HP LaserJet 5000n

Description: The HP LaserJet 5000N is a 16 ppm, monochrome workgroup laser printer.Compared to other monochrome workgroup lasers on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $335.This unit features 1200dpi.

Pros: Equipped with an network connection, the HP LaserJet 5000N can act as a standalone print-server.At 850 sheets, without optional media trays, the HP LaserJet 5000N can handle more printouts without refilling than would many comparable printers.

Suitability: A monochrome workgroup laser printer, suited for high volume document printing.This printer can handle DIN A3 (12.2 in x 17.2 in) documents.

Value: In view of its relatively inexpensive price, this laser printer has good features for the money.
