New Printer, New Technology

The Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 4000 ($1099) replaces the popular HP LaserJet 5, offering a host of new features for workgroup laser printers. It is the first HP printer to be enabled with the new JetSend protocol. The 4000 has a 100-MHz RISC processor and 32-bit PCI-bus architecture. A new heating element in the drum is designed to make the unit warm up and print the first page 14.6 seconds after the printer comes out of sleep mode. Another new technology, called FastRes 1200, can eliminate some speed performance penalties while printing at the maximum output of 1200 dpi. The print engine is rated at 17 ppm. Paper capacity is 600 sheets. HP says the unit can handle heavier paper without warping because it has a straight paper path.
