Printer features
Color printing ● Capable of laser printing in full color using the four process colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black.
Fast print speed ● Prints A4/letter-size paper at 16 ppm for black or 4 ppm for color.
Excellent print quality ● True 600 by 600 dots per inch (dpi) text and graphics.
● ImageREt 2400 provides 2400 dpi color laser-class quality through a multilevel printing process.
● Adjustable settings to optimize print quality.
● The HP UltraPrecise print cartridge has a finer toner formulation that provides sharper text and
graphics.
Ease of use ● Few supplies to order. Supplies are easy to install.
● Convenient access to printer information and settings using software tools (HP Color LaserJet
2500 Toolbox, embedded Web server, Printer Status and Alerts).
Expandability ● Optional tray 2. Included with the 2500, 2500n, and 2500tn models; compatible with the 2500L
model. This 250-sheet tray for standard sizes reduces the frequency with which you have to add
paper to the printer. Only one 250-sheet tray can be installed on the printer.
● Tray 3. Included with the 2500tn model; compatible with the 2500L, 2500, and 2500n models.
This 500-sheet tray for letter and A4 sizes reduces how often you have to add paper to the
printer. Only one 500-sheet tray can be installed on the printer. Optional tray 2 must be installed
to install an optional tray 3.
● Optional HP Jetdirect print server card for connecting to a network. Included with the 2500n and
2500tn models; compatible with the 2500L and 2500 models.
● Two DIMM slots for adding memory and fonts.
Flexible paper handling ● Adjustable tray 1 (multipurpose tray) for letterhead, envelopes, labels, grayscale transparencies,
custom-sized media, postcards, and heavy paper.
● Optional tray 2 (250-sheet tray) for standard-size paper.
● Optional tray 3 (500-sheet tray) for letter- and A4-size paper. (Optional tray 2 must be installed in
order to install optional tray 3.)
● One 125-sheet output bin and one output door. Select the top output bin (face down) for most
jobs, including grayscale transparencies. Use the rear output door (face up) for jobs on heavy
paper, light paper, or special print media.
● Straight-through paper path capability from tray 1 to the rear output door.
● Manual duplexing. See “Printing on both sides (duplexing manually)” on page 48 .
Printer control language
(PCL) printer language and
fonts ● Fast printing performance, built-in Intellifont and TrueType™ scaling technologies, built-in
HP-GL/2 vector graphics, and advanced imaging capabilities are benefits of the PCL 6 printer
language. PCL 6 also includes 45 scalable TrueType fonts and one bitmapped Line Printer Font.
PCL 6 printer language also included.
PostScript (PS) 3 emulation
language and fonts ● PS 3 emulation with 35 built-in PS language fonts included.
Automatic language
switching ● The printer automatically determines and switches to the appropriate printer language (such as
PS 3 emulation) for the print job.
Interface connections ● Bidirectional ECP type-B parallel port (IEEE-1284 compliant).
● USB port. A parallel cable and a USB cable cannot be connected at the same time. If they are,
USB disables itself.
● EIO slot in the 2500L and 2500 models. The 2500n and 2500tn models include the optional
HP Jetdirect print server card.
