The HP LaserJet M3027 MFP series boosts productivity 
while preserving your budget with the key functions 
your workteam needs in a simple and reliable 
package. 
Increases productivity 
• See positive results when you consolidate print, copy, fax,1  
and send-to-e-mail functionality in one compact device that 
can be put just where your workteam needs it. 
• Get more done in less time. The MFP delivers print and  
copy speeds of up to 27 pages per minute (ppm) letter (up 
to 25 ppm A4) and a first page out in under 10 seconds 
with Instant-on Technology. The unique HP toner formula is 
engineered to deliver consistent, great-looking documents 
at fast speeds. 
• Scan and send your documents via e-mail. Get the digital 
sending features most suited to your office needs with 
convenient send-to-e-mail, simple address storage, and PIN 
authentication for added security. 
• Reduce interruptions. Reloading paper can steal your time 
and interrupt your work momentum. The MFP supports up 
to 1,100 sheets with a 100-sheet multipurpose tray and 
two 500-sheet trays.
• Automatic two-sided printing and copying conserves paper  
and saves time.¹ The device also includes a 50-sheet 
reversing automatic document feeder (ADF) for copying 
and scanning—finally each original doesn’t have to be 
manually fed.

• Reduce training and eliminate frustration. A radically  
simple control panel pulls all the functions of this MFP 
together with familiar Windows® emulation icons, 
automatic navigation, installation wizards, and help 
screens. 
World-renowned HP quality 
• Expect consistency. Original HP cartridges are carefully  
designed with HP Smart printing technology 
automatically optimize print quality and consistency 
throughout cartridge life, provide pages-remaining data 
and alerts when supplies run low, and facilitate convenient 
supplies reordering through HP SureSupply. 
up to 70% of the device’s printing system, each print 
cartridge replacement refreshes the whole MFP. 
• Eliminate the bottleneck. Complex jobs are not a problem  
with a 400 MHz processor and 256 MB of memory 
(expandable up to 512 MB on both models). Plus, a quick 
return to the application after printing means increased 
uptime. 
• Rely on flexible printing. The HP LaserJet M3027 MFP  
series uses industry-standard HP PCL5 and HP PCL6 to 
reliably process and deliver your most complex 
documents. HP postscript level 3 emulation adds the 
flexibility you need to print image-heavy jobs.

 Comprising

management tools via the HP Jetdirect Fast Ethernet 
embedded print server. Information on the network can be 
transferred quickly and reliably for increased workteam 
and IT efficiency.
