The OfficeJet 4650 scanned a 300-dpi black-and-white PDF in 10.6 seconds, beating out the much slower Epson ET-2550. The OfficeJet 4650 made a color copy in 34.4 seconds, which was on a par with other inkjets we've tested recently. The OfficeJet 4650 took close to 3 minutes to make a black-and-white, two-sided copy of a six-page document. Just as with printing double-sided pages, making two-sided copies will result in the “ink is drying” message on the LCD.
The ADF draws in sheets very slowly, making it not very suitable if you need a lot of multipage copies. At 22.4 seconds per page, it's faster than just copying a single page, on average, but it's still just 2.7 ppm. The OfficeJet 4650 took 1:52 to copy a five-page document. Unfortunately, you won't get a quick turnaround using the ADF, either. The HP Envy 5540 was a little faster, while the Epson ET-2550 spit out a copy in just 10.9 seconds. But the OfficeJet 4650 was disappointingly slow on this test, taking 26.5 seconds to copy a single page of text. You might expect an office-oriented multifunction device to copy text pages quickly. The HP Envy 5540 was quicker than both, though. More impressively, the OfficeJet 4650 printed a high-resolution photo on letter-size glossy paper in roughly half the time of the Epson ET-2550, clocking in at roughly 3 minutes, while the Epson took almost 6 minutes. MORE: Epson WorkForce WF-2540 All-in-One Printer Review The wait in between pages could be as much as 17 seconds while an “ink is drying” message appeared on the LCD. Our six-page graphics document printed in a little more than 4 minutes. HP's Envy 5540, by comparison, was done in 2:40.Īs with text printing, using the duplexer on a graphics document slowed the printing speed of the OfficeJet 4650. The OfficeJet 4650 took almost three-and-a-half minutes to print a six-page document of mixed text and graphics. The same five-page document printed in 1 minute, 31 seconds, or just 3.3 ppm.Īdding graphics to the mix also slowed things down considerably. Using the duplexer to make two-sided prints slowed the print speed dramatically. Using the OfficeJet 4650's quiet-mode feature only decreased the noise level in a minor way and slowed text printing to 5 ppm. The HP Envy 5540 took just a little less than 40 seconds, while the Epson ET-2550 printed the document in 42 seconds. The OfficeJet 4650 churned out our five-page text document in 33 seconds, or 9.1 pages per minute (ppm). The OfficeJet 4650 printed a text document faster than a couple of other inkjets we recently tested - the HP Envy 5540 and the Epson ET-2550.
Specifications say the 4650 has an automatic paper sensor, but every time I opened the paper tray, the LCD displayed a message: “Did you load plain paper, letter?” However, the message goes away after a few seconds if you don't respond by pressing “OK.” Print Speed One interesting touch is that a 2-inch-wide arm swings out from the body automatically to serve as the output tray's paper catch. The OfficeJet 4650's control panel is a simple affair, with no dedicated buttons other than the Home and Back buttons to the left of the small, 2.2-inch monochrome touch screen. I learned to pick them up or slide them off the left or right side. The front bevel of the scanner platen has a seam that documents tended to get caught on when I tried to slide them off. You'll need vertical clearance, because the scanner lid does not have supporting hinges. DesignĪtop the OfficeJet 4650 is the automatic document feeder (ADF), where you can load multipage documents for copying, scanning or faxing.
