from both the Ready and PowerSave states.  
The product delivers the first page in less than 8 seconds when printing and less than 14.5 seconds for  
letter-sized documents (14.7 seconds A4) when copying. The predictive ready-to-print algorithm  
processes jobs in parallel with printing and improves the first page out print speed over time. Because  
there is little warm-up time, the product consumes less energy and realizes less wear on the engine.  
Productive faxing  
Fast scanning  
Experience fast processing speeds of up to 33.6 kbps with the Super G3 V.34 fax modem and store up  
to 110 pages of important fax documents. HP LaserJet Fax software allows you to send and receive  
faxes directly from your computer—even from applications like Microsoft® Word or Excel—saving time,  
paper, and printing supplies.  
The 30-sheet ADF processes input at up to 19 images per minute (ipm) letter (18 ppm A4).

Evaluation  
Creating samples  
First, develop a group of sample documents that represent what the end-user typically prints. This is the best  
method for determining if a product is suited to your environment.  
Note  
It is important to test files like those that a typical user will print. Most print samples included with a  
product have been optimized for that product and may not reflect the type of output you will  
receive.  
When evaluating performance, your print samples should include multiple documents and file types, each  
created in the applications that will be used by the end-user. The samples should have different elements  
(text, graphics, and photographic images) and should vary in complexity and page length. Some suggested  
content includes simple text documents, mixed text and graphics, and complex graphics containing  
photographic images.  
CAUTION!  
Using only one application or file can skew test results. Use several types of files and  
applications to present a broad and realistic performance picture.  
Simple—text only  
Mixed—from complex text  
to a mixture of text and  
medium-complexity graphics  
Complex—images and  
advanced graphics (using  
overlays or fill patterns)  
Different manufacturers provide different print quality modes. Try to compare similar modes to achieve a  
fair comparison.  
To evaluate the print quality and speed of text documents, such as those created in Microsoft® Word and  
Excel, you should print them in different print modes. Documents such as newsletters intended for circulation  
or image files, where photo quality is desired, are preferably printed in the best mode.  
When evaluating more than one product, it is crucial that you make a fair comparison between products.  
Print from identical computer systems to ensure speed variations are not due to differences in processing  
power.  
Print the same files on all devices, using the same paper type and the same or equivalent settings. Print  
modes need to be tested separately for each device and compared respectively.  
Use the same operating system and software application and test comparable print drivers. (Each of  
these components interacts with the printing process and can affect performance.)

What to measure  
Using the samples that you created, perform the following tests to gauge device performance.  
First-page-out  
The time from when the print command is issued to a device that is in PowerSave mode until the  
completion of the first page. This test measures the effect of Instant-on Technology and shows a device’s  
true speed.  
Click-to-drop  
The time from when the print command is issued until the completion of the job.  
Pick-to-drop  
The time from when the first piece of media is picked up by the device until the completion of the print job.  
Return-to-application  
The time from when the print command is issued until the time when the computer is available for other  
tasks.  
Running the tests  
Follow the guidelines below when measuring printing performance:  
Be sure to measure the amount of time it takes to print a complete document. (For example, you might  
print an eight-page document with company letterhead on the first page.)  
Note  
A professional printing product is designed to print multiple-page documents. We suggest that you  
print either multiple-page documents or multiple copies of a single page.  
Record any error messages.  
Perform each test three times to obtain an average. If the variances in the three tests are too much,  
discard the result, check the system, and redo the test.  
If the device offers more than one I/O port, perform tests using each port.  
Look at each page to make sure all text and graphics printed correctly. Files that print significantly  
faster on one device might not be printing correctly. Some devices drop complex graphics and images  
when they are unable to process the whole job. Examine output to ensure that the entire document  
printed and that it printed correctly.  
When comparing device performance, look beyond the speed trial data and consider the acceptability  
of the output. There are definitely tradeoffs in print quality, but as you review your results, look at the  
samples and consider whether the quality meets your standards. Also, make sure that toner adheres to  
the paper properly.

