The 4630 is a bit lacking in terms of performance. It's called Instant Ink, and it keeps track of your usage as you print and then it automatically sends you a new cartridge when you're running low. You can either purchase XL capacity cartridges from HP and that'll cost you a bit more up front, but you get more ink in the reservoir, or you can opt into HP's latest, newest ink program. So to save money on consumables, you can actually use the auto-duplexer built in to print on both sides of a single sheet of paper.īut to save ink you really only have two options. Of course, the disadvantage of that tricolor cartridge is that you'll have to replace the entire thing when even one color runs out.

Lift up the middle part here, and you'll see the cartridge bay.Īnd the other actually holds three different colors in one cartridge. That's a service that sends photos to the printer from anywhere, using the unique email address. That way, you can print from the cloud using services like Apple Air Print, Google Cloud Print, and HP's own E-print. You can hook it up to a computer with just a USB cable, but HP really wants you to connect it with a wireless router. Setup is also really easy, which is really no small feat for a printer. You'll use that to batch, scan, and fax, and the adjustable sliders let you use all different kinds of paper, different sizes, and things like heavy card stock, letters, and more. It can hold a hundred sheets of plain paper in the tray, and you can also put an extra 35 sheet stack into the auto document feeder on top. So taking a closer look, the 4630 has a new design for HP, that puts the paper tray on the bottom, and that gets it out of the way so you can push the printer up against a wall, and you won't lose any of those functions. It's a midrange multifunction printer, but unlike most of these things that use a copier to send faxes over the Internet, this one actually We have the fax machine built in too.

Hey, it's Justin from c|net, and this is a first look at the HP OfficeJet 4630.
