HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP4020 / CP4520 Series Printers


HP Color LaserJet CP 4020 / CP 4520 Printer


A4 colour laser printers intended for larger workgroups, hence the name "Enterprise".

These machines have a print speed of 35 pages per minute for the CP4025 models with a recommended monthly print volume of 2,000 to 7,500 pages, 40 pages per minute for the CP4525 models with a recommended monthly print volume of 2,500 to 10,000 pages

The fast production of pages is matched by fast startup - as quick as 10 seconds to print the first page. Both models have 800 MHz microprocessors and fairly large base memories so complex material will not slow them down unduly.

Other features are:

  • High capacity paper handling
  • Enterprise class networking capabilities
  • Advanced security features

These printers have proved popular. They were introduced in October 2009 and are still high performing printers in HP's 2014 Catalog.

This kind of machine is at the low end of what might be considered a "production printer" - big 11,000 page cartridges give "colour impressions" (four needed per page) at about 0.7p (ie under 3p per page colour) . Curiously the CP5225 has rather smaller cartridges (its pitched as the entry-level A3 colour machine).


Control:

A fairly large 2.03-in LCD, 64 x 160 pixels, 4-line, color control panel display; 7 front-panel buttons (Menu, Select, Stop, Back/Exit, Help, Up arrow, Down arrow); enhanced help with animated graphics. 3 LED status lights (Attention, Data, Ready)

Four-line color graphical display on the control panel. HP Embedded Web Server to configure and manage the product remotely from any computer connected to the same network. HP Easy Printer Care software (an optional status and troubleshooting tool). Internet-enabled supply-ordering capabilities through HP Easy Printer Care software, driver Status Notification pop-up messages, and HP Embedded Web Server

Duty Cycle:

Monthly Duty Cycle, Maximum 120,000 pages.

Recommended monthly volume: 2,500 to 10,000 pages.


Fast colour laser printer using inline technology.

35 pages per minute for the CP4025 models with a recommended monthly print volume of 2,000 to 7,500 pages

40 pages per minute for the CP4525 models with a recommended monthly print volume of 2,500 to 10,000 pages

The difference in print volume reflects support policies rather than any engineering weakness in the slower printer.


Scanner Abilities:

The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CM4540 MFP is a multifunction copier/ workflow device based on the same engine.

Memory:

Colour printers need a substantial amount of memory to handle the task of printing large colour graphics whilst assembling further pages from the network.

  • "n" and "dn" models have 512 MB of random-access memory (RAM). Expandable to 1 GB by adding into the open DIMM slot 200-pin small outline dual inline memory modules (DDR2 SODIMM) that support 256 MB or 512 MB of RAM.
  • "xh" models have 1 gigabyte (GB) of random-access memory (RAM). The memory is not expandable (but there is probably no need)

Memory Enhancement technology (MEt) automatically compresses data to use RAM more efficiently.

Expansion: One available 200-pin-x32 SODIMM slot

Consumables:

The printer uses all-in-one print cartridges with toner, developer and photoconductor in one unit. Colour images are built up by a transfer belt. A waste bottle is used to gather toner not fully used in the print process.

The printer will also require a new fuser periodically.

All consumables are used in both the CLJ Enterprise CP4025 and CP4525 Printer Series.

Fuser:

A fuser adheres toner powder to the page using a combination of heat and pressure. A simple fuser comprises two rollers, one heated and the other made of stiff rubber and forced up against the heated part by springs. As the page passes through the nip point the toner is softened and adhered to the material. To work propoerly the surface of the hot roller needs to be non-stick and this quality is lost after thousands of pages. Non-stick material also tends to break away from its underlying material, particularly where it is continually stressed by the edges of pages passing. A fuser therefore has a measureable life.

Fuser also fail because they contain a heater which is continually turned on and off to maintain the correct temperature. After many cycles the heating element is likely to fail.

Fuser used in these printers actually use a foil material instead of the top roller and a ceramic bar heater. This allows the hot side of the device to react very quickly, HP call it "Instant -On" technology. The general principles and points of failure remain the same
