Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Does the baseline HP 8500 include a built-in network terminal connection out of the box?
  No. This baseline model relies on direct local parallel connections. For built-in network capabilities, look at the 8500n or 8500dn configurations, or add an internal Jetdirect card to one of the open EIO terminals.
• Why does the color print engine run slower than monochrome print jobs?
  This departmental printer utilizes a traditional 4-pass laser architecture. While black text documents can be finalized in a single internal rotation, full color files require four distinct cycles over the drum to precisely deposit and blend the separate layers of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toners.
• What is the maximum sheet dimension capacity for wide-format media profiles run on this model?
  The large-chassis multi-tray paper system safely processes large architectural and banner media profiles measuring up to 12 inches wide by 18.5 inches long.
