Part of the LaserJet 4050 line of quality laser printers, the network model 4050TN offers 16 MB RAM, an HP JetDirect 600N internal print server (a 10/100 Base-TX fast Ethernet card), a fast infrared receiver, and three paper trays.The LaserJet 4050TN's standard 500-sheet paper tray slides into the front of the printer; paper follows an S-path through the printer and ejects facedown into a generous 250-sheet output bin on the top of the unit. Alternately, you can flip down a tray in the rear of the printer that handles 50 sheets. The printer's front also hosts a flip-down multipurpose feed tray that can handle 100 sheets of ordinary paper as well as media ranging from 3-by-5- inch cards to legal-size paper. The tray's adjustable guides automatically center the paper.
Toner cartridges slide effortlessly into a large opening on top of the unit. This opening, along with well-marked access levers, also lets you access the entire paper path. Hewlett-Packard's TonerGauge tracks the number of printed toner dots and sends an accurate reading to the control panel and management software.
The menu structure is immediately understandable and the control panel is easy to use. On the control panel, three LED indicators show the printer's online status, activity, and error conditions, while a series of buttons on the right allow you to maneuver through the printer's scrollable menus. The LaserJet 4050N's online help system allows you to scroll through troubleshooting solutions on the control panel.
The LaserJet 4050N comes with interfaces for IEEE 1284-compliant bidirectional parallel, RS-232 9-pin serial, two PCI-based EIO slots, fast infrared, HP JetDirect card for Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX in one EIO slot, and a fast infrared receiver. An option is available for HP JetDirect 600N (EIO) internal print servers for Ethernet, Token Ring, and LocalTalk. The LaserJet 4050N's fast infrared receiver in the rear is handy if you have a compatible notebook and like the idea of printing wirelessly from across your office.
In addition to font and macro storage, a hard disk enables the LaserJet 4050N to perform several types of jobs: private printing, proof and hold, stored jobs, and quick copies. Private printing enables users to encode a print job with a PIN number and release the job at the printer by entering the code. Proof and hold is a feature bound to save paper--it prints the first copy of a document and only prints the subsequent ones after you look at the proof and release the job at the printer. Quick copying lets you print up to 999 additional copies of the last job without reloading the source application. Stored jobs can live at the printer, and you can print them on demand from the control panel without any PC involvement.
Given the HP 4050N's impressive features, its fast 17-page-per-minute, jam-free printing, its network interfacing, and its strong manageability features, we think this is a fine business printer.

Product Description
The 4000 Series earned their status as the industry standard for black-and- white workgroup printing by offering the most performance for the money - right out of the box. Now Hewlett-Packard has added a number of powerful features to the next generation 4050 Series, creating an altogether new and improved benchmark against which all others will be judged. HP LaserJet 4050 Series printers improve upon the traditional workgroup laser printer in three key areas: overall performance, versatility and total cost of ownership. Performance is boosted by the new 133-MHz microprocessor that comes standard in all models. And HP LaserJet 4050 Series printers feature twice the amount of memory that was included in their predecessors.What's more, they offer a versatile, expandable design to accommodate general office or specialized printing needs - both today and in the future. The upgraded security, management and convenience features of HP LaserJet 4050 Series printers deliver a new level of usability and manageability that was once available only with more expensive department printers. Designed as part of a complete network printing solution, HP LaserJet 4050 Series printers make it easier and more affordable than ever to print what you want, how you want it, when you want it.