Output quality  
Enjoy high-quality output for your office  
There are many different factors to consider when evaluating the overall quality of a product’s output.  
Output quality is more than the number of dots per inch (dpi) that the device places on a page; a higher  
dpi rating does not necessarily mean better output quality.  
The HP LaserJet 3050 AiO features a number of HP technologies to consistently deliver impressive results  
with great-looking documents at an affordable price.  
High-quality printing  
Through innovative engineering, HP FastRes technology delivers outstanding print quality—at engine speed.  
This means you get the high-quality output you have come to expect from HP without degrading  
performance.  
Because HP FastRes technology can represent each dot space as one of 256 levels of gray, the HP LaserJet  
3050 AiO prints incredibly sharp text and graphics. As a result, the professional print quality obtained with  
HP FastRes rivals that of competitive printers with higher dpi specifications—but without the performance  
penalties.  
HP FastRes is the default, out-of-the box print mode. However, for customers desiring the highest level of  
print quality, HP ProRes 1200 provides true 1200 by 1200 dpi.  
HP Print Cartridges with Ultraprecise toner  
The HP LaserJet Q2612A Black Print Cartridge features Ultraprecise toner to ensure consistent, top-quality  
output. Cartridges are designed to deliver quality and reliability over the life of each print cartridge, and  
from cartridge to cartridge. The HP print cartridge, product, and software are designed to work together to  
deliver optimal print quality.  
Professional copying, scanning, and faxing  
The color scanner converts printed material to digital information at high fidelity, with up to 600 by  
600 dpi optical resolution, 24-bit depth, or up to 19,200 dpi enhanced resolution. You can make  
impressive copies at up to 600 by 600 dpi, and send and receive faxes at up to 300 by 300 dpi.  
To ensure exceptional results, HP’s LaserJet Scan software includes scan-to application, multi-photo scan  
with auto-detection of individual images, intelligent scanning to recognize the difference between text,  
lines, and images, with optical character recognition for text editing capability, automatic scan  
calibration, automatic image straightening, automatic cropping, and automatic image enhancement.

Ensured print quality with HP testing  
Prior to its introduction, a new HP LaserJet All-in-One undergoes rigorous HP testing to ensure that it  
provides consistent high-quality output. Tests are performed with a large sample of products through each  
step of the design process, to be certain that the All-in-One measures up to HP standards. Throughout this  
testing, HP discovers and resolves any issues that would compromise output quality. The result is a solid,  
reliable product that produces consistent, excellent print throughout its life and the life of its supplies.  
Evaluation  
Printing samples  
It is important to test files like those generated at your workplace. Most print quality files or print samples  
included with a product have been optimized for that product and may not reflect the type of output you  
will receive. You might want to use the print samples that you created for evaluating performance (see  
“Creating samples” on page 14). Follow these guidelines for creating sample documents:  
When evaluating more than one product’s output quality, it is crucial that you make a fair comparison  
between products. Print the same files on all products, using the same or equivalent settings. Use the  
same operating system and software application, and be sure to test comparable print drivers. (Each of  
these components interacts with the printing process and can affect output quality.)  
Use more than one software application to make sure software/driver conflicts are not affecting output  
quality.  
Plain papers vary among brands and the regions in which they are manufactured. Some plain papers  
have a preferred print side. You should also take into account storage conditions as well as how the  
papers handle toner.  
Temperature and humidity should be kept constant for each product tested. These factors can have an  
impact on final output quality.  
Viewing samples  
Ideally, output quality should be evaluated under a mix of fluorescent and incandescent lighting. Print  
quality should not be evaluated too close to windows, since natural light changes dramatically with  
variations in weather and time of day.  
In addition, the color of the surrounding area can significantly affect quality perception. White surroundings  
may call undue attention to the color of the media. Medium or light gray is usually the best choice for the  
area surrounding where the sample documents will be evaluated.  
Individuals may perceive print quality differently. HP suggests that you have several people evaluate your  
sample documents, in the same environment, with a consistent light source. Have them vote on the samples  
that they like by listing them in order from the best to the worst. Allow each person to rate the samples  
independently and then record the results. Also, have each person establish a cut line for acceptable print  
quality for the end-user environment.  
Note  
This process is referred to as psychometric testing and should be performed on all of the sample  
documents that you are using to evaluate text, graphics, and image quality.

