HP Color Laserjet 5500dn Printer Toner Goes A Long Way

HP is one of the leading producers of printers today. The HP Color LaserJet 5500dn printer using 5500dn printer toner cartridge is one of the printers that the company has built in the 5500 line. This particular version uses the company’s Jetdirect print server to give fast prints using an Ethernet connection. Also making this model different is the additional 500 sheet feeder tray and stand which is not included with the base model.

Built into all the 5500 printers is a 160 MB SDRAM. For more memory, the SDRAM can be increased to 544 MB. Additionally, a 10 GB hard drive can be added that can store often used documents.

You will find that the print speed is faster than that of previous models. The machine is now able to print in color and black at 21 ppm. The first print can be produced in as little as 18 seconds when the machine is in the ready state. From a cold start or when the machine is first turned on in the morning, the delay may be two minutes as the machine takes time to warm up and go through its cycling process.

Connection to the computers in your network is made easy using the 400 MHz processor that is included with this machine. The print driver is a little slow during the installation due to its size. You will need enough memory on the computers for installation.

This 5500dn toner cartridge uses an in line color and black process that applies toner directly to the pages in a 600×600 dpi process that produces clear text and color prints. Colors are found to be both realistic and bright. Text is also crisp.

As sold, the printer has two paper trays which can accommodate 600 sheets of paper. If you need a larger capacity, you can purchase two additional paper trays that each hold five hundred sheets of paper. To print envelopes, you can feed up to 20 in a stack through the MP tray. The printer accepts sheets of paper that are from letter to ledger in size for printing. It will also print on transparencies, card stock or labels with little to no trouble.

The output tray holds 250 sheets of paper as standard equipment on the machine when purchased. It is not possible to add more capacity to this tray and sorters are not available for the printer.

This machine is capable of making two sided prints. The duplex printing capability allows these prints to be made without having to run the paper through a second time. You will have to staple prints yourself.

There is a one year standard onsite warranty included in the purchase price of the machine. Additionally, the machine is shipped with full toner cartridges installed for immediate printing. The package also includes the need software for installation of the machine with either PCs or Macs.

Prints are produced quickly and clearly with the HP Color LaserJet 5500dn toner cartridges and the power up cycle is very quick. It is much more cost effective when ordering cartridge from online merchants.
