NOTE:

If the product is to be used as a network printer, the printer drivers must be installed on all computers that will send print jobs to the MFP.

Digital-sending

Digital sending is similar to faxing information, but offers significant advantages.

• Sends e-mail to multiple e-mail addresses simultaneously, saving time and delivery costs
• Ensures privacy by sending information directly to e-mail in-boxes rather than to a fax machine, which might have many users
• Delivers files at near-original quality in black and white or in color
• Sends files in PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or M-TIFF file formats, which can be modified by the recipient as needed

Walk-up copying

The product offers efficient copying services for the workgroup. Making a copy is as easy as pressing the START button to use the system defaults. The product offers full office copying functionality.

Network printing

The product is fully compatible with other HP LaserJet printers. When the installation software is loaded, network printing is available through the HP Jetdirect 10/100Base-TX print server card that is supplied with the product. Use the parallel port or the optional Fast InfraRed receiver (FIR) port for direct printing.

Multitasking

The HP LaserJet 4100 MFP series allows full multitasking capabilities to enhance office efficiency. System defaults can be set to define how multiple incoming jobs are managed and how these defaults can be overridden to meet special requirements.
