HP Introduces Its Best Printer for Today’s Distributed Workforce
September 16 2020 - 08:10AM
Today at HP Reinvent, HP Inc.’s annual global partner event, the
company introduced the HP LaserJet Enterprise 400 Series,
delivering an enterprise and managed-class experience in a small
footprint for remote working and new office configurations.
Ready or not, businesses have made a swift transition to a much
more distributed workforce – transforming a few offices into
thousands of home offices. As a result, they need intuitive,
nimble, and connected devices that can be managed remotely and
securely, supporting how and where people need to work.
“The COVID 19 pandemic has created hybrid workforces, with 72%
of office workers saying they’d like to work away from the office
for at least two days a week even once COVID-19 is no longer a
concern2,” said Xavier Garcia, Global Head and General Manager,
Print Hardware Solutions, HP Inc. “We believe this new small and
mighty printer has met its moment: offering everything one would
expect in an enterprise-class printer that fits where and how
people work now and, in the future, – whether remote or in the
office.”
Security has also become a top concern for IT managers and home
workers alike. According to HP’s new Workforce Evolution study 3,
security software was ranked by office workers in the US and Europe
as the highest priority for upgrading the home office, further
underscoring the demand for secure work solutions.
HP’s smallest enterprise multi-function printer, the new
LaserJet series provides:
- The world’s most secure printers1 for
businesses of any size, no matter where you work
- HP incorporates security into every step of the printer design,
supply chain, and production process.
- HP Sure Start with automatic self-healing that protects,
detects, and self-recovers from vulnerabilities and attacks.
- HP Trusted Platform Module (TPM), providing secure device
identity with certificate private keys, strengthening protection of
encrypted credentials and data.
- Security features goes beyond just the hardware, including the
cartridge, for an end-to-end secure printing system that protects
your network and information.
- Seamless remote fleet management frees up IT resources
for strategic priorities
- Ability to easily manage devices and settings remotely with HP
Web Jetadmin and HP JetAdvantage Security Manager.
- Easily deploy and integrate HP and third‑party solutions with
the HP Open Extensibility Platform. Support card readers and allow
users to use personalized settings to print from their own
queue.
In addition to the new devices, HP today also announced a new
version of HP FutureSmart firmware – enabling a consistent, secure
operational system across HP’s entire enterprise printer series.
Launching with the LaserJet Enterprise 400 series, FutureSmart 5
provides customers investment protection, additional security
protections, and readiness for advanced cloud-based workflows.
“Typical printer attacks can exploit older versions of firmware
and allow the device to be taken over and halted operationally,”
said Mark Vena, Senior Analyst, Moor Insights & Strategy. “HP
is combatting the risk to printer security with a layered
defense-in-depth approach to secure the print device along with the
associated supplies.”
