Secure fleet management of imaging and printing environments

HP DesignJet 4020

HP’s new high-performance workgroup printer with advanced security features, new management solutions and extensibility platform capabilities enable businesses to reliably, efficiently and cost-effectively maintain an optimized imaging and printing environment.

The offerings include:

• Saving up to 50% on energy consumption, with HP Instant-on Technologythe HP LaserJet Enterprise P3010 Printer seriesis a high-performance networked printer for businesses needing to print high volumes with added protection for confidential documents on a variety of media types. The printer features advanced security features, including IPsec and hardware security features such as PIN authentication and a hardware integration pocket which allows users to connect and house security card swipe and authentication devices. As part of the HP Eco Solutions program, the new laser printer is ENERGY STAR qualified and uses significantly less energy than competitive laser printersbased on several key environmental attributes listed on the HP Eco Highlights label.

• HP Open Extensibility Platform (OXP)and solution developer kits (SDKs) dramatically simplify the development and deployment of custom imaging and print solutions across HP’s fleet of multifunction products. An industry first, the HP Solution Installer reduces the time and cost of deploying embedded solutions on a fleet of imaging and printing devices – in some cases from days to hours. In addition, OXP adds new management interfaces (OXP-Management) such that IT managers, system integrators and software solution providers can use web services to interact with HP Web Jetadmin to retrieve device information and status alerts.

• HP Web Jetadmin 10.2helps administrators optimize device utilization, control color costs, set default PIN authentication, secure devices and streamline supplies management for HP and non-HP network peripherals. New features of HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 include enhanced remote management capabilities, improved device discovery and configuration and advanced supplies management that reduces maintenance time and overall device deployment costs. In addition, users can remotely schedule sleep and wake-up modes to conserve power and reduce energy consumption. This year, the earlier HP Web Jetadmin 10 had received the Outstanding Network Device Management Solution award from Buyers Laboratory Inc.

• HP Universal Print Driver 5.0, feature-rich driver that now includes HP EasyColor, which optimizes color printing and improves print performance for image-intensive documents. In addition, users can set printing devices to automatic two-sided printing to reduce paper waste. Features in HP Web Jetadmin and Universal Print Driver software can set an organization’s printers to duplex in a few simple keystrokes,saving up to 25% in paper costs.

Optimize imaging and printing infrastructure with new large-format printing choices

HP DesignJet T1120

HP introduced an expanded large-format printer portfolio that includes a range of new workgroup and multifunction printers and software solutions to improve connectivity, security and fleet management for office users, IT managers and production operators.

New devices include the HP Designjet T1120 SD-MFP, HP Designjet T1120 HD-MFP, HP Designjet 4520 HD-MFP and 4520 Scanner, HP Designjet T1120 Printer series and HP Designjet 4020 / 4520 Printer series. These offerings can save enterprises up to 15 to 30% off total large-format printing costs and provide up to 10 times faster response from click-to-print and improved overall print quality with crisper lines and smoother renders.

For the first time, the HP Web Jetadmin seamlessly integrates the expanded HP Designjet portfolio within existing networks and allows large-format printing devices to be remotely managed as part of a diverse printing fleet. The new large-format printers, MFPs and software are integrated into the HP Managed Print Services (MPS) offerings, enabling customers to reduce printing infrastructure costs, increase uptime and achieve predictable, consistent service delivery across multiple locations.
