HP Laser Printer’s TCU or Toner Collection Unit

Ever heard of the term TCU or Toner Collection Unit? It’s specifically common to printers manufactured by Hewlett-Packard. Although not all models and make do have this component since they can still work and perform print tasks even without it. Most models that feature TCU typically come from the LaserJet Series such as CP-3525, CP-4025 and CM-3530 units.

What exactly is this TCU component?

TCU stands for toner collection unit and it is the part of a printer that is responsible for collecting debris like paper sheets and toner dust during printing operation. It is also a replaceable item just like the HP CM3530 toner cartridges and drum unit you often purchase for your unit. Similarly, it also has its own end-of-life expectancy from which once the item reached its limit, the user is then required to replace it.

Is it necessary for the printer to have it?

Actually HP is not the only manufacturer that has these printers equipped with TCU. It’s possible that the printer model you are using right now includes the said component, and you weren't just aware. Yes, there are certain laser printers that have this special printing mechanism wherein it keeps the paper path free from any debris that may negatively affect the print quality. However, some models cannot perform the same, hence they need the TCU.

What does it really do?

We've mentioned that it collects debris generated during a print task, but how exactly does it happen. When the unit is printing, some fibers from the sheet, as well as toner particles can get stock on the transfer belt. The TCU cleans this part through a blade-like component that sweeps off the debris and drag it into the toner collection unit. Now your next document to print won’t have much print error such as streaks, black lines and specks. If you want you can also replace the TCU if necessary.

How can I find it inside my printer?

Well basically, some HP laser models come with a built-in toner collection unit. There are also some printers wherein instead on the machine, the TCU is built into the toner cartridge consumables. Also, you can practically check the maintenance kit you’re using as it can be incorporated into the packaged.

Fold, Clip and Change Your Laser Printer's Paper Cover With Samsung Origami

Compact printers are very much preferred nowadays especially by most individuals working at home, or someone who just wants to have a personal printer. Mainly to minimize the amount of space that will be consumed by the device. Printers built with smaller dimensions are basically for low-level printing capacity, since they are not suppose to handle heavy amount of paper loads.

Compact Laserjet Printers

Another advantage of having a compact printer aside from the fact that it's essentially small, users can easily move the device from one place to another simply because it's lighter. But what if you can have a laser printer that is more than just compact and lighter, but foldable as well. Well actually not the printer itself but its chassis or cover. Has anyone ever fold a laserjet whether it's equipped with laser toner cartridge or not, there's no one right? However, these printers are so eco-friendly that their chassis were actually made out of recycled cardboard materials.

Learn More About Ghost Printing And How To Fix It

Repeating images, ghost printing, or just ghosting, these are some of the terms commonly used to describe a printer problem where prints appeared on a page for more than once, twice or more. Though this problem may not occur as often as you get paper jams, might as well learn how to handle it.

 

What Is Ghost Printing?

Ghost Printing is a problem mostly typical to laserjet printers. Noticeable gray scale prints that come after the original image or text, this is a very obvious symptom to describe such condition. It was referred to as "Ghosting" since the repeated images/text appear lighter or less darker which is a common description for ghost figures.

Two New Monochrome Laser Printers From Dell Targetting SOHO Businesses

Today's post will give you a brief introduction to Dell's most recent laser printers which were released first week of this month, June 04,2013 to be exact. Both printers are now available in the market, sporting decent specs and set of functionality suitable for SOHO market. The two models offer monochrome laser printing technology which requires a single black laser toner cartridge equipped with a fuser that works for a lifetime. One of their notable feature is the support for Dell's Printer Easy WiFi Installer.

Dell B1165nfw Mono MFP

As a multifunction printer the B1165nfw supports basic functionality such as printing, scanning, copying and fax. It's a good thing they included fax capability with this one, considering that most mono laser printers in its range lacks the said feature. Its built is simply elegant, the chassis has nice curves and edges in matte finish black coating. There's also this adjustable calculator-like control panel installed from its far right edge.

