HP LaserJet 4000tn

The HP LaserJet 4000tn is a variant of Hewlett Packards 4000 series that includes networking and a second paper tray as standard. In HP parlance, the t means tray, for the extra paper tray, and the n means networking as standard. There are other options like d for duplexer, s for stacker and l for stapler. This nomenclature is standard across the HP range, and once you know it, makes it easy to follow through.

The main advantage of the 4000 series is the 100Mhz RISC processor. Its small, cool and plenty powerful enough to drive the printer. Coupled with a standard 8Mb of memory, expandable to much more, this printer can be scaled to cope with almost any workload. With a duty cycle of 65,000 pages per month, its capabilities belie its size.

At an average of 17 pages per minute, it wont take the 4000tn to get through its duty cycle. Its no slouch and still manages to print decent quality prints at that speed. It has a default 600 dpi which is fairly average, but HPs drivers can simulate 1200 with ease, which produces some impressively detailed prints.

Photographs are particularly well done considering this is a laser. Text is understandably the strong point though. All of the fonts, at whatever point appear clear, sharp and almost good enough to eat. All output is dark where it needs to be dark and light where it needs to be light. There is no blurring, spatter, smudging or anything to detract from the great job the machine does with the printing.

The toner lasts for a good 10,000 pages for a standard one, and 15,000 for a high yield version. They are replaced by accessing the flap and unclipping the old one, then replacing it with the new. There are no drums or fusers to worry about, just the one consumable. That makes it quite a cheap option for the cost conscious.

The 4000 series has been around for a while now, and has more than earned its spurs as a solid, reliable office printer. It just keeps on giving, long after others have given up the ghost and had to be replaced. If youre in the market for a printer, you could do a lot worse than an HP LaserJet 4000tn.
