HP Officejet J4540 Ink Cartridges

Design

The HP Officejet J4540 measures 15.8 inches in diameter and 17.1 inches wide, while being 8.5 inches tall and 13 pounds heavy. The control panel is slightly angled for easy access. Unfortunately, HP gave this model an outdated and poorly-designed paper tray. The 1200x2400 dpi scanner's resolution can be enhanced to 19200 dpi to get more vivid results, while the copier is integrated with digital image processing technology. There is a 33.6Kbps fax machine for speedy transmission and receiving of messages with the HP Officejet J4540.

Advantages

In fast mode, the HP Officejet J4540 can handle up to 28 ppm in black and 22 ppm in colour, making it among the speedier inkjet printers available. The 4-ink cartridge technology ensures crisper text and better photos. The HP Officejet J4540 is also capable of sending faxes directly from your PC, while the maximum 3,000 impressions on the monthly duty cycle is enough for normal office and personal printing needs.

Disadvantages

Faxes need to be manually sent and received, which can be a hassle if you are multi-tasking. Paper jam tends to be common because of the outdated and poorly-designed paper feeder. Sometimes, jobs become stuck in the queue. The HP Officejet J4540 could have been more efficient for the office and a small network if it had Ethernet or wireless capabilities, as well as built-in memory card readers.
