HP Color LaserJet 3700 (Q1321A)

Colour laserprinter with a throughput of 16 pages per minute in mono or colour. Models are:

• CLJ 3700 - Q1321A - 16ppm,
• CLJ 3700N - Q1322A - network version with a Jetdirect 620n
• CLJ 3700DN - Q1323A - network and duplex - two sided print.
• CLJ 3700DTN - Q1324A - network, duplex and a 500 sheet paper tray

The CLJ 3700 is based on the same engine as the CLJ 3500 and 3550 but is somewhat faster and better specified.

The CLJ 3700 has support for conventional print languages, PCL 5C, PCL 6 and Postrscript 3 emulation. The 3500 relies on host-based processing and lacks expansion options.

The CLJ 3700 has better connectivity options with USB, parallel and an EIO slot. It also ships with more memory (128 MB) and can be upgraded

The CLJ 3700 has a duplex option which the others do not.

The CLJ3700 uses the same 6,000 page black cartridge but also has 6,000 page cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges.

All these printers use an inline arrangement of cartridges to achieve reasonable speeds for colour. The CLJ_3700 seems not to have a direct successor - the engine used in the CLJ_3800 is (rather oddly) rebadged as the CLJ CP3505.
