Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can the DesignJet T230 print on both roll and cut-sheet media?
Yes — it supports roll feed (up to 610 mm wide) as well as manual sheet feed.
Q2: Is this printer suitable for photo-quality printing (e.g., photographs, art prints)?
While the 2400×1200 dpi resolution is strong, the inks are dye (for the C/M/Y) with pigment black, and the model is optimised for line drawings, renderings and technical output rather than high-end photographic printing. For photo-specific work you may want a dedicated photo large-format printer.
Q3: What are connectivity options — can I print from smartphone/tablet?
Yes — the T230 supports USB, Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi (802.11a/b/g/n) and WiFi Direct. You can also use the HP Smart app for mobile printing.
Q4: What should I check in my workspace before purchasing?
Ensure you have ~1.0 m width for the unit (since width is 1013 mm) plus clearance. Also roll-media requires space behind for the roll and exit path. Confirm ventilation and power outlet (100-240 V AC) are suitable. User should check weight (~21.5 kg) and whether a stand is needed.
