Key Advantages

The HP LaserJet 4100N offers reliable and fast printing suitable for busy offices. Its network capabilities allow multiple users to share a single device efficiently. High paper input capacity minimizes downtime due to reloading. Expandable memory supports complex documents and improves print job processing time. The inclusion of PCL and PostScript emulations ensures compatibility with most print jobs and applications. Its durable design and built-in networking enhance long-term office productivity.

Limitations

The LaserJet 4100N is limited to monochrome printing, which restricts it from producing color documents. Its print resolution, while sufficient for text, is lower compared to modern printers that offer higher dpi for photo-quality prints. The device's physical size and weight require significant office space. The printer lacks support for wireless connectivity such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, relying solely on Ethernet for network connections. Consumables, such as toner cartridges, can be relatively expensive compared to newer models. The overall technology is dated, which may cause compatibility issues with modern operating systems without updated drivers.
