Deep-Dive Story & Problem/Solution

Offices That Avoid Wi-Fi Still Need a Full Multifunction Device

Legal, medical, and finance offices often restrict wireless devices. They still need to print, scan signed documents to a network folder, copy case files, and send the occasional fax.

The 4101fdn provides all four functions over a wired Ethernet connection. There is no wireless radio to configure or audit.

It prints at 42 ppm with a first page in about 6.1 seconds at 1200 x 1200 dpi. Automatic duplex applies to printing, scanning, and copying, and the monthly duty cycle is up to 80,000 pages.

Fast Print and Duplex Scan

Standard input is 350 sheets from a 250-sheet tray and 100-sheet multipurpose tray. The 50-sheet ADF feeds two-sided documents without user intervention.

Straightforward Control and Supplies

A 2.7-inch color touchscreen offers scan-to-email and folder shortcuts. HP 148A and 148X toner yield about 2,900 and 9,500 pages.
