HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 Printer M603N

At 62 pages per minute, the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 Printer M603N ($1,499 direct) has the fastest rated speed of any printer we've reviewed. And its 275,000-page maximum monthly duty cycle, as well as substantial standard and optional paper capacity, pegs it for workgroups that print massive amounts of material. In our testing, it proved its mettle, printing out our test suite in a near-record pace. The M603N is very similar to the Editors' Choice HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 Printer M601DN ($899 direct, 4 stars)—a little faster, with a slightly higher duty cycle, and password-protected printing, but lacking an automatic duplexer and selling at a higher price. The M603N measures 15.7 by 16.3 by 20 inches (HWD) and weighs 58 pounds. The front panel has a 4-line monochrome LCD and some basic control buttons: Home, Help, Stop, and Back, plus a 2-way rocker control with center button. To the right is a numeric keypad for entering PIN numbers for password-protected printing; below the panel is a port for a USB thumb drive. The M603N has a standard 600-sheet paper capacity, between a 500-sheet main tray and a 100-sheet multipurpose feeder.
