In May 2019, HP released the Chuang series laser printer, opening the era of the printer "Laser Big Toner Warehouse 1.0", and pioneering the "Smart Flash Charge" technology, the original supplies that come with it can achieve a large print volume of 5,000 pages, and also allow the laser printer to achieve rapid powder filling, 15 seconds can make the Chuang series print and "full blood resurrection"!
Time came to three years later in late February 2022, HP redefined the creation of a series of printers, released 8 "laser large toner warehouse 2.0" printer new products, in the continuation of the tradition: 5000 pages of large toner warehouse large print volume, toner rapid flash charging, low-cost printing and other advantages, of which 4 new products also fully support automatic double-sided printing function, the small and medium-sized enterprise users use the pain points of printing products fully "poke".
Below, we take the HPTronic Series LaserJet Tank MFP 2606sdw printer as an example (the top-of-the-line model in the new product, hereinafter referred to as the HPTronic Series 2606sdw Printer) to experience its improvement and change together.
The laser large toner warehouse directly hits the pain points of small and medium-sized enterprise users
The original consumables are expensive, which is the common cognition of most consumers and users of printer consumables, which has given rise to third-party consumables and the phenomenon of illegal "powder filling" of original consumables.
However, third-party consumables can not guarantee the printing quality, durability, etc. of the original consumables, and the "powder filling" may also destroy the sealing of the original consumables, and it is not good for the user's health, which will seriously cause printer jams and even hardware damage. Some users have suffered a big loss for coveting a temporary cheapness.
If you insist on using original consumables, you can not only guarantee the quality of the print, but also ensure the life cycle of the printer, and you can get the official warranty service.
HPTron Series printers are safely charged
Hp Chuang series printers equipped with large toner cartridge technology, random supplies can achieve 5000 pages of printing volume, greatly reducing the original toner single page printing costs, the single page printing cost down to 0.03 yuan / page, that is, 3 cents, to the low cost of printing consumables, can fundamentally avoid the user "covet" cheap and choose third-party consumables phenomenon.
In addition, the new generation of Chuang series printers will increase the imaging drum life from 20,000 pages to 50,000 pages, from traditional consumable positioning to accessories, so that users can use a longer period of time without replacement, basically can achieve "maintenance-free".
Thanks to the laser printing technology itself, its stable, reliable and efficient output capabilities are also one of the main reasons suitable for enterprise users. In order to ensure reading consistency, we will later fully experience the printing speed and quality of HPTron series 2606sdw printers.
Smart flash charge 15 seconds "full blood resurrection"
HP Tronic series 2606sdw printer 5000 pages large toner cartridge design, can ensure the general small and medium-sized enterprises a longer use time, to the general month printed 400 pages calculation, 5000 pages can guarantee 1 year of use, durability is very high.
When the toner is consumed, the original HP toner cartridge is inserted into the blue powder filling mouth on the body of the HP 2606sdw printer, and the filling process can be completed in just 15 seconds, and the whole process is guaranteed to be environmentally friendly and harmless, and no dirty hands.
Lift the ADF area and output tray of the HPTron 2606sdw printer to see the blue powder filling port, and the process of filling is marked with a diagram next to it:
Turn on the power;
If you can fill the powder, the upper left corner of the blue powder filling mouth will display the unlock pattern (not currently allowed);
Shake the Original HP Toner Cartridge;
Insert the toner cartridge into the filling port and rotate counterclockwise to lock;
Squeeze the toner cartridge by hand to accelerate the injection of toner into the filling port;
After filling, rotate the toner cartridge clockwise, unplug and the filling process is complete.
Compared to the previous generation of powder filling technology, the toner cartridge has been upgraded. In addition to the design changes, reducing the use of plastics and being more environmentally friendly, the filling process of hp Tronic series 2606sdw printers is also more convenient and labor-saving, and women in the workplace can also quickly complete the powder filling process.
On the left side of the output tray of the HP Tron Series 2606sdw printer, there is a screen for displaying toner usage, so users can intuitively understand the toner usage in real time and prepare the toner cartridges that need to be replenished in advance.
According to the different needs of users, the new generation of HPTronic series printers provides two sizes of toner cartridges, namely LaserJet Tank 158X and LaserJet Tank 158A, which can supplement 5000 pages and 2500 pages of toner usage, respectively.
Intelligent flash charging powder cartridge, corresponding to printing 5000 pages / 2500 yield
Since the HP Tron Series 2606sdw printer can only be powdered when the toner is consumed to a certain extent, it is impossible to experience the convenience of filling, and we can only simulate the process of filling the powder.
