The LaserJet M2727 can make up to 99 copies at the rate of 27 monochrome pages per minute. The top-loading automatic document feeder allows for 50 single-sided originals up to 8.5” x 12”. The scanning feature has software support for TWAIN, STI, and Microsoft’s WIA protocols.

The optical resolution is 1200 dpi, and the included software can enhance it to a much higher resolutions. While prints and copies are in B & W, the M2727 can scan in straight black-and-white, 256 grayscale or in 24-bit color. Understanding the printing needs of today’s businesses and the software applications and suites they often use, HP has installed PCL 5e, PCL 6, and PostScript 3 emulators. Having a maximum resolution of 1200 dpi, the LaserJet prints excellent high-resolution monochrome text and graphics at speeds up to 27 pages per minute. A second 250-sheet tray can be purchased separately to give you the choice of having two different paper sizes.Īs a printer, the M2727 connects to your Mac or PC through USB 2.0, or via its built-in Ethernet. It named “priority” that because any media placed in the slot will immediately be used for the next print job, eliminating the “manual start print control” normally required when using multipurpose trays. Above the 250-sheet paper tray is what HP calls their “priority input slot” for envelopes and transparencies, and cardstock. The LaserJet M2727 can hold up to 250 sheets of letter-sized or legal-size paper up to 20 pounds paper weight. Features include 10-number address book, redial, and a phone keypad for manual dialing of fax numbers. Scanning, faxing and copying controls can be performed without the need for a computer interface. The platen design also allows for copying and scanning of items such as books or magazines, something that cannot be done with top-loaders without tearing the pages out.Īlthough a USB or computer network connection is required to run the printer, the control panel allows for the LaserJet M2727 to also function as a walk-up standalone machine for the other features. The 38-pound M2727 opts for the more traditional flat glass platen for scanning and copying.

Printing at 50.4dB, the M2727 is much quieter than its predecessor. Taking up a 20” x 16” space on a desk, the only thing you need to worry about is its 18-inch height. In spite of its awkward look, the M2727 has a smaller footprint than most 4-in-1’s.

Automatic 2-sided printing and the ability to handle 2-sided faxes, scans, and copies makes it a very useful all-in-one printer.Īt first glance the M2727 looks like a regular printer that someone glued a paper feeder with pontoons. Having all the features as the LaserJet 3390, the 2005 HP LaserJet M2727 is quieter and faster.
