5 Service and Support

Availability

HP provides a variety of service and support options around the world. Availability of these programs will vary depending upon your location.

HP Express Exchange

1.The customer contacts the local HP Customer Support Center listed in the product documentation. A technician troubleshoots the situation and determines whether the printer has actually failed. If so, the technician refers the customer to the HP Service Center.

2.A representative from the service center requests product and customer information. In some regions, collateral may also be requested.

3.HP ships a refurbished replacement unit to arrive the next day. (Geographic distance might prevent next-day shipping.)

4.The customer sends the defective printer to Hewlett-Packard at HP's expense.

Customers with on-site support service provided by HP should work directly with the local Customer Support Center instead of following the steps outlined here.

Exchanged units carry the remainder of the original unit’s warranty or 90 days, whichever is greater. The faster turnaround from HP Express Exchange minimizes downtime over traditional service programs that require you to ship the failed unit to the manufacturer, and then wait for it to be repaired and returned. Because HP pays the shipping charges, you incur no hidden costs for the service.
