Dubai, UAE, 23 December 2007: The flatbed HP LaserJet M2727 MFP (multi-function printer) series is designed for small- and medium-sized businesses and small work teams in enterprise environments who need a versatile device for high volume print and copy jobs while saving time, space and money.

Fully featured, the compact and reliable HP LaserJet M2727 MFP series offers fast printing and copying speeds of up to 26 ppm, a first-page-out in less than ten seconds, professional black and white printing quality and colour scanning. Integrated networking, a new fax solution and a host of additional features make it an ideal printer to increase productivity.

The HP LaserJet M2727 MFP series includes a CCD scanner with instant-on LED illumination, which ensures higher quality scans and a faster first copy out while using less energy. Unlike most other CCD/Reduction Optics scan modules that use mercury-based CCFL (fluorescent) lamps, the CCD scanner with LED illumination comes mercury-free.

Additionally, users benefit from a choice of two Original HP print cartridge options: one for high performance everyday printing and the other for use in high-volume printing environments.
