Fast Professional Business Printing
The HP LaserJet Pro M404dw is built to keep business workflows moving. Its fast first-page-out time and 38ppm A4 print speed allow teams to produce reports, invoices, correspondence and contracts quickly, even during busy periods.
Automatic duplex printing reduces paper consumption and makes it easy to create professional double-sided reports, manuals and internal documents.
Flexible Wireless and Network Connectivity
Built-in dual-band Wi-Fi provides reliable wireless connectivity on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. Wi-Fi Direct allows compatible devices to connect directly to the printer without requiring access to the office router.
Gigabit Ethernet is also included for stable wired network deployment, making the M404dw suitable for both individual users and shared office workgroups.
Mobile Printing
Users can print from compatible smartphones, tablets and computers using Apple AirPrint, Mopria, Wi-Fi Direct and HP mobile printing solutions.
This provides convenient printing for staff, visitors and mobile workers without requiring every device to be connected by USB.
Business-Class Security
The M404dw includes built-in security features designed to help protect the printer, network connection and business documents. Features include secure firmware validation, encrypted communications, access controls, network protocol management and optional PIN-protected job storage when compatible external USB storage is installed.
High-Yield Toner for Lower Running Costs
The Australian and Asia-Pacific version of the M404dw uses HP 76-series toner cartridges.
- HP 76A CF276A: Approximately 3,000 pages
- HP 76X CF276X: Approximately 10,000 pages
The HP 76X high-yield toner reduces cartridge replacement frequency and provides a lower cost per page for businesses with regular monochrome printing requirements.

The printer includes a 250-sheet main input tray and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray for envelopes, labels, letterhead and specialty media.
An optional 550-sheet paper feeder can increase the maximum input capacity to approximately 900 sheets, making the printer more suitable for higher-volume workgroups.
