If an affordable way to execute a full color scan in your own home or small office is what you’re looking for, examine the comprehensive features of the HP DeskJet F4200, a three in one device that can not only print, but copy and scan as well in full color. Operating with notable swiftness and usability, the HP F4200 is a great way to bring a wide range of color paper handling features to the personal user at a low price.
The HP DeskJet F4200’s minimal 80 sheet fold up paper tray does limit its functionality as far as massive output workloads, but also keeps its size and footprint extremely manageable. With dimensions of 17.2 inches (w) x 11.4 inches (d) x 6.4 inches (h), the unit stands as one of the smallest color three in one devices on the market today. It also weighs in at only 10.8 pounds, meaning that the printer is suitable for frequent relocation.
With print speeds of up to 26 pages per minute in black and white and 20 pages per minute in color, the HP DeskJet F4200 offers users the speed that many of HP’s devices in the past have lacked. HP exclusive technology, such as HP Vivera ink, helps to keep black and white text and color imagery looking pristine, and can achieve decades of preservation without fading, for archiving purposes.
Cool features such as HP Smart Web Printing allow optimized printing from internet browsers. While other printers often cut off edges of widened web pages, Smart Web Printing automatically adjusts almost any web page to fit on to a single page, and a single resize to fit button also allows users to fit almost any source material onto a chosen output size. A dedicated print cancel button also helps to cut down on wasted ink and paper if print problems do arise.
HP Advanced Paper allows for smudge and smear resistant documents and photographs, while HP’s Photosmart Essentail software helps users to adjust their images, and remove red eye. A 4 x 6 photo print option is available for optimized photograph printing and, thanks to a scan resolution of 1,200 x 2,400 dots per inch, copies made from color originals will appear lossless. The scan cover can even be removed to scan three dimensional objects such as books or magazines.
Print quality is also high, with standard 600 x 600 dot per inch quality available for standard black and white text printing, and optimized color printing up to 4,800 dots per inch also optional. Standard color and black ink cartridges are available for the device, and cost effective high capacity ink cartridges are available as well, and can produce twice the color printouts, and up to three times the black and white printed pages.
The HP DeskJet F4200 is connectable to Windows based PCs as well as Mac operating systems via an implemented high speed USB 2.0 port, making it an excellent choice as a stand alone personal copy machine, or color inkjet printer.
