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 Certain HP printers are intended to work only with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip or electronic circuitry. These printers use dynamic security measures to block cartridges using a non-HP chip or electronic circuitry. Periodic firmware updates will maintain the effectiveness of these measures and block cartridges that previously worked. Reused HP chips and electronic circuitry enable the use of reused, remanufactured, and refilled cartridges.

The operating code (BIOS) is automatically checked during startup and repairs itself if compromised. Common Criteria certified[2] 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. Safeguard data stored on this MFP – keys, passwords, certificates, and more – with the embedded HP Trusted Platform Module.[9]
