proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.

The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and then customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically enables features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing and stapling, so you do not need to enable them manually.

Service name Description

IPsec/Firewall Provides network-layer security on IPv4 and IPv6 networks. A firewall provides

simple control of IP traffic. IPsec provides additional protection through authentication and encryption protocols.

Kerberos Allows you to exchange private information across an open network by assigning a

unique key, called a ticket, to each user who logs on to the network. The ticket is then embedded in messages to identify the sender.

SNMP v3 Employs a user-based security model for SNMP v3, which provides user

authentication and data privacy through encryption.

SSL/TLS Allows you to transmit private documents via the Internet and guarantee privacy

and data integrity between the client and server applications.

IPsec batch configuration Provides network-layer security through the simple control of IP traffic to and from

the product. This protocol provides the benefits of encryption and authentication and allows for multiple configurations.

Understand paper use

This product supports a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this user guide. Paper or print media that does not meet these guidelines might cause poor print quality, increased jams, and premature wear on the product.

For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laser printers or multiuse. Do not use paper or print media made for inkjet printers. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of other brands of media because HP cannot control their quality.

Store paper in the original package to prevent exposing the paper to moisture and other damage. Do not open the package until you are ready to use the paper.

It is possible for paper to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce satisfactory results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and/or humidity levels, or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.

CAUTION: Using paper or print media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard's specifications might

cause problems for the product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.

Special paper guidelines

This product supports printing on special media. Use the following guidelines to obtain satisfactory results. When using special paper or print media, be sure to set the type and size in the printer driver to obtain the best results.

CAUTION: HP LaserJet products use fusers to bond dry toner particles to the paper in very precise

dots. HP laser paper is designed to withstand this extreme heat. Using inkjet paper could damage the product.