General Information About Print Cost And Printer Catridges

When it comes to purchasing printer supplies, there's a common notion to many when they heard about the word "cheap". Generally, it means an item or product can be purchased at a bargain price. However, brand manufacturers in the print industry are not in favor of non-original cartridges, hence myths spread out about the disadvantages of using such products. Take note that cheap ink and toner cartridges are not always as substandard as you might have thought. Print cost is primarily our concern, and most users could attest about the great reduction in their overall printing cost when using those what they call cheap cartridges.

Both the cost of cartridges and number of prints you get from each influence the machine's print cost. Let's say you're using an original cartridge, too pricey isn't it, but the yields were good enough. Then, comparing it to a low-price cartridge delivering almost exactly the same yield as the original. The print cost generated from using the original is more likely bigger over the cost you get from using the other one. Which among these two options will give you much savings in the long run?

Laser Type Printers Can Also Be Used As Home Or Personal Printer

When it comes to cost in terms of purchasing printer consumables, inkjet type printers are more costly to run. Professionals who are into photographic printing certainly rely in colour printing, hence it's more appropriate on their part to use an inkjet. It's actually a part of their job to ignore the price of ink cartridges in the market, unless they would settle on sub par print quality. But assuming they would, do you think customers would be satisfied, your answer is precisely the thing they're avoiding. As much as possible, as an artist who's printing has been a task on a daily basis, quality should not be compromised. Aside from business purposes inkjets are also common as a personal printer. Home printing is indeed versatile, and a flexible printer that can accommodate such needs of all the family member is best suited for an inkjet. While a laser type printer leans toward providing high-level printing particularly to business and office establishments.

Lasers are mainly used for monochrome printing, text and non-graphical documents in black&white are the expertise of a laser printer. The fact that it can churn out prints in a much compelling speed and has more capacity, such factors are what a busy printing environment would demand. In addition, laser toner cartridges are generally retailed for much lower prices compared to ink cartridges. If you might notice, ink cartridges easily run empty of inks which results to buying replacements frequently. Whereas toner cartridges may run a hundred more print cycles before it gets empty, probably sounds more efficient.

The market of today's print industry is somehow peculiar, printer manufacturers are displaying brand new printers in their shelves, yet the consumers are more likely concern of the unit's cartridges. It's not even surprising, besides you'll just have to pay once for the machine, hence you should be mindful of the cost you will eventually face in the long run. This perhaps leads to a shift in wave where laser printers are now being used for personal and home printing. Since colour laser printers are commonly available and are capable of producing average color printout quality. Added those manufacturers that are targeting home printing needs by catering laser and LED type printers that can matched up with most high-end inkjets.

It's not that the era of inks is coming to an end, cause it never will, there are certain features a laser does not support that an inkjet can provide, and vice versa. Besides, we can't deny that even the latest laser printer in the market today can't even outperform what an inkjet printer is good at, especially when it comes to photo printing.

The Battle Between OEMs and Compatible Printer Cartridges

Since there are still a lot of arguments whether to choose the path of using compatible printer cartridges or not, this make users more confused. Whilst each kind may offer advantages as well as disadvantages, by tackling these issues perhaps we can at least have a more informed decision. Also, there are certain considerations that we users should know before making any conclusion.

Printing in large volumes may tend to generate recurring expenses from purchasing replacements, the disadvantage of using branded cartridges is the price you'll have to pay for each piece or each set. Whereas using compatible toner cartridges and ink cartridges can minimize such expense by less than 30% approximately. Why are these compatible supplies less inexpensive compared to branded ones? Here's the answer, original cartridges are basically produced from resources such as natural materials and minerals, hence it requires greater man power and production cost. While our contender which is the compatible, these products are made from used original cartridges, take note of the word original, thus they're also known as remanufactured toner cartridges and inks. It's more of like a third party manufacturer reused post-consumer wastes for the production of compatible supplies. In conclusion, OEMs (original equipment manufacturer) come in high prices because consumers are not only paying for the brand name, but also for the whole manufacturing process and gathering of materials.

