HP 4350 Does Not Support Legal Backs

At 55 pages per minute, HP’s new 4350 is an attractive option for many firms looking for a secretarial/workgroup printer. But firms should carefully review its specifications to understand one significant limitation. The maximum paper size supported by the HP 4350 is 8 ½ x 14. The LaserJet 4350 takes full advantage of built-in timing mechanisms to more proactively detect paper jams and other problems. The printer "knows" how long varying paper sizes take to pass through the roller and, if a sheet takes longer than the anticipated time, the printer generates an error. The error will cause the printer to stop accepting print jobs until the printer's power is recycled. If you are attempting to print legal backs longer than 14 inches, you may want to consider an HP 5100.
