HP J4540 Printer Review

The HP OfficeJet J4540 is an all-in-one unit with print, scan, copy and fax capabilities. For each function, users have the ability to produce black and white as well as color HP J4540 ink documents. Its ability to store up to 99 speed dials and produce a maximum of 100 copies from an original document make the J4540 a good fit for business and workplace environments.

This inkjet printer has average speeds of 28 pages per minute using black printer ink and 22 pages per minute using color. A maximum color OfficeJet J4540 ink resolution of 4800x1200 dpi creates quality graphics and photos. It can scan documents with a resolution of up to 1200x2400 dpi using black and color printer ink.

Although this device is meant for business use, the manufacturer provides black and color OfficeJet J4540 ink cartridges that last only 360 and 200 pages, respectively. As a result, users will have to replace HP J4540 ink cartridges very quickly the first time. To avoid wasting large amounts of money on replacement tanks, consumers are recommended to purchase high capacity tanks that last longer, or purchase remanufactured tanks from a third party vendor.

The J4540's fax function includes features such as a 100 page memory, a 33.6 Kbps transmission and a snappy rate of 3 seconds per page. Its scan feature includes an image editor, integrated OCR software that coverts scanned text into editable text and a twain-compliant interface. Also, compatible media like HP Premium Plus Photo and HP Advance Photo make this inkjet unit a quality photo printer as well.

The J4540 is a reliable all-in-one device with a 3,000 page monthly duty cycle that will work in any business or workplace with mid-volume output rates. A quality HP J4540 ink resolution, compatible high capacity tanks and the ability to work wirelessly are all positively reviewed features of this unit. These great features are available for under $100, making the HP OfficeJet J4540 a quality and affordable printer.
