THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

HP identifies the Color LaserJet Enterprise M652dn as a color print-only device rated up to 50 pages per minute. The U.S. page lists standard automatic duplex, a 100-sheet multipurpose tray, a 550-sheet main tray, Gigabit Ethernet and USB. HP's exact-model support specification gives a recommended monthly range of 2,000–14,000 pages. Wireless requires an accessory. HP lists more than one voltage configuration and says supply varies by part number, so this review does not assign a candidate-specific voltage. The configuration is materially different from the M652n, which has manual rather than automatic duplex.

Consider it for

A wired shared color queue that needs automatic two-sided printing and has a monthly workload within HP's published range..

Look elsewhere if

Choose another model if you need copy or scan functions, built-in Wi-Fi, a light personal workload, or a confirmed voltage before the exact part number is known.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • HP rates this color print-only model at up to 50 ppm and lists automatic duplex as standard.
  • The 100-sheet multipurpose feed and 550-sheet main tray provide two standard paper paths.
  • Gigabit Ethernet and USB are documented, with a 2,000–14,000 page recommended monthly range.

What to weigh up

  • The printer does not add copy, scan, or fax functions to a workstation.
  • Wireless requires an optional accessory and is not built in as standard on the reviewed configuration.
  • HP says electrical supply depends on part number, so the exact voltage needs a matching product code.

Full review: how the features affect your choice

What the features mean for you

Choose the dn configuration for automatic duplex

HP distinguishes the M652dn from the M652n in its M652/M653 specification material. The dn has standard automatic two-sided printing; the n uses manual duplex. This matters when a shared queue regularly produces longer reports because the M652dn can turn pages without requiring someone to separate and refeed a stack. The model name on an offer should include the dn suffix. A generic M652 listing or a photograph of another suffix does not prove that the automatic-duplex configuration is included.

Color output at an enterprise rated pace

HP rates the M652dn at up to 50 pages per minute and documents color printing. That can suit a shared queue producing forms, presentation handouts, or marked-up documents where monochrome output would not meet the task. The rating is a manufacturer specification, not a prediction for a particular file, network, or used machine. Because this is print-only, teams still need separate copy and scan equipment. If color is merely occasional, compare the paper system and running needs of a smaller printer before choosing enterprise capacity.

Two standard feed paths hold common paper

The U.S. product page lists a 550-sheet main input and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray. Keeping a common office stock in the cassette while using the multipurpose path for another supported size or media can reduce setup changes. The combined standard input is 650 sheets; this does not establish what optional drawers are present on a particular offer. Confirm both installed paths and supported media in the exact manual, especially when buying an older unit. The tray capacity is useful context, not a monthly workload recommendation.

Plan a wired location unless the wireless option is verified

HP documents Gigabit Ethernet and USB for the M652dn, while wireless requires an accessory. Ethernet is a practical way to share a fixed office queue; USB may suit a directly attached host. Do not treat the dn suffix as proof that a wireless module is installed. If a cable-free setup is essential, ask for the accessory part and verify the installed module against HP's compatibility information. This is a connection decision separate from whether the engine can print color or duplex pages.

Use HP's recommended range and verify the power variant

HP gives a recommended monthly range of 2,000–14,000 pages for the exact model family. This is the relevant workload guidance for matching a routine, unlike maximum duty cycle or ppm. The source lists multiple voltage configurations and warns that supply varies by part number, so the model name alone cannot establish which electrical version a candidate represents. Confirm the exact label and site supply before purchase. The manufacturer specification cannot show a used unit's page count, maintenance state, toner, or present offer condition.

Compare for your needs

The M652n is a related manual-duplex option; choose a color MFP instead when copy or scan functions belong at the same station.

Before you buy

Is the M652dn an all-in-one printer?

No. HP lists the M652dn as a color printer; copy and scan functions are not part of this configuration.

Does the M652dn print both sides automatically?

Yes. HP's M652/M653 specification distinguishes standard automatic duplex on the dn from manual duplex on the n.

What monthly workload does HP recommend?

HP gives the M652 series a recommended range of 2,000–14,000 pages per month for this model family.
