HP Laserjet P4014 Series


HP Laserjet P4014


The HP LaserJet P4014 /4015 series are fast, robust laser printers with an A4 paper path and lots of paper handling options.

There are two basic models which have a 100 sheet multipurpose tray (Tray 1) and a 500 sheet tray 2 sliding into the printer base.

The two P4014 printers are "light" models which are just a bit slower and less feature rich than the P4015N series. The P4015 has a numeric keypad that allows the faster printer to do things like secure printing.

For some reason HP cite a slightly lower Duty Cycle of 175,000 pages for the P41014 where the P4015 gets a 225,000 page rating. The hardware doesn't differ much.

The P4014 without it's network connection is a rather odd creation - a fast printer with no network connection. Potential uses are things like leaflet and catalog production for graphics artists and jobbing printers where speed is wanted but networking isn't particularly useful.

People buying a new printer and needing accessories might be better looking at the P4015X as a base - it comes with network, duplexer and and extra tray.

The LaserJet P4014 and P4015 are successors for the LJ 4250 and low end versions of the P4515.