A variety of conveniences designed for the office
In addition to the larger laser toner cartridge design and the features of a 15-second toner flash charge, the HP Tron Series 2606sdw printer has many more practical features designed for small and medium-sized businesses.
The 8 HP Genesis printers of the Laser Big Toner Cartridge 2.0 feature three different appearance and function designs, including a single-function printer with an A4 paper-sized appearance, an all-in-one printer that combines printing, copying, and scanning; and a product like the HPTron 2606sdw printer that combines the above features and is equipped with an ADF automatic document feeder.
The ADF of hp tronix series 2606sdw printer can achieve 40 pages of continuous paper feeding, and enterprises usually have to scan some documents, bills and other information in batches, which can be completed quickly, without the need for manual scanning one by one as in the past. At the same time, it is also equipped with a flatbed scan, which can be used to copy IC cards, ID cards, and can copy the front and back to the same side of A4 paper, which is very friendly to the administrative staff of the enterprise.
IC card, ID card double-sided scanning display
In terms of overall color matching, HP Tronic series 2606sdw printers continue the overall style of the previous generation of products, and can be more easily adapted to various decoration styles of offices.
The 250-sheet input tray, combined with the auto-duplex feature of the HP Tron Series 2606sdw printer, guarantees the need to add paper for an extended period of time. The control panel is located above the input tray, which is a clever design that allows the fuselage to maintain better neatness.
Printing is easier and more comprehensive
Because it is a "top-of-the-line" model, the HPTronic Series 2606sdw printer has a comprehensive printing connection method: traditional USB, wired network mode, as well as Wi-Fi direct printing, HP Smart App printer, WeChat Mini Program printing, etc. (Wi-Fi supports dual-band Wi-Fi), we focus on the latter two printing connection methods.
HP Smart App interface
HP Smart App connection process is relatively simple, follow the App boot to complete the connection, if due to network problems can not complete the printer search, you can manually enter the printer IP address, you can add a printer. The specific operation mode can be quickly completed by following the prompts of the App interface.

After successfully adding the HP Tron series 2606sdw printer in the HP Cloud Printing Mini Program, the author also actually experienced the cloud printing document, after actual testing, from sending the printing instruction, to the document output from the HP Tron 2606sdw printer (the document is a total of 3 pages), it takes about 30 seconds. One thing that needs to be prompted is that due to network factors, cloud printing may not be as fast as Wi-Fi printing, depending on the network conditions of the use environment.
HP Cloud Print Mini Program prints Word documents
After the printing is successful, WeChat receives a prompt of "Service Notification", prompting that the printing is successful.
Speed up by 10%, print speed and upgrade
Compared with the previous generation, the new generation of HPTronic Series 2606sdw printers has a higher printing speed improvement, reaching 22 pages per minute in standard mode, which is 10% faster.
Measured, the HP Tron Series 2606sdw printer has a single-sided printing speed of 22.1 pages per minute in standard mode and 15.2 pages per minute (7.6 x duplexes) in duplex printing.
In terms of copying, the copy function on the control panel of the HPTron 2606sdw printer is used, all of which are the default settings, and the measured copy speed is 21.9 pages per minute.
In terms of scanning, the ADF unit of the HPTronic Series 2606sdw printer is used for continuous scanning, and the measured scanning speed is 21.0 pages per minute in 150dpi, gray, and document mode, and 17.6 pages/minute in 300dpi, gray, document mode.
Laser printing quality is higher
The advantage of laser printing technology is stable and efficient output capacity, which is better than inkjet technology in printing accuracy, let's take a look at the measured samples.
The following is a sample of hp's 2606sdw printer printed in standard mode and scanned in 300dpi, gray, document mode using the ADF unit.
In addition, the author also experienced the flatbed scanning of the HP Tronic series 2606sdw printer, with a scanning accuracy of 600dpi, gray, and photo mode.
It can be seen that the sample printed by the HPTronic Series 2606sdw printer is clear, precise, burr-free, and the contrast is precise. Among them, the very small No. 2 character can be clearly distinguished.
Interpretation: In general, we use A4 paper to print office documents, font size between 8-15, the top of the "PConline Evaluation Laboratory" font size, from left to right in order of 1, 2, 3... Character No. 9, "Lin Juemin's "Letter to His Wife"" is 15 characters. Among them, fonts smaller than 6 font sizes need to be carefully confirmed by the naked eye at close range, and they are basically not used in actual office documents.