Evaluating output quality  
When you evaluate output quality, avoid magnification, which can draw attention to insignificant  
differences. However, careful inspection is still necessary, and when doing this, look for the following  
characteristics:  
Text quality—  
Text should be dark, not faded, and solid black, without  
hollow spots.  
Hollow spots:  
Jagged edges:  
Toner scatter:  
Edges should be crisp and smooth, not jagged.  
There should be little or no toner scattered on the non-printed  
areas of the paper.  
Reverse text should be fully visible, with no filling lines. Portrait  
and landscape text should have the same print quality.  
Graphics quality—  
Fine lines should be distinct, not  
blending into each other or dropping  
out.  
Solid black areas should be  
consistent to the eye, with no lighter  
shades or lines.  
Missing lines,  
bad detail  
Distinct lines,  
good detail  
Solid black areas should not appear  
glossy. This reduces readability.  
There should be no bands across  
graphics.  
Image quality—  
Images should be clear and sharp.  
Poor image  
quality  
Good image  
quality  
There should be no bands across  
images.  
There should be no graininess or  
visibility of dots.  
Gray shading should go from light to  
dark in many layers, giving detail  
and depth to the image.  
Evaluating copy quality  
Copy the type of material typical for your office.  
Does the copy quality meet your expectations?  
How easy is it to adjust image quality and select output options from the control panel?  
Does it take multiple adjustments and multiple copies to get good copy quality?

Evaluating scan quality  
Scan the type of material typical for your office.  
Does the quality of the scanned image meet your expectations?  
Are there options for scanning specific document and image types?  
How easy is it to adjust image quality and select output options from the control panel?  
Does it take multiple adjustments and multiple scans to get good quality?  
Evaluating document durability and usability  
After you have finished evaluating the output quality of your samples, evaluate the documents’ durability  
and usability. Test the following:  
Can the printed output be fed through a copier without being damaged?  
Will the printed output smear with moisture?  
Can the printed output be easily scratched, melted, or otherwise damaged?  
Is the printed output durable? Can it be folded?

Total cost of ownership  
HP LaserJet quality and dependability in an affordable design  
For many businesses, the total cost of ownership (TCO) is a critical part of the purchase decision. TCO  
takes into account everything from the initial investment, to support and maintenance costs, to the costs of  
supplies. The HP LaserJet 3050 AiO has a competitive overall purchase price and includes a number of  
features that add up to significant cost savings over time. The product provides a simple office solution at a  
great price, delivering fast, high-quality laser printing and copying and easy faxing and scanning.  
Simplify, save time, and reduce costs  
By supporting one device rather than multiple devices, you can reduce costs by managing fewer  
supplies and minimizing storage requirements and service interruptions.  
Use less power—the product’s PowerSave mode conserves energy during periods of device inactivity.  
With Instant-on Technology, fuser warm-up time is virtually eliminated. Because the fuser does not need  
to be kept warm and requires little warm-up time, the product consumes less energy and saves money,  
while performance remains unaffected.  
You can print in EconoMode to use less toner, extend the life of your print cartridge, and reduce the  
cost per page. EconoMode produces a lighter printed image that is suitable for drafts and proofs.  
HP printing supplies are designed to maintain a low cost of ownership and minimize user interaction,  
which saves time and improves productivity.  
The familiar HP interface is preferred by most office users and requires little or no training.  
Paper handling options, a low-maintenance design, and HP ToolboxFX save time and money and keep  
your office productive. HP ToolboxFX lets you check device status, configure settings, set up automatic  
alerts, order supplies online, and view self-help information, troubleshooting tips, and online  
documentation. For more information, see “HP ToolboxFX” on page 22.  
Use HP Web Jetadmin to efficiently manage fleets of network peripherals. HP Web Jetadmin provides  
network managers a single support tool to install, monitor, and troubleshoot a wide range of network-  
connected devices from an intuitive browser interface. For more information, see “HP Web Jetadmin”  
HP dependability  
By far the biggest contributor to user productivity is the reliability of HP equipment, support, and service.  
Instead of experiencing frustration and downtime while waiting for repairs, users are getting their work  
done.

