HP LaserJet Pro 500 color mfp M570dn printer

The HP LaserJet Pro 500 Color MFP M570dn is a color laser multifunction printer that provides respectable speed, very good graphics quality, HP’s ePrint, and Web apps controlled through a color touch screen. It lags in paper capacity, its output quality for text and photos was a bit sub-par, and it has somewhat high running costs, but is still a solid and capable machine.

The M570dn prints, copies, faxes, and scans; it can fax either from its 3.5-inch color touch screen or from a computer (PC Fax). You can scan to a USB thumb drive, email, or a network folder. It has a 50-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) for faxing, scanning, or copying multi-page documents unattended. It can scan at up to legal size using the ADF.

This MFP measures 21.2 by 20.3 by 19.7 inches (HWD) and weighs 90 pounds, too big to share a desk with, and you’ll need at least two people to move it into place. The M570dn has a 350-sheet standard paper capacity, split between a 250-sheet input tray and 100-sheet multipurpose tray. It has an automatic duplexer for printing on both sides of a sheet of paper.

The M570dn is ePrint enabled; HP assigns an e-mail address to the printer (which you can later customize), you can send documents to that address, and the printer will automatically print them out (as long as it’s connected to the Internet).
