HP 4v Printer Review

Office printers need, first and foremost, to be reliable, as paper jams or error messages could hinder productivity. Secondly, these machines need to be able to operate efficiently enough to keep up with the general pace of a busy office. Finally, office equipment has to deliver a quality that is worthy of professional standard. The HP LaserJet 4V encompasses everything that a work environment could possibly be looking for in a printer, and it will do it all within a limited budget.

As an Energy Star qualified machine, the 4V has undergone a series of environmental test to ensure it is not bad for the planet. It even has an automatic energy saving mode that will turn off the machine when not being used. A mode is also available that will reduce the amount of printer toner used for each print just slightly as to not take away from the overall quality, but prolong the life of each HP 4V toner cartridge.

Unfortunately, color printing is not an option as only black LaserJet 4V toner is used. Its monochrome nature allows it to print up to 16 pages per minute, though and minimizes maintenance fees. Replacements are also affordable as many third party vendors offer compatible HP 4V toner that is much less expensive than the OEM version. Another money-saving feature is the 8,500-page yield of the LaserJet 4V toner cartridges, which will reduce the average cost per page. As a bonus option, offices that print their own checks will be able to do so using the MICR HP 4V toner.

Though the only connection option is a parallel port, universal adapters are available for users who would prefer to connect via USB or ethernet. Additional paper trays can also be purchased separately to increase the paper capacity and the memory can be upgraded from 4 MB to 8 MB.
