Foreign Interface Harness (FIH)

The Foreign Interface Harness (FIH) provides a portal on the MFP. By using the FIH and third-party equipment, you can track information about copies that are made on the MFP.

Requirements

Windows 9X, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP

Access to third-party accounting hardware solutions, such as Equitrac or Copitrak devices

Use the FIH

To use the FIH, you must download and install the FIH software. The software is available from www.hp.com/go/ljm9040mfp_software or www.hp.com/go/ljm9050mfp_software. The software is used to enable or disable the FIH portal. Use the software to set and change the administrator personal identification number (PIN).

Administrators can use the PIN option to configure the FIH to prevent any unauthorized changes. Changes can be made only with the correct PIN authentication.

NOTE: It is important to remember the PIN that is assigned to the FIH administration software. The PIN is required to make any changes to the FIH.
