With HP Auto–on/Auto-off technology, M404dn saves up to 18% energy over prior products. If you concern about print speed and text output quality in a straight-up, this LaserJet Pro is a reasonable choice for small office or workgroup.

Customers barely have complaints about the M404dn's output. Even the decorative and somewhat uncommon fonts come out well-shaped and legible, and standard fonts look suitable even at tiny point sizes, without any faults to the naked eye. Grayscale graphics have solid backgrounds devoid of banding or streaking, and even the smallest hairlines (less than 1 point) print evenly and unbroken from end to end.

Embedded grayscale photographs look okay, with adequate variances in shades of gray, though detail left a little to be desired. You wouldn't, of course, use this monochrome laser printer for churning out your family's printing, but the text, graphics, and image output is indeed good enough for most business applications.
