HP 4100 Printer Review

The HP LaserJet 4100 laser printer is a multifunction device designed for the high-volume office environment. It has the capacities and robust design to keep up with a large office, but its high price tag and large size won't be for everyone. If you need a color printer, the LaserJet 1600 toner printer should be considered.

The design of the HP 4100mfp laser printer is somewhere between a compact multifunction laser and a full-size copy machine. The unit measures 21 inches by 16.4 inches by 21.3 inches (HWD), and weighs 55 pounds with the toner cartridge. Unlike larger units, it is designed to sit on a table or desk, and doesnt have casters for moving it around. Despite its smaller size compared to larger multifunction machines , the unit is every bit as capable of high-volume printing. Paper capacity starts at 600 sheets, but can be upgraded to a maximum of 1,600 sheets as needs grow. It also comes in multiple configurations. The 4100n has networking, the 4100tn adds paper capacity and networking, and the 4100dtn adds the above plus automatic duplexing.

The HP LaserJet 4100 toner cartridges have a generous capacity. At 10,100 pages per HP toner, the HP 4100 toner cartridges are just as robust as the machine they was designed for, so they will not need to be replaced often. Installation for the laser toner cartridge is fairly simple, in that you only need to open up the front panel and slide the printer toner cartridge in.

The LaserJet 4100 can print, copy, fax, and scan. Scanning can be done in either monochrome or color. Scans can be sent to a variety of locations, including a networked computer, email, or even another printer. Documents can also be stored on the unit's built-in hard drive for later printing or faxing. Many of these functions can be easily managed using the embedded server software, which allows network user to access the printer directly. The unit can even send alerts or emails to network administrators when a problem happens, reducing downtime.

Like a lot of toners print speed is very fast, at 25 pages per minute. The printer also has a quick first page out time of 12 seconds, so users won't spend much time waiting around.
