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 HP FutureSmart firmware can be updated with the latest features[2] to optimize your investment for years to come.
