HP LaserJet Enterprise 8501x Specifications

The HP LaserJet Enterprise 8501x is a monochrome A3 laser printer with no scanning, copying, or fax hardware. Printing comes from a laser imaging system that uses one black toner cartridge. A 4.3-inch WQVGA color touchscreen sits on the control panel. The machine has 6 GB of memory for processing print jobs, and a 256 GB SSD stores printer data.

Black printing runs at up to 70 ppm, and the first page can come out in as little as 5.6 seconds from ready mode. Fine-line output reaches 1200 x 1200 dpi. Automatic duplex printing is built in for compatible two-sided paper sizes. HP specifies a maximum monthly duty cycle of 250,000 pages and a recommended monthly print volume of up to 60,000 pages.

Five input locations hold a combined 2,180 sheets. The first is a 100-sheet multipurpose tray, followed by four trays rated for 520 sheets each. Paper sizes extend to A3 and 11 x 17 inches. Tray 1 accepts media from 60 to 325 g/m², while the four lower trays take weights up to 300 g/m². Finished pages leave the print path through a 500-sheet standard output area.

For wired networking, the printer has Gigabit Ethernet. Its USB hardware consists of a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 host port, a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 device port, and a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 host port. Wireless networking is not built into the standard configuration and requires an optional HP Jetdirect accessory. Wi-Fi Direct likewise depends on compatible optional wireless hardware. With the standard hardware installed, the printer measures 23 x 27.4 x 38.2 inches and weighs about 206.62 lb.
