HP LaserJet IID - 33447   


GENERAL INFORMATION

The Hewlett Packard LaserJet IID, a PCL level 4 language printer, is based on the Canon RX engine. This engine is capable of duplex printing (both sides of  the paper), hence II"D" for Duplex. The LaserJet IID has 14 built-in fonts,  which is eight more than the Series II. Most font cartridges for the II are  useable in the IID, but emulation cartridges are not. The video interface that comes with the JetScript for the Series II will not work in a IID. The video interfaces that come with LaserMaster controllers and others that access only  the video lines will work in the II or the IID. The cover set is the same shape as that of the Canon LBP-8IIR, but the color is a shade lighter.

FONT INFORMATION

The LaserJet IID was the first HP printer to include the ability to rotate fonts from portrait to landscape. Earlier printers had to have the fonts bitmapped in each form. Cartridges such as the HP ProCollection have Helvetica and Times Roman programmed in portrait orientation only, and that's the only way they work in the original LaserJets and Series II. These fonts can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation on the IID and on newer HP printers such as the IIP and III.

The IID is the first LaserJet to use a controller designed and manufactured  by HP rather than by Canon. The style of the board fabrication is typical of HP  and not Canon. Traces are gold plated and they make sharp 90 degree bends. These characteristics have been a trademark of boards designed and built by HP.  Manufacturing cost was reduced by combining into a large ASIC many of the TTL parts found on Canon designs. Incorporation of this chip protects the board design from copying and makes repairs difficult for board repair houses who do not have access to spare ASICs.
