Monochrome laser printer for small offices

The HP LaserJet Pro M501dn J8H61A prints up to 45 ppm in black only, with automatic duplex and a first-page-out time of 5.7 seconds. A 2-line LCD provides status text, and connectivity includes Hi-Speed USB 2.0 plus Gigabit Ethernet for wired network sharing. It accepts HP 87A (~9,000 yield) and HP 87X (~18,000 yield) toner cartridges.

Teams needing fast black output, not colour or Wi-Fi

This model suits workgroups that print high volumes of monochrome documents and want Ethernet reliability. Buyers who need colour printing, wireless connectivity, or a larger touchscreen interface should look at a different product. The 100,000-page monthly duty cycle supports heavy daily use.

45 ppm duplex speed decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 45 ppm black print speed combined with automatic duplexing. If your workflow requires that throughput for double-sided reports, this is the right part; if you need slower or faster output, choose accordingly.

Questions about this item

Will the 100,000-page monthly duty cycle handle our department's peak workload without wearing out the engine?

The printer is rated for up to 100,000 pages per month, so sustained heavy use stays within the manufacturer's durability limit.

How loud and hot does the M501dn get when it runs continuously at 45 ppm all day?

The 250-sheet output bin and automatic duplex keep paper handling smooth during long runs, while the 5.7-second first-page time means the engine spends less time idling at high temperature.

Which toner cartridge must I have on hand before the first print job?

The printer works with HP 87A (~9,000 yield) or HP 87X (~18,000 yield) black toner cartridges; install one of those to start printing.
