* Base estimate retail price
❖True 1200 dpi at full engine speed
❖30% faster image processor performance
❖More memory
❖ Faster duplex speeds (HP won’t even disclose their duplex speed!)
❖Better Input/Output — 550 sheet trays for loading convenience, 1000 sheet max. output vs. 250
❖Four times the Hard Disk Capacity
❖Higher Print Cartridge Yields (std. 10K vs. 6K)
❖On site warranty vs. depot return
The Phaser 4400 beats the Lexmark T522 and T620 by:
❖True 1200 dpi resolution at full rated speed (both the T522 an T620 slow to half speed for 1200 dpi)
❖Double the output capability of T522 — 500 vs. 250 (and the 4400 can expand to 1000, Lexmark T522 has no upgrade)
❖Double the Hard Disk Capacity
❖More robust — higher duty cycle than the T522 and a simple visual inspection reveal a more sturdy construc- tion of the Phaser 4400
❖Edge to Edge Printing — very important for electronic forms and spreadsheets, Lexmark can’t offer it
❖Larger standard toner yield. (10K vs. 7.5K)
❖Full capacity cartridge vs. 5K starter
❖On site warranty vs. depot return
