hp
Gain confidence with this affordable and reliable performer that
delivers A3-sized paper handling and enhanced productivity with
ease of use, flexible finishing features, and efficient speeds.
Entry-level department printer
• Increase efficiency with reliable sharing. In addition to
an IEEE 1284-B parallel port, HP LaserJet 9040n and
9040dn printers feature an HP Jetdirect Fast Ethernet
embedded print server. With networking embedded on
the device formatter board, two EIO slots remain
available to expand your printer’s capabilities with the
optional hard disk or optional wireless networking.
• Get high-quality, professional-looking output. Print
crisp, high-quality black-and-white documents that
make an impact with FastRes1200. HP’s micro-fine
toner formula in the HP LaserJet print cartridge enables
reliable and cost-effective printing.
Simple to use and manage
• Take advantage of advanced finishing options. Use the
optional 8-bin mailbox, to assign each bin to an
individual, workgroup, or a department. The mailbox is
equipped with a sorter/collator, a stacker, and a job
separator for fast, simple document customizations.
Employ an optional 3,000-sheet stacker, 3,000-sheet
stapler/stacker, or a multifunction finisher for booklets
to enable efficient document production.
• Minimize user intervention and maximize flexibility.
The printer offers paper handling options that provide
an input capacity of up to 3,100 sheets and an output
capacity of up to 3,600 sheets.
• Automatically print professional, two-sided documents.
Routinely printing on both sides virtually doubles input
capacity and makes paperwork more manageable
(standard with the HP LaserJet 9040dn printer).
• Receive automatic supplies alerts. Each print cartridge
features HP Smart printing technology1 that works with
your printer to provide supplies information for simple
maintenance and maximum uptime. When you receive
an alert that a cartridge is low or out, you can enjoy
convenient, online ordering with HP SureSupply.2
Solid performer
• Reduce your wait time and increase productivity. With
fast print speeds of up to 40 pages per minute (ppm),
and a first page out in less than 8 seconds, you can
print your document and be back to work before our
competitors’ printers have warmed up.
• Depend on security with advanced options. HP Web
Jetadmin supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for
greater network security.
• Experience fast, worry-free performance. Complex
print jobs pose no problem with the printer’s 533 MHz
processor. And with memory expandable up to
512 MB, you can add memory as workgroups grow.
Reliability
• Count on HP reliability. Print with confidence—the
printer easily accommodates challenging, large-volume
printing with a 300,000 page-per-month duty cycle.
• Enjoy effortless network management. HP Web
Jetadmin remotely installs, configures, and proactively
manages your network peripherals. The HP Embedded
Web Server performs remote diagnostics, sends e-mail
alerts, and provides job tracking and accounting
information, saving you time and money.3
• Enable simple and secure printing. The intuitive 10-key
LCD control panel delivers effortless interaction with the
printer. Use the control panel to take advantage of the
Private Job feature that allows confidential document
printing, and Proof and Hold, which lets you review
one copy of a multiple-copy print job and then use the
control panel to release remaining copies.
HP printing and imaging systems help you create
powerful, professional communications easily. HP
printers, supplies, accessories, and services are designed
to work together and are invented to meet your business
needs.
