One benefit that is always important in the office setting is speed. A print rate of 17 pages every minute ensures that you will not be wasting a lot of time waiting for your print job to be complete. It will begin printing in less than 15 seconds. If the document has a great deal of graphics, of course, this will slow down the print rate as with any printer.

Standard RAM memory on this printer is 16 MB, but this can be expanded up to 200 MB. You can add a 2 GB hard drive which will give you many more options right at the printer with just a touch of the control panel. Adding the hard drive gives you many additional capabilities such as the ability to store print jobs and program them for printing.

The quality of the printing is high as it has a 1200 dpi output. The printer also features a technology specifically for enhancing resolution. The toner cartridge itself will improve print quality so all the features together will allow you to print presentation quality.

Three paper trays come standard with the 4050tn, one for 100 sheets of paper and the two others for 250 each. This will also save you time as you will not have to replace the paper constantly. If these are not sufficient, you have the option of a 500 sheet feeder which will give you more than 2 reams of paper to use before having to refill.

The trays are made to hold standard letter size paper, 8.5 x 11. If you want the capability to use legal paper, you can add a universal tray that holds up to 250 sheets. The printer can accommodate labels, transparencies, envelopes, business cards and other types of specialty paper. If envelope printing is common in your office, you may want to invest in the feeder which can hold up to 75 envelopes.

With Ethernet installed, connectivity is easy for various operating systems including PC, Apple and Unix. There is also an infrared adapter. You can print wirelessly from devices such as laptops and PDAs as long as they are infrared capable.

Although it is an older model of HP monochrome laser printer, the value has withstood the test of time. You can find this printer refurbished from a number of sources and at a great price. If you want to further increase your economic gains, you can invest in the high volume toner cartridge which will reduce your cost per page printed.

Overall, this HP laser toner is a smart choice for the workgroup that needs high output and fast printing. Considering the features offered, it is well worth the price. The only real downside is that it cannot be used for duplex printing. But if this is not a huge portion of your printing needs, it probably is not all that important.
