HP Laserjet 8000

HP LaserJet 8000, 8000 N, and 8000 DN Printer

A3 mono laser printer aimed at providing reliable printing for multi-user and high volume print environments.

  • HP LaserJet 8000 - C4085A -: 16 MB RAM base model.
  • HP LaserJet 8000N - C4086A -: 16 MB RAM, Ethernet 10/100Base-TX.
  • HP LaserJet 8000DN - C4087A -: 24 MB RAM, network, duplex printing.

The LaserJet 8000 is successor to the 5Si and was introduced in May 1998 but was only on the market to 1999. It's general design was followed by the 8100 and 8150 and also appeared with a scanner as the Mopier 240 - a printer copier.

The main parts for the LaserJet 8000 are identical to those of the 5Si. The upgrade used the same engine but added a much improved 133MHz processor, 100 pin SDRAM memory and LJ 4000 style control panel that is intuitive to people who are not engineers.

The Cartridge is C3909A with 15,000 page yield and C3909X with 22,000 page yield. The 200 Volt fuser is RG5-4448 and the Maintenance Kit C3972-67903.

The fuser and maintenance kit no longer seem to be available new from HP. This is a pity, as although these printers are old they can do sterling work producing engineering diagrams and suchlike work.

Parts and accessories for the 5Si / 8000don't always fit later printers.

The 5Si was based on the Canon WX engine which was also used as the Canon LBP-WX, LBP2460, Lexmark Optra N Model 240 and 245 and QMS 2425.

Control:

LaserJet 4000 style 4 key control panel with a 2 line LCD display. WebJetAdmin for Web-based network printer management for remote installation, configuration and resource management.

Duty Cycle:

130,000 pages per month. This is higher than most office printers are asked to produce it is relatively low for a "production" printer used for catalogues and newsletters. The toner cartridge has a life of 15,000 pages at 5% page cover.

24 pages per minute (Fast by the standards of small printers but this isn't small)

Fuser:

A laser printer fuser bonds the plastic toner powder to the page using a combination of heat and pressure. The fuser used by the LJ 8000 is essentially a pair of heated rollers. The fuser life is limited by the possibility of the heater failing and the probability that the non-stick surface will fail after some number of pages.

Fuser Unit (200/240v) - RG5-4448

Maintenance Kit:

A maintenance kit provides a fuser and a set of the rollers that wear out due to use. Rollers are often changed at the same time as fusers because wear rates are similar.

New fusers for the 5Si and 8000 printers don't appear to be available from HP any more - they have been on the market for more than a decade and company policy is to make them available for 5 years.

Spares:

Regretably the commercial life of these printers seems to be drawing to a close with some HP parts no longer available. Other sources may continue for a while.
