A review of the HP LaserJet 4100DTN Printer finds that it is one of HP’s advanced printers designed to be used by larger work groups. Prints from the machine are in black and white making it a perfect choice for companies that must print large volumes of text documents on a regular basis. This printer is easily installed on more than one machine, offers a large print capacity and high speed prints. The large 4100DTN replacement toners and paper capacity helps to prevent running out of toner or paper in the middle of a print job.
Adding this printer to an existing network is made easy with the use of a 10/100BaseTX connection. Other options for connecting to the printer include a parallel printer cable or an Ethernet connection that is somewhat faster. An optional IR receiver allows for wireless connectivity. The systems communication offers quick feedback that helps to solve problems with the printer quickly.
The printer is shipped with a paper storage capacity of 1100 sheets. Adding an additional paper tray allows users to load another 500 sheets of paper to the machine bringing the total capacity to 1600 sheets. An optional envelope feeder increases the envelope capacity to 75. The output tray will hold 300 pages. The machine is designed for both letter and legal sized paper. It also can use smaller papers. This printer can use two different black toner cartridges. The larger capacity HP LaserJet laser toner allows for the least expensive prints at just over 1.2 cent each. Choosing the smaller toner raises the price of prints to 1.5 cents each, so the best investment is the toner cartridge rated for 10,000 pages.
The first print is delivered in less than twelve seconds. After that, prints are made at the rate of 25 pages per minute. Both draft and best quality prints are produced at the same rate. Monthly rating of the machine is 150,000 prints maximum.
Consumers will be very satisfied with the high quality prints prepared on this printer. The resolution is 1200×1200 dpi. There are 120 True Type fonts available on this HP printer and all are scalable.
