Competitive Comparison
The Phaser 4400 beats the HP 4100 by:
❖ 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