In terms of quality, printouts made from original cartridges are mostly excellent, period. Now if you may ask, does a compatible cartridge can't offer the same performance and quality just as a branded? Let's put it this way, compatibles are not original, hence if they can provide exactly what a high-priced cartridge could offer then there's no need to point out their differences. Although there were a few testimonials from customers claiming about the surprising performance and printout quality that a compatible can provide. If you try to conduct your own test, say, two printers having two different cartridges, one with an OEM and the other with a compatible. Whatever type of file you print, it's either the branded will produce a more pleasing result, or the match will end up with a draw result. Why are compatible cartridges producing below of par prints? Actually you can answer this question all by yourself, call it a trade-off, you pay less and so you'll get less. Since the price of a compatible cartridge is roughly 30-50% less cheaper, it's basically common to expect a bit of a cut in quality. But in terms of capacity or yield, our contender can certainly beat the champion.

Opting to compatibles is not too easy especially for users who owns a latest printer, since third party manufacturers can't easily cope with the sustainability along with the trending machines. The only snag about OEMs is their exorbitant prices, unless those big names in the print industry would make a big price cut in their printer supplies.

The Black Tape Trick To Bypass Low Toner Level On Brother Printers

Printer consumables particularly ink and toner cartridges are typically expensive, hence if there's any possible way to at least stretch their useful life, more likely, a lot of users would be glad to know it. On HP printers, one simple way to bypass the chip sensor from the cartridges is by disabling the device's ink/toner monitoring system. While for Brother printers, the sensors are embedded on both the machine and the cartridge. It's actually a pair, the sensor from the printer reads the other sensor from the cartridge, thus we can say that there's a communication that may exist between these two. As a printer user, we can take advantage of this knowledge and use it on our favor.

Once the installed cartridge reaches a certain level of remaining ink, it triggers the other sensor from the printer and eventually a low toner warning will then be prompted to the user. However, even if it prompts you with low toner level, the sensor's reading is not as accurate as it may seems, and in fact there's a lot more of toner inside the cartridge that you may consume to produce more prints. But we can't just remove the sensors, one main reason is that by doing such thing, it will certainly void the warranty of your machine or it's possible that the printer may failed to work properly.

Instead of getting your hands dirty, here's a very simple way to bypass the sensor from your Brother toner cartridges and printer as well. Technical skills is not essentially required, but at least you should be familiar with the parts and components of the machine that you'll be tinkering. First you have to prepare a short strip of black electrical tape, the cartridges and of course the printer. Make sure that the machine is already turn OFF, if not, unplug it from the outlet and let it rest for a bit to discharge electrostatic charges.

Now to start, you must take note that the sensor has a diameter of about 3/8-inch and commonly installed from either side of the cartridge. Here's a simple way to determine which side of the cartridge is its left or right, notice the side with visible gears, generally that's the left side, thus the other one is the right. If you're not sure how the sensor looks like, position the cartridge to its slot like you're about to re-install it, then try to notice the sensor hole from the printer. The two sensors should match especially with color printers, there should be four holes for each CMYK cartridges.

Here's the tricky part, cut a piece of black electrical tape enough to cover the sensor hole found in the printer, then do the same to the sensor from the cartridges. This trick works effectively with both sensors being covered, whilst it will also work if you can only tape either sensors. If you need to replace the cartridges with empty toners, you have to do the same thing with all the replacements.

Dell B1165nfw Monochrome Multifunction Laser Printer

The new addition to Dell's growing line of MFP mono laser printer, the Dell B1165nfw B&W multifunction printer. It has a light and modern built suitable as a personal print device for home use, and can also work as a shared printer in any small-size office. Features doesn't seem to exhibit quite a leap, but considering its price, it's actually one of the most affordable MFP you'll ever find in the market.

