HP Deskjet F4100 Specifications

The F4100 is smaller than most office copiers and doubles as a printer.

The HP Deskjet F4100 is more than a simple printer. It is also a scanner and copier with the ability to print photos using several types of photo paper. Unlike some combination printers the F4100 does not include a fax machine. However, the F4100 possess more flexibility than a standard combination printer due to the fact that its copier and scanner functions work independently of the computer to which it is connected.

Printing Speeds

The HP F4100 has variable printing speeds based on what is being printed and the printing mode selected by the user. Black and white documents print most quickly at 20 pages per minute in draft mode and 7ppm in normal mode. Full color documents print significantly slower at 14ppm in draft mode and only 2.9 ppm in normal mode. Draft mode is significantly faster and uses less ink due to the fact that draft mode uses a lower printing resolution than normal mode which is more suitable for finished documents.

Printer and Scanner Resolution

The maximum printing resolutions of the F4100 are based on the DPI-dots per inch-of the printer. Both color and black and white modes have their own DPI ratings that determine the crispness and quality of images printed on the F4100. Black and white documents have a maximum resolution of 1200 DPI when printed from a computer while color documents are printed at up to 4800 x 1200 DPI when printed from a computer with a 1200 DPI source.

Paper and Cartridges

The cartridges used in the F4100 include a black and white cartridge, a tri-color cartridge and a photo cartridge. The F4100 can use these cartridges to print on letter, legal, executive, cards and A2 sized media. It is capable of using inkjet, photo and plain paper as well as envelopes, cards, labels, iron-on transfers, transparencies and HP premium media. It has a single paper tray and holds up to 100 sheets of paper or 10 envelopes at a time but does not include an envelope feeding mechanism. This printer is not capable of duplex printing (using both sides of a sheet).
