HP smart print supplies

The HP Smart Print Supplies system is the latest technological innovation in printing supplies from HP and is activated every time an HP LaserJet smart print cartridge is installed in an HP LaserJet printer. With its own built-in smart chip, each smart print cartridge communicates and interacts with the printer and software to provide more accurate supplies monitoring, convenient supplies ordering, cartridge authentication and a number of significant print quality enhancements.

In terms of supplies monitoring, the real-time management of toner levels can substantially improve printer productivity. By accurately determining the level of toner available, the system can provide an estimate of the number of pages remaining in the print cartridge, enabling users to determine whether the job can be completed. This constant monitoring also provides data on cartridge use for job accounting and budgeting needs.

When a cartridge is nearing the end of its working life, the system can be used to send an email alert to notify designated individuals that supplies will need reordering. And now, with the development of Internet Enabled Supplies Ordering (IESO)*, the system can be configured to launch an ‘Order Supplies’ website, where the products needed will have been pre-selected.

HP Smart Print Supplies also ensures optimum output, reliability and ease of use. The toner-sealing strip is automatically removed when the cartridge is installed; a ‘shake-free’ cartridge design redistributes toner to ensure that none goes to waste; and dynamic electro-photographic adjustments constantly optimise the print process to ensure consistent print quality throughout the life of the print cartridge.