Evaluation  
Total cost of ownership is more than just purchase price and cost per page. To calculate the true total cost  
of ownership, consider the following factors:  
Initial purchase price, including enough memory to process complex documents.  
Note  
To ensure accurate comparisons between products, be sure to compare street prices (or what the  
customer actually pays) rather than list prices.  
Warranty and service costs.  
Energy consumption costs. (Some manufacturers require you to choose between fast warm-up times and  
energy efficiency, while HP offers both.)  
User productivity costs. (How easy is it to learn to use the product? How easy is it to print your  
documents correctly?)  
Special paper costs. (Does the product require special paper? Can recycled paper be used?)  
Supplies costs. (Do you have to purchase a starter kit? Does the product come with demonstration  
supplies that have a reduced life? What does it cost, in both expense and downtime, to replace  
supplies?)  
Cost per page.  
It is difficult for end-users to calculate the cost per page due to many variables. Therefore, many  
manufacturers provide a cost per page calculation. When assessing cost per page, keep the following  
in mind:  
Make sure the cost per page associated with a product’s print sample represents that sample. Some  
manufacturers may quote the cost of printing in a draft mode, when the sample they give you is  
printed in their best mode, which requires more toner or ink.  
Take note of whether special paper is required for the print sample.  
Make sure all the supplies are included in the cost per page calculation and not hidden as service  
items. Also, remember that supplies used during routine cleaning and warm-up cycles are not  
always included in the supply’s yield, which directly affects cost.  
Watch for other hidden costs (such as unusable output, which wastes toner).

HP Embedded Web Server for Macintosh  
For Macintosh operating systems, the device features an embedded Web server, which allows access to  
information about device activities. A Web server provides an environment in which Web programs may  
run, much in the same way that an operating system, such as Macintosh, provides an environment for  
programs to run on your computer. The output from these programs can then be displayed by a Web  
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, or Netscape Navigator.  
An embedded Web server resides on a hardware device (such as a printer) or in firmware, rather than as  
software that is loaded on a network server. The advantage of an embedded Web server is that it provides  
an interface to the device for Macintosh users connected via USB. There is no special software to install or  
configure, but you must have a supported Web browser on your computer.  
The HP Embedded Web Server allows you to view device status and manage printing functions from your  
computer. With the HP Embedded Web Server, you can do the following:  
View device status information  
View and change tray configurations  
View and change some fields of the device control panel menu configuration  
View and print internal pages  
Add or customize links to other Web sites  
Select the language in which to display the embedded Web server pages  
View and change network configuration  
View support content that is device-specific and specific to the device’s current state  
Note  
For a complete explanation of the features and functionality of the HP Embedded Web Server, see  
the HP Embedded Web Server online Help.  
Accessing the HP Embedded Web Server  
You can access the HP Embedded Web Server in the following ways:  
From a Web browser  
In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address assigned to the device. For  
example:, if the device’s IP address is 123.456.789.123, you would type “http://123.456.789.123”  
into your Web browser’s Address or Go to field. (The device IP address is listed on the Network  
Configuration page.)  
From HP Web Jetadmin  
From the Device Configuration application over USB  
Note  
After you access the HP Embedded Web Server, you can bookmark it in your browser so that you  
can return to it quickly in the future.
