Description
HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M480f Multifunction Colour Laser Printer 3QA55A
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.
Easy to use, simple to manage
HP FutureSmart firmware can be updated with the latest features1 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.
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.
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.
The world’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.
