Key Advantages

The LaserJet 4240n provides fast printing speeds of 40 ppm, enhancing office productivity. It supports multiple network protocols and includes an internal Ethernet port for easy network connectivity. The printer supports multiple paper trays, offering a total capacity of up to 1,300 sheets, which minimizes refilling interruptions. Its print resolution of 1200 dpi ensures crisp and professional document quality. The device is compatible with a variety of print languages for broad application support. Built for durability, this model can handle large print volumes, making it suitable for busy office environments.

Limitations

The HP LaserJet 4240n, being an older model, does not support wireless connectivity, limiting its flexibility in modern wireless environments. Its memory capacity is limited compared to newer models, potentially affecting performance with very complex print jobs. The printer only supports monochrome printing, so it cannot produce color prints. Replacement parts and consumables are progressively harder to find due to the model’s age. Its energy consumption is higher than more recent eco-friendly printers. The device lacks advanced touchscreen interfaces or modern connectivity options like USB 3.0 or Wi-Fi Direct.
