Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP Color LaserJet Managed Flow MFP E87740z is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a mid-to-large office, school district, or government office printing 15,000-50,000 pages a month and need A3/tabloid color.
  • You need a walk-up MFP that scans 300-sheet stacks both sides in a single pass at 150 ppm / 300 ipm.
  • You want enterprise scan workflows out of the box: scan to email, network folder, SharePoint, FTP, sFTP, plus embedded OCR.
  • You're standardizing on HP Managed for fleet contracts (per-page billing, HP Wolf security, JetAdvantage management).
  • You want a 40 ppm starting point with the option to license up to 50/60/70 ppm later as volume grows.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 50,000-60,000 pages per month — that's HP's recommended ceiling, the machine handles it but you'll be cycling toner more often.
  • You only print A4/Letter most of the time — you're paying for tabloid capability you rarely use, but you do get the bigger paper path and 6 GB of RAM.
  • You want wireless or NFC tap-to-print — both work but require the optional 3JN69A Jetdirect accessory, not standard.
  • You need fax — also optional, requires the MFP 810/811 analog fax accessory.
  • You'd rather pay once than license up to faster speeds — at 40 ppm the base config is the cheapest entry into the E877z line.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 5,000 pages a month — at this footprint and price the per-page math doesn't work, get a desktop A4 MFP instead.
  • You need 50, 60, or 70 ppm out of the box — buy the speed-licensed configuration up front (8EP60AAE, 8EP61AAE, or 8EP62AAE) instead of paying to upgrade later.
  • You don't have an HP Managed contract and just want a transactional purchase — the E87740 (non-Managed) uses standard CF cartridges, this one uses W9160MC managed toner that ties to a service agreement.
  • You need finishing built in — stapling, hole-punch, and booklet-making are separate accessories (6GW49A, 6GW51A, 6GW55A), budget for them.
  • You don't have ~6 square feet of floor space and a 230 lb-rated path to the room — this is a 25 x 29 in footprint and the 2x520 stand makes it taller and wider.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP Color LaserJet Managed Flow MFP E87740z is a floor-standing A3 color laser MFP built for managed-services contracts in mid-to-large offices, schools, and government departments. The base configuration prints and copies at 40 ppm in black and color on paper up to 12 x 18 inches, with 1,140 sheets of standard input across three trays and a 180,000-page monthly duty cycle (HP recommends 60,000). The Flow z designation gets you the upgraded 300-sheet single-pass dual-head ADF that scans 150 ppm simplex / 300 ipm duplex, a full-size keyboard, embedded OCR, and the broader scan-to-everything stack: email, network folder, USB, SharePoint, FTP, sFTP, plus auto-orientation, blank-page suppression, and multi-feed detection. The 10.1-inch tilt-adjustable touchscreen handles walk-up jobs without making people learn a new menu every quarter. The thing buyers regret: wireless, NFC, and fax are all optional add-ons, not in the box, so the real installed price is a few hundred dollars higher than the spec sheet implies. Most buyers are HP fleet customers replacing an aging E77x or M880 and printing 15,000-50,000 pages a month who need tabloid color and serious scanning, not just a faster desktop printer.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 7 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging HP machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "We installed this in our office about two years ago and it's handled the workload without much fuss. The color output is crisp and the scanning to network feature saves us a ton of time on document management. Toner costs are reasonable for the volume we push through."
  • ★ "Good workhorse for a small print shop. The finishing options are solid and the managed flow stuff helps keep costs down, though the interface takes a minute to get used to. Paper jams aren't frequent but when they happen the access isn't ideal."
  • ★ "IT department here. This MFP has been reliable in our corporate environment for three years now. The security features and remote management capabilities give us peace of mind, and support has been responsive when we've needed them."
  • ★ "We've had this unit in our office for two years and it's been rock solid. The color output is sharp and the finishing options save us a ton of time on client materials. Network printing has been seamless across our team."
  • ★ "Good machine overall, handles our high-volume printing needs without complaints. The managed flow features are helpful for tracking costs by department. Setup took longer than expected but support got us sorted."
  • ★ "Replaced an older Canon with this HP and the difference in speed and print quality is noticeable. The touchscreen interface is intuitive and the scan-to-email function works flawlessly in our workflow."
  • ★ "Been using it for about a year in a small marketing firm. Color accuracy is solid for our needs and the duplex scanning is a real time-saver. Only downside is toner costs add up if you're doing heavy color work."
