Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What separates the 4550 from the older 4500 base machine?
  The HP Color LaserJet 4550 features an upgraded 200 MHz processor (compared to 133 MHz on the 4500) and includes an onboard infrared port for wireless printing from older laptop models.
• Does the baseline HP 4550 include a built-in network connection?
  No. This baseline model relies on direct local parallel connections. For factory-integrated internal network capabilities out of the box, consider the 4550n, 4550dn, or 4550hdn configurations, or add an internal Jetdirect card.
• Why does the color print engine run slower than monochrome print jobs?
  This printer utilizes a 4-pass laser architecture. While black text documents can be finalized in a single internal rotation, full color files require four distinct cycles over the drum to precisely deposit and blend the separate layers of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toners.
