HP Laserjet M4345 MFP

A4 multifunction printer with copying and colour scan, fax, email and document sending capabilities. High speed with up to 43 pages per minute throughput.

This printer has a flexible architecture and supports multiple input trays, stacking, stapling and document-finishing, and a 3-bin mailbox. The M4345MFP is an updated version of the 4345MFP; both are based on the very reliable LaserJet 4300 printer

Normally the LJ M4345MFP will be attached to computers through a network. This allows features like remote document storage. However it's a complete standalone copier and doesn't require a computer.

A significant improvement over the previous model is the control panel.

Features:

  • Fast - up to 45 pages per minute.
  • Work without interruption. HP Print Cartridges with Smart print technology alerts users when supplies are low and can re-order automatically through HP SureSupply. Changing and HP cartridge renews about 70% of the imaging system.
  • Easy, reliable networking. Jetdirect Fast ethernet embedded print server offers remote installation configuration and management. Remote dignostics, email alerts, job tracking and accounting.
  • Automatic input of documents to be scanned using a 50 sheet reversing Automatic Document Feeder handles single and double sided documents.
  • Two-sided copying (duplexing) on models with the printer auto duplex installed.
  • Image modification - scale and re-arrange images.
  • Color digital sending - comes as standard with send to email and network folder capability, network authentication and LDAP support.
  • Document finishing using the stapler / stacker output option.

Although the Laserjet M4345is somewhat improved over the older 4345 design the changes are largely in terms of software. Parts and consumables remain the same.

Control:

Text and graphics on a touch screen LCD display and a 10 key numeric pad for user interaction. Major functions can be accessed through the control panel for stand-alone use. Administrators can modify control panel use via the embedded web server interface.

All models are networked and support Web Jetadmin and an embedded Web Server. Remote diagnostics, e-mail alerts, job tracking and accounting.
