1—Ease of use
2—Versatility
3—Total cost of ownership
4—Reliability
5—Performance
6—Output quality
7—Network management solutions

During your evaluation, we invite you to compare the HP LaserJet M4345 MFP series to other competing products to see
why it is the best choice for your workplace.
Evaluation guidelines
As you design tests and conduct your evaluation, remember the following guidelines:
• Consider the typical end-user’s printing, scanning, faxing, copying, and digital sending needs.
• Simulate the end-user’s environment.
• When testing more than one product, try to make a fair comparison between products by setting up in
the same environment and testing similar settings and configurations.
• Analyze each of the elements of the printing process, but remember that the elements work together as
part of the whole solution. (For instance, performance claims mean very little if documents print
incorrectly or with poor quality.)
