HP LaserJet Enterprise 700 Printer - M712dn (CF236A)

The HP LaserJet Enterprise 700 M712dn (CF236A) is designed for high-volume office environments where reliable A3 monochrome laser printing is required. Fast performance and professional print quality are delivered through advanced laser technology, making it suitable for departments that regularly print reports, technical documents, spreadsheets, and large-format office materials. A print speed of up to 41 pages per minute ensures that heavy workloads are handled efficiently while minimizing wait times.

Consistent productivity is supported through an automatic duplex printing system, allowing double-sided documents to be produced without manual intervention. Businesses that require high-capacity printing will benefit from a monthly duty cycle of up to 100,000 pages, making this printer suitable for demanding enterprise environments. Integrated networking and mobile printing support also enable documents to be printed from various devices across the office network.

Flexible connectivity and strong processing power allow the printer to be integrated easily into modern IT infrastructures. An 800 MHz processor, built-in Gigabit Ethernet, and multiple connectivity ports ensure stable communication with connected devices. In addition, advanced security protocols are supported to help protect sensitive business documents and network access.

Key Features

High-Speed Enterprise Printing

A fast print speed of up to 41 ppm is delivered for A4 documents, ensuring that large print jobs are completed quickly. The first page is produced in as fast as 10.5 seconds, which reduces waiting time and keeps workflow interruptions to a minimum.

Professional Monochrome Print Quality

Sharp and detailed documents are produced with print resolutions of up to 1200 × 1200 dpi. Text, charts, and graphics are printed clearly, making the printer suitable for business reports and professional documentation.

Automatic Duplex Printing

Two-sided printing is provided as a standard feature. Paper consumption can therefore be reduced, and document organization becomes more efficient for office workflows.

Enterprise-Level Performance

A monthly duty cycle of up to 100,000 pages is supported, allowing the device to operate reliably in demanding workgroups. For optimal performance and longevity, a recommended monthly print volume of 5,000 to 20,000 pages is suggested.

Advanced Network and Mobile Printing

Built-in Gigabit Ethernet networking allows the printer to be shared across office teams. Mobile printing compatibility is supported through HP ePrint, Apple AirPrint™, and Mopria™, enabling printing directly from smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

Expandable Paper Handling

Flexible paper handling options are provided to accommodate different office needs. Optional trays and high-capacity feeders can be added to increase input capacity for larger print volumes.

Energy-Efficient Operation

Energy-saving technologies such as HP Auto-On/Auto-Off Technology and Instant-On Technology are implemented to reduce electricity consumption while maintaining fast printer responsiveness.
