The HP LaserJet 3100xi offers monochrome laser printing technology and can serve not only as a printer, but as a copier and a scanner as well. The unit comes with a disappointing print speed of 6 pages per minute which is also the same rating for copying. A sheet fed scanner is installed rather a flatbed scanner, thus it can�?t be used to scan or copy bulky documents like books and magazines. Just by looking at its features, anyone can definitely say that it�?s more suitable to use as a personal printer. Duty cycle and paper capacity, even the HP C3906A (06A) toner cartridge you need for it defines the unit as a printer for low-volume printing.
