HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M527f Toner Cartridges

Design

At almost a quarter of the size of its predecessor, the HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M527f multi-function laser monochrome printer weighs in at 48.5 pounds and measures just 19 inches wide by 19.5 inches deep by 19.6 inches high, making it a relatively compact solution for the modern office space. Task control and status are easily accessible on an eight-inch touch screen display, while front-loading trays and cartridge access add to the overall ease of use. The pre-installed toner cartridge means that users can go from unpack to print in minimal time.

Advantages

This printer is one of the fastest in its class, going from sleep to first printed page in just 8.7 seconds, or 5.7 seconds from ready. Actual print speeds of up to 43 A4 black and white pages per minute are achievable for single-sided print jobs, while double-sided printing comes in at 34 impressions per minute. The scanning and copying functions are integrated, and the two-sided scanner means that documents can be entered at a speed of 45 impressions per minute for monochrome A4. The HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M527f complies with the criteria for both Energy Star and Blue Angel energy efficiency accreditation, making it a conscientious and economical choice for office managers. The standard input of 650 sheets can be optionally upgraded to a maximum of 2,300 sheets to minimise the time spent on paper changes.

Disadvantages

The HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M527f comes in at the top end of the price range for models of this type, and it lacks a colour printing option.
