Keep your fleet secure at any time with HP JetAdvantage Security Manager
Competitive printers.
Advanced embedded security features are based on HP review of 2019 published embedded security features of competitive printers, as of February 2019.
Experience a new standard with the most immediate and robust MFP
Don’t wait in front of your printer with the fastest first page out, in just 29 seconds
Built with the most robust design for demanding environments
Based on comparable printers using LED technology and capable of printing 4-6 D/A1 pages per minute and which represent more than 70% of the share of low-volume LED printers in the US and Europe according to IDC as of November, 2018.
Fastest first page out based on internal HP testing. The test suite is composed of four test files: ANSI D, representative of CAD-architectural applications of the addressed large-format printing markets. They show effective printing coverages of 88%, 62%, 79%, and 79% respectively. These coverages are significantly larger than the ones of the pages in the test file proposed in the ISO/IEC 24735 standard (ref. 3), which average 54%. They are printed on a 914-mm plain paper roll, in landscape orientation and fast-economode printing quality. Following market standards for the measurement, 29 seconds are achieved by submitting a job reprint from the printing queue (with no maintenance operations pending and setting "When to start Printing" = Immediately).

Get the lowest running costs
Operational costs based on low-volume LED technology under $17,000 USD in the market as of November, 2018.
Operational costs consist of supplies and service costs.
Best fit for your office with up to 30% smaller footprint
Based on comparable printers using LED technology and capable of printing 4-6 D/A1 pages per minute and which represent more than 40% of the share of low-volume LED printers in the US and Europe according to IDC as of November, 2018.
Measure done considering operational footprint (with the media drawer open).
The most quiet operation
Based on comparable printers using LED technology and capable of printing 4-6 D/A1 pages per minute and which represent more than 70% of the share of low-volume LED printers in the US and Europe according to IDC as of November, 2018.
Most quiet operation according to internal HP testing of operation mode and ready/sound mode sound pressure (plain paper, line drawing, normal mode) compared to published specifications of competitive printers and following ISO 7779.
Use up to 10 times less energy
Based on comparable printers using LED technology and capable of printing 4-6 D/A1 pages per minute and which represent more than 70% of the share of low-volume LED printers in the US and Europe according to IDC as of November, 2018.
Conclusions based on internal HP testing for a use scenario printing a 100% print-coverage plot on a 914-mm plain paper roll, while an original plot is scanned, resulting of an average of 120W. This measure is used to obtain the safety CB Report Certificate under IEC 60950-1.
