LP-HCM578Co specification sheet

Overview:

Ideal for 5-15 people printing up to 10,000 pages per month who want premium colour at fast speeds plus quick scanning and copying into workflows. Dynamic security enabled printer. This printer is intended to work only with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip, and it uses dynamic security measures to block cartridges using a non-HP chip. Periodic firmware updates will maintain the effectiveness of these measures and block cartridges that previously worked. A reused HP chip enables the use of reused, remanufactured, and refilled cartridges.

Features:

The world’s most secure printing
HP printers have the industry’s strongest security because they’re always on guard, continually stopping threats while adapting to new ones. And only HP printers can automatically self-heal from attacks, so IT doesn’t need to intervene.

Easy to use, simple to manage
Set up workgroups for success without adding more to your plate. Help teams thrive while allowing IT the control it needs to quickly handle business fleet-wide, using a streamlined MFP built for straightforward use and management.

Give workgroups the speed they need
Accelerate workflow, improve accuracy, and easily connect people throughout your organization. Complete high-volume scan jobs fast – up to 68 ipm – and avoid extra steps with a Flow MFP designed for maximum productivity.

Sustainability is smart business
Business is all about resource management, and finding efficiencies is everyone’s responsibility. HP LaserJet MFPs are designed with the environment in mind, so workgroups can complete tasks quickly while helping to conserve energy wherever possible.
