The HP Color LaserJet 4650dn Takes First Place!

by erin on January 21, 2010

Taking the measure of the HP Color LaserJet 4650dn printer toner’s capabilities reveals a product from Hewlett-Packard that seems best suited for small and medium-sized workgroups. It is a very nicely-performing laser jet printer that can put out product in black-and-white and color just as easily and quickly, which is something a number of other manufacturers and their printers are not quite as capable of doing.

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 has a standard envelope capacity of 20, though no envelope feeder is offered. This isn’t really that big of a deal as an envelope can be fed in with little trouble and whenever it’s needed. It also can perform manual duplex printing, which is the capability to perform a two-sided print job, if needed. Standard memory supplied with the printer comes in at 160 MB. It can be upgraded to 544 MB in little time.

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.

In terms of connectivity, this particular model comes standard with parallel port as well as USB port capabilities. There is an internal print server for a Base-TX 10/100 Ethernet input port, if needed. It also can be equipped, on an optional basis, with a number of different wireless interface capabilities, including Bluetooth and Ethernet (802.11g). There should be little issue with being able to connect it to most any pre-established network, in other words.

The HP Color LaserJet 4650dn printer is an excellent machine made for a medium or small-networked workgroup. It can interface easily and will work well with most Windows-based operating systems as well as a number of different Mac OS systems. It features good durability and comes at a decent price, which is sure to be attractive to most small businesses. Hp toner will be needed as well.  Toner is the ink that is used to print documents. HP Color LaserJet 4650dn toner is available for purchase either online or at your local store.
