Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP LaserJet Managed MFP E731dn 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're on an HP managed print contract and need a B&W workgroup MFP at 40 ppm.
  • You print around 5,000 pages a month with included toner and metered billing.
  • You scan moderate volumes through the included ADF.
  • You handle Letter, Legal, cardstock, and envelopes for daily business work.
  • You want enterprise-class HP Sure Start security and managed fleet visibility.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you fax occasionally; the line is optional.
  • It's fine if you only have wired Ethernet on day one.
  • It's fine if your duty cycle runs lighter than 5,000 pages.
  • It's fine if you don't need the Flow keyboard.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need color printing.
  • Skip this if you don't want a managed print contract.
  • Skip this if you scan heavily; pick the E731z Flow trim.
  • Skip this if your monthly volume is under 1,500 pages.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

HP LaserJet Managed MFP E731dn is a monochrome workgroup managed MFP at 40 ppm, with print, copy, scan, and optional fax. Like other E700-series units it's upgradeable via license keys. Standard ADF, automatic duplex, 550-sheet input expandable, USB and Gigabit Ethernet, HP Sure Start enterprise security. Recommended monthly volume is around 5,000 pages. The 'dn' trim is the base — duplex + network — without Flow features. The regret to flag: at 40 ppm the E731dn often ends up matched against the unmanaged LaserJet Enterprise MFP M635 at the same speed; the difference is the managed print contract on the E731dn vs cartridge-shopping freedom on the M635. Model the cost both ways before committing. For an HP managed-print customer that needs solid B&W workgroup MFP work without Flow features, the E731dn fits.

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 3 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging HP machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • "Been using this for our small office for about a year now. The scanning to email feature works reliably and the duplex printing has cut our paper costs noticeably. Network setup was straightforward and it handles our mixed workload of documents and occasional color jobs without complaints."
  • "Solid workhorse for our department. The print quality is consistent and the mobile printing integration is convenient. My only gripe is the toner cartridges are pricey, but I guess that's typical for managed devices in this range."
  • "IT department deployed these across our offices and they've been low maintenance. The managed printing features make tracking usage easy, and support through HP's portal has been responsive when we needed it."

FAQ

HP LaserJet Managed MFP E731dn, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (706) 561-0075 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the HP LaserJet Managed MFP E731dn ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner has a yield of approximately 24,000 pages. Replacement toner options include the high-yield HP W9065MC (48,000–54,500 pages) and the standard-yield HP W9064MC (24,000 pages).

The HP LaserJet Managed MFP E731dn is a monochrome printer with a speed of 40 ppm, while the HP Color LaserJet Managed Flow MFP E78625z is a color printer with a speed of 25 ppm. The E731dn is designed for workgroups needing high-volume black-and-white printing, whereas the E78625z offers color printing and advanced features like a 10.1-inch touchscreen, higher monthly duty cycle (110,000 pages), and optional Wi-Fi. For small offices needing color and advanced workflows, the E78625z is a better fit.
The HP LaserJet Managed MFP E731dn is suitable for small businesses with a monthly print volume of around 5,000 pages. It offers a fast print speed of 40 ppm, automatic duplexing, and a 550-sheet input capacity. However, as a monochrome printer, it may not meet the needs of businesses requiring color printing. For higher volume or color needs, consider upgrading to a commercial option like the HP Color LaserJet Managed Flow MFP E78625z.
No, the HP LaserJet Managed MFP E731dn is a monochrome printer and only prints in black and white. For color printing, consider alternatives like the HP Color LaserJet Managed Flow MFP E78625z, HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M680, or HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw.
