HP LaserJet 4 C2001a Printer Review
Expert review of the HP LaserJet 4 C2001a printer
Designed for straightforward monochrome printing of business correspondence and professional documents, the HP LaserJet 4 C2001A printer is specifically aimed at small offices that don't need colour printing but would like to have a fast, reliable, and low-cost device. The Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4 C2001A monochrome laser printer is quite affordable, too, but some users may find the print speeds and overall performance to be sub-par.
Design
This 23.1Kg laser printer is an older model with an industrial-style enclosure that measures 18.1 inches wide, 12.5 inches tall, and 20.6 inches deep. The desktop form factor makes the HP LaserJet C2001A printer compact enough for the standard office table. The HP LaserJet 4 comes with a monochrome laser engine, a choice between a serial and parallel interface, and runs on 2MB of standard RAM. The curved media path of the HP LaserJet 4 laser printer C2001A is good enough for plain paper, labels, envelopes, and transparencies.
Advantages
The generous 20,000-page monthly duty cycle makes the HP LaserJet 4 C2001A mono laser printer good for bulk printing. The total media capacity is up to 350 sheets, and changing the toner cartridge means getting fresh print-heads, making the device easy to maintain. The installed RAM is expandable to 16MB. Text documents printed with the HP LaserJet 4 C2001A are clean, crisp, and sharp at 600x600dpi. The cheapest way to run this machine is with a compatible high capacity black HP LaserJet 4 C2001A toner designed to print approximately 8,800 pages for a low cost-per-copy.
Disadvantages
The LaserJet 4 C2001A is not very fast and can only go up to 8ppm. Other problems include the lack of networking features and the outdated interface. PostScript support is unavailable. Only a limited selection of media types can be handled by the HP C2001A printer model.
