The Hewlett Packard 5000 Series Printers – Establishing New Standards For Office Devices
A small business that is in need of a monochrome printer may want to take a look at the HP LaserJet 5000 printer. It comes out of the box with the drivers ready to work with both Windows and Mac. It is also made for workgroup network printing. And with high-quality HP LaserJet 5000 Laser Toner included, you can print for ages without worrying about refills.
The warm up time for printing takes about 12.2 seconds. Once it is going, it will give high quality 1200 dots per inch printing and is quite capable of giving professional quality business cards. The duty cycle per month is 65,000 pages. This will not always be needed but it is good to know it can deliver when business is heavy or there is a heavy promotional period. There does not need to be a lot of toner cartridges on hand because a high yield cartridge is included. It will print out 10,000 pages before needing to be replaced.
This printer has a standard paper tray and a multipurpose tray. The standard tray holds 250 sheets of paper while the multipurpose tray will hold up to 100 sheets. The output trays do not match up to the input trays as they will hold only 300 pages. There is a sensor that will stop printing when the output tray is full so there are no papers falling on the floor.
There is an optional duplex tray available. For an office that does a lot of two sided printing, this can be a real time saver. If paper is being refilled frequently, there are two other paper trays available. One will hold 250 sheets and the other holds 500 sheets. The maximum number of trays that it can hold is four. With a 500 sheet bin, the total output capacity without adding more paper is 850 sheets.
This printer can handle printing transparencies, labels and card stock up to 53 lbs. The multipurpose tray is ideal for the card stock printing. Whether the job is general office printing or promotional items that are necessary the print quality will be the same. Paper size printing capability is for paper as small as 3 x 5 inches and as large as 11 x 17 inches.
The standard memory is 4MB of RAM but can be expanded to 164 MB. Three additional DIMM slots are available for memory expansion. The memory comes in 4, 6, 8, 16, and 32 MB. The processor is a 100 MHz RISC microprocessor. The expanded memory and processor allows for faster printing on a network. The enhanced I/O card on the HP Jetdirect 600n allows for speedy network printing.
The printer is able to sit on a desktop if necessary. It is 19.1 inches in width, 19 inches in length and 12.8 inches in height and weighs 46 pounds. The size is convenient but at this weight, a printer cart may be needed. In addition to the slots for RAM memory expansion, there is flash memory at 2 to 4 MB. These hold memory permanently even when the printer is off. There is a parallel IEEE1284 port and a 232C serial port to connect it to the computer.
This HP LaserJet 5000 printer has many capabilities and comes with quality HP Printer Toners. It is able to help save money with its high yield HP LaserJet 5000 Toner which is standard. Money can also be saved by printing some items in house. Letterhead, business cards, and some brochures can all be done without sending them to a commercial printer.
