PRHP3QA55A

Overview:

HP’s entry-level Enterprise-class Color MFP with speeds up to 28 ppm and strongest security. 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:

Easy to use, simple to manage

• HP FutureSmart firmware can be updated with the latest features to optimise your investment for years to come.
• Centralise control of your printing environment with HP Web Jetadmin – and help build business efficiency.
• Easily enable workflows across your fleet with a consistent user experience and intuitive, tablet-like icons.
• Set up this MFP fast, and easily manage device settings to help increase efficiency.

HP’s most secure printing

• The operating code (BIOS) is automatically checked during startup and repairs itself if compromised.
• Common Criteria certified to continually monitor memory activity to detect and stop attacks in real time.
• Firmware is automatically checked during startup to determine if it’s authentic code – digitally signed by HP.
• The printer’s outgoing network connections are inspected to stop suspicious requests and thwart malware.
• Simplify collaboration and productivity with a streamlined MFP that supports how people work today: fast, nimble, and connected. Print premium colour documents businesses need to look professional day in and day out, plus scan and copy with ease.

Enhanced productivity to empower work teams

• Give workgroups what they need to succeed with hundreds of HP and third-party solutions and card reader support.
• Optimise workflows, reduce steps and errors, and support mobile workers with optional MFP apps that meet your specific business needs.
• Help ensure the security of confidential information with PIN/Pull printing to retrieve print jobs.
• Stay connected with an optional accessory for wireless, Bluetooth® Low Energy, and NFC touch-to-print.
• Easily manage projects directly at the MFP with a customisable 10.9 cm (4.3 inch) colour touchscreen.

Sustainability is smart business

• Help save paper right out of the box. Two-sided (duplex) printing is set at default for automatic savings.
• Help reduce wasted paper and toner by only printing jobs that are truly needed, using HP Roam for Business.
• Save energy without sacrificing performance – this MFP is ENERGY STAR® and Blue Angel certified.
• Remove barriers and help meet compliance and accessibility standards with the HP Accessibility Kit (includes Braille overlay and tactile adhesives, an HP Access Handle, and BigKeys LX Keyboard) and compatibility with HP Accessibility Assistant.
