Understanding and appreciating all that the HP Color LaserJet 4650dn printer does throughout its workday comes to one quite easily after spending a short amount of time with this machine. Designed more for a small or medium workgroup rather than a large one, this Hewlett-Packard goes about performing its print tasks with ease. It produces black-and-white or color sheets with little trouble, which is something many other printer manufacturers can’t claim to do.
In terms of capabilities, this particular Hewlett-Packard features print speeds of up to 22 pages per minute, which is fast, being as it produces sheets just as well in color as it does black and white. This is a nice print speed for a decent networked printer. First-page output at initial task until the sheet emerges is only 15 seconds.
Processing speed is also excellent, with Hewlett-Packard having installed one of its speedier 533 MHz chips. This means it will be able to process from a myriad of entry points and will suffer from very little hang-ups or confusion. It features nice durability as well, and is easily able to print out up to 85,000 pages per month.
The printer is also quite capable in regards to print resolution. The 4650n printer provides acceptable performance at 600×600 dpi. In terms of the print job’s quality, it is sure to be nice and sharp, and clear and crisp. It also comes with two standard paper trays, which is usually sufficient for most workgroups, though it can be upgraded to a total of 4 trays. Standard capacity is 600 sheets, with a total of 1600 sheets in all four trays.
It also can handle envelope printing as well, though there is no separate envelope feeder (meaning they will have to be set in manually). The HP 4650dn also can perform two-sided printing through its manual duplex function. There is 160 MB of standard memory, and that can be easily upgraded to 440 MB of memory with very little trouble. 160 MB of memory should be more than enough for most office applications.
The Hewlett-Packard 4650dn printer can also make use of most Windows-based operating systems as well as several different Mac OS systems. The machine is easy to interface into a network by the office IT specialist and it comes with standard one-year on-site warranties, which can be extended for a longer period of time for a nominal fee.
Conductivity with the 4650dn is also quite nice, and the printer itself comes with USB and parallel port capabilities as standard equipment. Additionally, there’s a nice 10/100 Ethernet input port internal print server and there are optional wireless capability functions that can be added. The most popular wireless types today are generally Bluetooth and 802.11g, both of which this machine can accommodate.
Adding up what the HP Color LaserJet 4650dn printer can do, then, will quickly reveal that any small or medium workgroup having this printer assigned to it should come itself fairly lucky. It will be getting a machine that features nice print speed as well as excellent durability and functionality. For the price — which is actually fairly reasonable — there should be little or nothing for any workgroup to complain about. Just make sure to have lots of HP cartridges on hand. LaserJet 4650dn toner can be found online or at your local store. Having lots of laser toner on hand will make sure you aren’t ever left rushing to meet a print deadline.
