Time to answer a question a lot of folks probably wonder about, but rarely ask about. Why? Probably because it is just not that interesting, but I’ll provide an answer any way.

First, this information only pertains to HP printers.

HP uses a combination of up to eleven different lower case letters at the end of the their printer number. Each letter represents a different feature on the printer. I don’t think they may single printer that has every one of these features, so you don’t have to worry about having to figure out what the HP 932dfhiknrstwx is!

d  =  Duplex
f   =  Fax
h  =  Hard disk
i  =  Imaging (card slots)
k  =  Stapler
n  =  Network
r  =  Folder
s  =  Stacker
t  =  Extra tray
w  =  Wireless
x  =  Duplex, extra tray and network (formerly dtn)

If you have the HP Color LaserJet CP3525dn, your printer number is CP3525 and it has duplex and network capabilities.

Pretty cool, huh? Head out and amaze your friends with your new knowledge. Before you do, leave a post and let me know if you knew this already or not. Thanks!
