Designed for productivity, these models combine printing, scanning, copying, and faxing functions, making them ideal for small to medium-sized offices.

The HP 4255 is known for its high-speed printing capabilities, reaching up to 50 pages per minute, making it suitable for environments with high print volumes.

With a monthly duty cycle of up to 150,000 pages, it is built to handle heavy workloads. The 4255 includes a large input tray that can accommodate up to 4,700 sheets, reducing the frequency of paper reloading.

These printers utilize HP’s innovative Print Contract Technology, which optimizes print quality and device efficiency. Their Smart Duplexing feature further enhances paper savings by automatically detecting when double-sided printing is more efficient. The devices are designed with a user-friendly interface, enabling quick access to all functions.

Connectivity options are abundant across these models, including USB, Ethernet, and wireless capabilities. This ensures that users can print directly from their computers, tablets, or smartphones, promoting a seamless workflow.
