The printer is Energy Star compliant at an 'Active' rate of 560 watts and 'Standby' rate of 38-40 watts. The 'Standby' mode watt consumption is not too shabby, considering that there are printers that operate on 100 watts or more on 'Standby' mode. Its operational consumption of watts is respectable and should not hurt a business's bottom-line. The connectivity interface is made up of an HP JetDirect 175x Fast Ethernet external server, USB 1.1 port, and a Bidirectional IEEE-1284-C parallel port.

The 'Input' paper tray is made up of a multipurpose 100-sheet tray and a 500-sheet tray. The 'Output' is a 250-sheet tray that dishes out prints in a face-down manner.

Cons:

The printer might be a little noisy at an 'Active' acoustic of 51 decibels. Drivers for this printer are best used with 32-bit operating systems. There is no installer or toolbox support for 64-bit operating systems. HP emphasizes that all operating systems and protocol combinations are not supported. HP has more information on supportable combinations of operating systems. The memory is not upgradeable. The 4610 does not facilitate automatic duplex printing. It does not make much sense to give the printer a maximum duty cycle of 85000 pages per month but not include automatic duplex printing. The printer is not Wi-Fi capable. It may be possible through secondary hardware components. Its functionality is limited to 'printing-only'; no fax, scan, or copy.
