Print Quality (7.00)
The print quality settings on the HP Color LaserJet 3600n’s menu are surprisingly extensive. Users can adjust the color values in highlights, mid-tones, and shadows in gradations from 0 to 5. Margin adjustment is possible if the print is not coming out centered on the page or toner adjustments are required. This involves printing out a test page that shows the edges of the printable page, then going back into the menu and setting the x and y points. Auto Sensing can be set to allow the printer to set the paper type. Print modes can also be set for specific media types. This might be helpful if the user wants a different application of toner than what is the default for a given media type.
Internal Editing (3.00)
Other than the color adjustments mentioned in the Print Quality section, all editing is done in computer software.
Dedicated B&W Settings/Effects (0)
Users must specify whether jobs should be printed as black and white or color in the software’s print menu before sending the job because the 3600n’s menu doesn’t include these options.
Media Types (8.00)
One of this color laserjet’s main attractions is its ability to print high-quality marketing materials without outsourcing to a professional printing service. Thus, the HP 3600n is able to handle very high-quality paper. The 3600n accepts plain and glossy laser paper from 3x5 inches to 8.5x14 inches sizes in tray one, which is the multi-purpose door in the front of the unit. It also accepts transparencies, labels, envelopes, and cardstock. Tray two accepts standard letter-sized plain and glossy paper, as well as transparencies and labels. The paper in the multipurpose tray can be as heavy as 16-59 pound bond with envelopes ranging from 16-24 pounds. The standard and optional input trays hold 16-32 pound paper. This printer accepts all kinds of paper: plain, pre-printed, letterhead, pre-punched, bond, recycled, tough, color, gloss, or rough. HP recommends using its paper with 5-layer coating technology to get really glossy prints. The 3600n is equipped with a sensor that automatically recognizes paper types and selects paper appropriate for the job if not specified from the computer.
