Battle Testing the HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer

Summary

In this episode of Battle Damage, we conduct three tests on the HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer. We drop it from different heights and also subject it to a random act of destruction to see how well it holds up. We capture all the action with a custom-built camera rig. Join us as we smash this printer for science.

Introduction

Welcome to Battle Damage! Today, we’re going to see how well the HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer holds up to our three tests. This printer has the ability to print, scan, and copy, but how ruggedly built is it? We’ll find out soon enough. We’ll be conducting three basic tests; dropping the printer from a normal height, from a significant height, and a surprise destruction test. We’ve set up a custom-built camera rig to capture all the action.

Q&A

Q1: What are the three tests you’re conducting on the HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer?
A: We’re conducting three tests on the printer, dropping it from a normal height, a significant height, and a surprise destruction test.

Q2: Can you explain the camera rig you’re using to capture the tests?
A: We’ve set up a custom-built camera rig that will capture all the action. The rig is designed to capture the printer from various angles during the drop tests.

Q3: Can you tell us what happened during the first test?
A: During the first test, we dropped the printer from a normal height, and it broke into a bunch of pieces. Surprisingly, the glass survived and didn’t shatter.

Q4: How about the second test, what happened?
A: In the second test, we dropped the printer from a great height, and it completely crashed onto the ground. But we’re shocked that the printer case and its inner components remained largely intact. The printer was spewing out broken parts, which signifies that it was a significant impact.

Q5: And the final test, what destruction did you subject the printer to?
A: We can’t give all the details on this one, as it was a complete surprise for the camera crew, but let’s say that the printer ended up under a car, and by the time we removed it, there was not much left.

Conclusion

We put the HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer through its paces with our drop tests, and while it didn’t survive, we’re surprised that it held up as well as it did. It’s evident that HP did a fantastic job designing this printer with armor that protected it from complete destruction. We hope you enjoyed this episode of Battle Damage.
