The Hp Laserjet 4240n And The Q1338a Toner

Buying and choosing the right printer is not an easy task, as there seems to be only as much types of printers as there are users. Indeed, printers come in all shapes and sizes, from the tiniest portables to the bulkier workgroups; some are designed for specific users like photographers, while others are more universal and perfect for multitaskers. Resolution and speed can be quite intimidating to the tech-unsavvy, and might not even be much help to some. As a basic rule of thumb, inkjet printers are required for photo prints, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents. Still, it is best to determine for what purpose a printer is to be used to find the best before making a purchase. What is suitable for another might not be the best for you.

Where do you intend to use your printer, and how may users will there most likely be? If you expect your printer to keep up with the needs of an office with a fairly large organization, then what you want is a workgroup laser printer. They are built to handle multiple print jobs with ease, with their faster processors, larger memory capacity, and capable print engines that can produce more than 20 pages per minute with ease. What sets them apart from ordinary personal lasers are their network-printing capabilities, high capacity toner cartridges, and larger paper input/output trays.

I would suggest a business-class inkjet if your business has minimal printing needs, but then again, laser cartridges have larger printing capacities than inkjet cartridges, hence they actually turnout to be more economical. Also, inkjet cartridges tend to dry out when used minimally and therefore, are not advisable for infrequent users.

An example of a workgroup printer is the HP LaserJet 4240N, a mid-priced, 40 page per minute, monochrome workgroup laser printer, with a maximum resolution of 1200dpi, and a fast 460 MHz processor, that makes it faster than average laser printers available. It has a basic 600 sheet capacity, and 3100 sheets total capacity when used with the optional paper tray. This printer can be plugged directly into a LAN, so it can serve as its own print server. It is capable of accepting pages up to A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in) and legal (8.5 in x 14 in).