Functions such as print, copy, scan and fax, all in its compact and portable body. It suits well in any micro-office, given that it can print, fax and scan from a PC as well as over a network. Even without a PC, the B1165nfw can be used as a standalone copier and fax machine, which most office would likely need. Paper handling is a bit flimsy, that's why it's more essential as a personal printer, with a standard input tray capacity of 150 sheets (no optional tray available).

Another reason that defines the B1165nfw as a light-duty device is the lack of duplexing (double-sided printing) feature. Hence if you're used to a printer with automatic duplexer, this one might change things around, whilst it's not a big deal if it sits just beside your desk. One of its pros is a 40-page ADF (automatic-document feeder) that supports letter-size and legal-size documents.

The Dell B1165nfw's print engine has a quoted speed of  21ppm (pages-per-minute) which is fairly nice since it's not intended to use for medium-capacity printing. Options for connectivity include, USB 2.0 port, Ethernet, and WiFi which also supports WiFi Direct. For mobile printing features, these are the apps you might want to consider : Google Cloud Print, Apple AirPrint, and Dell's Android app, any of these enables you to print over a wireless connection. No need to worry about the consumables as it only requires single black/mono laser toner cartridges, however replacing it can be annoying only if you print or copy for more than 30 pages a day.

For offices with medium-duty printing, it's pretty obvious that the Dell B1165nfw Monochrome laser printer is primarily not to be included in your list. While for home or personal printing needs, this machine serves essentially what you need, from print speed, capacity, set of features and output quality. A compact and well-rounded printer preferably for light-duty use at such a low price.

Dell B5460DN Monochrome Laser Printer

Dell finally came out with a new printer that immensely matched the speed of a few laser printers that offer 60ppm printing speed. The Dell B5460dn Monochrome Laser printer offers a speed of 60 pages-per-minute with some great features at a considerable price. If you have read our previous review for Dell B5460dnf MFP, the one with an extremely large color touchscreen LCD, it's a bit over rated at 70ppm (mono printing).

It's a mono laser printer mainly for high-level printing which is mostly required in large workgroups and offices. The B5460dn is not just a heavy-duty machine as it's literally great in weight at 52 pounds. What's actually nice to it is its all black coat that perfectly suit any professional environment. The printer's front panel consists of a 2.4 inch LCD which is unfortunately not a touchscreen type, plus 4 arrow keys and alphanumeric keypad situated at its right side.

Paper capacity is very much sufficient with a total of 650-sheet which includes a 550-sheet main input tray and a 100-sheet supporting input tray. An automatic duplexer is readily available for printing on both sides of a page. An optional paper tray has a capacity of 2,100-sheet, and if it's not enough you can max it up to 4,400 sheets by getting the additional three 550-sheet trays. It's way too capacious for a mid-sized office, hence it defines the printer's ground as a really high-capacity printer.

When it comes to connectivity, its interfaces are partly limited to a USB host and an Ethernet, quite disappointing since some offices may take advantage of its printing capacity through setting the machine over a wireless network to work as a shared printer. Though the Ethernet may also be use for such purpose. Also, with the use of Dell's Mobile Print application, users with either Android or iOS powered devices may print directly to the printer.

The Dell B5460dn works with extra high-yield laser toner cartridges, and together with its fuser and drum unit, the printer's running cost is basically a penny. This huge machine is definitely one of the mono laser printers in its range that offers the possibly lowest running cost. Well, since most printers in this class are focusing in speed and functionality, printout quality is just enough to be rated as standard. It's still inconsiderable that output quality is falls in a standard level, however the B5460dn's terrible speed and capacity make a good balance.

Canon Color imageClass MF8580cdw All-In-One Laser Printer

For today's featured printer, we've got a new addition to the growing family of imageClass series, the Canon Color imageClass MF8580cdw, a multifunction printer which makes a good fit for micro offices and small workgroups. Just like any other MFP printers, it serves as a pritner, scanner, copier and works as a standalone fax machine. With an average output quality and a decent speed which make the printer a tough contender in its class.

