1Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP Officejet, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled “1-LINE” on the back of your HP Officejet.

Caution! If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to your HP Officejet, you probably will not be able to fax successfully. This special 2-wire cord is different from the more common 4-wire phone cords you might already have in your office.

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.

On the other hand, the HP 4215 and 4215xi offer similar functionalities but cater to a somewhat different market segment.

The 4215xi adds enhanced features such as an intuitive color touchscreen display, which simplifies navigation and operation for users of all skill levels.

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.

In terms of energy efficiency, all three models are ENERGY STAR certified. They incorporate features that minimize power consumption during idle periods and utilize HP's Instant-on Technology, which allows for fast warm-up times, saving both energy and time.

In conclusion, the HP 4255, 4215, and 4215xi printers exemplify reliability and efficiency in the MFP market.
