HP LaserJet Pro M501dn Printer - 45ppm, Duplex, J8H61A
The HP LaserJet Pro M501dn Printer is a compact, network-ready monochrome laser printer built for busy offices that need high-volume output without sacrificing desk space. It prints at up to 45 pages per minute in black and handles automatic two-sided printing, making it well suited to workgroups producing large document runs daily. Its low energy draw and fast wake-from-sleep response mean it is ready when staff need it without running up power costs.
Why this product
45 ppm black print speed
It reaches up to 45 pages per minute on Letter paper and up to 43 ppm on A4, keeping pace with demanding workgroup print volumes.
Automatic duplex cuts paper use
Built-in automatic two-sided printing can reduce paper consumption by up to 50%, with duplex output reaching up to 34 images per minute on A4.
First page in as fast as 5.7 seconds
It wakes from energy-saving sleep mode and delivers the first printed page in as little as 5.7 seconds, so staff are not left waiting.
Up to 1,200-sheet paper capacity
A standard 650-sheet input across two trays can be expanded to 1,200 sheets with an optional third tray, reducing how often paper needs to be refilled.
ENERGY STAR certified with very low idle draw
It carries ENERGY STAR, Blue Angel, and EPEAT Silver certifications, and consumes just 1.3 W in sleep mode and 6.1 W when ready.
PIN printing and cartridge authentication
Jobs can be held on the printer and released only with a PIN via an optional USB drive, and built-in cartridge authentication helps verify Original HP toner.

Best for
- High-volume office workgroups printing between 1,500 and 6,000 pages per month, with a duty cycle ceiling of up to 100,000 pages.
- Offices with limited desk space that still need large paper capacity — the compact footprint starts at 418 × 376 × 289 mm.
- Energy-conscious organisations — ENERGY STAR, EPEAT Silver, and Blue Angel certifications back the low-energy design, with a TEC of 1.569 kWh/week.
- Offices requiring document security — PIN-protected job storage and anti-fraud cartridge authentication are built in.
- Mixed-OS environments needing wired network sharing — Gigabit Ethernet and broad OS support cover Windows, macOS, Linux, and Unix.
Trade-offs
- Colour printing — this is a monochrome-only laser printer; no colour output is available.
- Residential or home use — its FCC Class A emissions rating explicitly limits it to commercial environments.
- Scanning or copying — it is a print-only device with no scan, copy, or fax functions.
- Very low-volume users — the recommended monthly page volume starts at 1,500 pages, so light users would be over-specifying.
