Differentiator (features) Small and mighty: HP’s smallest Enterprise MFP
Why to buy Work happens in more places—and more ways—than ever. Make the most of tight workspaces with HP’s smallest Enterprise MFP. It’s all the strongest security[1] and manageability IT pros look for, in a compact size that fits where—and how—people work.
Headline HP printers have the industry’s strongest security[1] 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.
Key selling point Optimize workflows, reduce steps and errors, and support mobile workers with optional MFP apps that meet your specific business needs.