The MF8580cdw printer sports a combination of off-white and black coated chassis, has a dimension of (HWD) 17" x 19.1" x 18.9", and measures at approximately 68 pounds. It doesn't feature a full touchscreen LCD, instead a seven-line display surrounded with control buttons, plus an alphanumeric keypad on its right. This printer is capable of scanning in to two PCs through the two scan-labeled buttons on its front panel.

It features an automatic document feeder (ADF) for duplex or double-sided printing, which can handle 50 sheets of plain paper for printing, scanning, copying, and faxing multipage documents. Included in its paper handling interface is a standard main tray to hold 250 sheets, plus a 50-sheet multipurpose feeder. If you can't get enough of it, you can purchase the optional 250-sheet plain paper tray to max its capacity. Paper output supports a 125-sheet face down tray.

Connectivity interfaces include : high-speed USB connectivity, and a port just below the printer's front panel for reading USB flash drives, built-in Ethernet and WiFi support for either wired or wireless connection. Its laser toner cartridges yield approximately  up to 3,400 pages with the black toner, while the other three colors has a page-yield up to 2,900 pages.

The imageClass MF8580cdw is set to print in duplex (double-sided) as a default mode, so if you want to really save paper and toners, better keep it as it is. Switching from two-side to one-sided printing is definitely easy for a first time user, so you can switch anytime you needed. Canon rated the printer at a print speed of up to 21 ppm (one-sided) and 10 ppm (double-sided) printing.

As a color MFP printer, Canon Color imageClass MF8580cdw is a well rounder that offers a nice set of features for micro offices and small workgroups. However the price may be somewhat hefty, I won't state figures here, but guess it's considerable for a high-end color printer from Canon.

Brother HL-3170CDW Digital Color LED Printer Supports WiFi Direct

Here's a follow up post for Brother HL-3170CDW Color LED Printer. If you want to read first my previous write ups related to this model, check out these two links for additional information -- Brother HL-3140CW And Brother HL-3170CDW LED Printers, this one gives the basic specifications for both HL-3140CW and HL-3170CDW, while this : Brother HL-3000 Series A Range Of Digital Color LED Laser Printers , was just a brief introduction for the two models.

The Brother HL-3170CDW offers convenience in many ways, aside from its affordable market price. A printer more likely suitable for small working environments like micro-offices. It is capable to work as shared printer in the office supporting a small to medium-sized workgroup. Connect the printer to a network via WiFi, or if by any chance there's no possible wireless connection, the Ethernet can be used as a workaround to connect it on a wired network. It also allows printing from the cloud with your smartphones and tablets thru WiFi Direct.

For those who have no idea, LED printers work just like a laser printer in terms of speed, though instead of lasers, they use LEDs to create printouts. The HL-3170CDW comes with a rated print speed up to 23 ppm (pages per minute), a bit faster compared to HL-3140CW. When it comes to size, it has the same dimension with HL-3140CW, at (HWD) 9.5" x 16.1" x 18.3", and weights about 39 pounds considering the duplexer.

Its paper handling capacity aside from the duplexer, also offers a single-sheet manual feeder, plus a 250-sheet cassette adjustable for letter or legal-sized media, and plain paper. Another reason why it suits a micro office is that, with the printer's limited paper capacity, there's no optional drawer which can be purchased to at least maximize it.

The HL-3170CDW uses Digital Color LED Technology, hence it is mainly dedicated to print color materials. Its consumables include four individual Brother toner cartridges (black yields 2500, while CYM yields 1400) and a single drum unit. One of the printer's notable feature is the Secure Function Lock support, which helps the user to control the number of connected units that can use color printing.

Overall, the Brother HL-3140CDW Digital Color LED printer can be a good choice for small offices, considering its print speed, output quality, duplex printing and Wifi Direct support.
