  4. [1] Active Printing measured on worse case bundle/mode, printing A4 simplex at 50ppm.
  5. [1] HP’s most advanced embedded security features are available on HP Managed and Enterprise devices with HP FutureSmart firmware 4.5 or above. Claim based on HP review of published features as of June 2025 of competitive in-class printers. Only HP offers a combination of security features to automatically detect, isolate, stop, and recover from attacks with a self-healing reboot, in alignment with NIST SP 800-193 guidelines for device cyber resiliency. Printers are most vulnerable to attack when they are booting up and during runtime (when the printer is in sleep mode and in use). Only HP Enterprise printers protect the device during 100% of the printer's life with Sure Start BIOS protection, Memory Shield with hardware-based Runtime Intrusion Detection and Control Flow Integrity to detect and recover from zero-day threats in addition to Connection Inspector network behavioral anomaly detection all with self-healing recovery. For a list of compatible products, visit hp.com/go/PrintersThatProtect For more information, visit hp.com/go/PrinterSecurityClaims.
  6. [2] Measured using ISO/IEC 24734, excludes first set of test documents. For more information, see http://www.hp.com/go/printerclaims. Exact speed varies depending on the system configuration, software application, driver, and document complexity.
  7. [3] Some features enabled by future HP FutureSmart firmware upgrades may not be available on older devices, if for example, physical product characteristics limit the functionality of the new feature.
  8. [4]HP Security Manager must be purchased separately. For details, see hp.com/go/securitymanager.
  9. [6] Based on HP’s internal analysis of business Printers with preinstalled encryption, authentication, malware protection, post-quantum digital signature, and initial BIOS firmware integrity protection with automatic self-healing recovery finding that no other in-class Printers implement a quantum-resistant cryptographic scheme to protect the integrity of the BIOS and firmware as of March 2025.
  10. [7] Energy reduction in HP LaserJet Enterprise 5501-5502 and 5601-5602 with HP Original 159 TerraJet Toner Cartridges compared to predecessor HP LaserJet Enterprise M507 and M528 with HP Original 89 Toner Cartridges. Calculated in 2026 based on normalized Energy Star® Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC) data. See hp.com/TerraJet/energysaving for more information.

  17. [7] Device first page out time based on HP internal measurement of printer activation until page exit. Meaurement based on industry-standard ISO/IEC 17629 can be found at http://www.hp.com/go/printerclaims. Exact speed varies depending on the system configuration, software application, driver, and document complexity.
  18. [8] Duty cycle is defined as the maximum number of pages per month of imaged output. This value provides a comparison of product robustness in relation to other HP LaserJet or HP Color LaserJet devices, and enables appropriate deployment of printers and MFPs to satisfy the demands of connected individuals or groups.
  19. [9] HP recommends that the number of pages per month of imaged output be within the stated range for optimum device performance, based on factors including supplies replacement intervals and device life over an extended warranty period. The range shown is based on 60 months of output for the lower monthly value and 12 months of output for the higher monthly value.
  20. [11] Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC) rating represents the typical electricity consumed by a product during 1 week, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
  21. [12] Power requirements are based on the country/region where the printer is sold. Do not convert operating voltages. This will damage the printer and void the product warranty. ENERGY STAR value typically based on measurement of 115V device and 230V for Blue Angel.
