HP e3000 Business Servers Configuration Guide – Effective 7/03 

 

 

Three categories of printers are supported directly connected to HP e3000 Series 900 systems.  
•  Character printers tend to be less expensive yet versatile in capabilities, including the handling of multi-part 

forms.  

•  Line printers offer much of the same versatility and provide the lowest cost of operation and a highly 

reliable technology for larger volumes of printing. Some impact printers are as quiet as the HP LaserJet 4Si 

printer is, so they are suited to operate in office environments.  

•  Laser printers are quieter in the office environment and offer crisp, letter-quality output in a range of print 

speeds. High-speed page printers are most efficient for centralized production jobs, such as billing, 

invoicing, or mass customer communications.

The HP LineJet Printers (line impact printers) combine versatility at reasonable cost with good print speed.  

Versatility can include graphics image and bar code printing and the ability to trade speed for better print 

quality.  Good print speed means that a line impact printer can be used as the only printer on a system with 

modest-to-average printing requirements. 

 

The HP LineJet printers combine print speed, flexibility, lowest print cost for volume range and great 

reliability even for heavy duty cycles and burst throughputs (unattended operation).  Flexibility includes 

resolution form sparse to NLQ, raster and industrial graphics as well as electronic forms creation ability 

(requires the HP QMS or PGL  graphics upgrade kit), multiple-part forms (up to 6 parts), noise ranges starting 

from 50 dBA, barcodes, postnet, and many font sizes and languages. 

 

There are HP LineJet printers for office and for harsh environments.  LineJet printers provide a wide range of 

connectivity from serial, parallel, and LAN interface via the LineJet Printer Manager or HP JetDirect EX.  

LineJet printers are ideal for data processing centers, accounting, checks, invoices, reports, distribution, 

circulation or where bar codes and automated identification process is needed. 

 

With full-featured SAP R/3 system device types now available, the HP LineJet printers integrate directly with 

SAP applications.  Reports, forms and bar code labels can be created in SAP R/3’s applications and be printed 

on the LineJet printers without the need for additional printing middleware. 

 

Targeted at the enterprise computing marketing, HP’s LineJet printers provide high speed, reliable printing, 

especially for large, business critical print environments. The HP LineJet printers are for any application 

where good print quality and very low printing cost is required.
