to the actual time, depending upon the time zone the printer is set to.
The device status of "Printer is low on toner/ink" displays in the Window's printer
spooler when a long-life consumable, such as an image drum or fuser, is in a low status.

customized applications.
Some media type strings are displayed incorrectly in Japanese language. The device may stop processing groups of mixed copy/print jobs when Serverless
Job Accounting/Local Quota is enabled.
If an export file is created with the Import/Export feature where the "Local quota
and job accounting settings" is checked and the "Local Quota" setting in the Embedded Web Server (EWS) is disabled (EWS > General > Quota Settings > Local Quota) then the "Local Quota" setting in the EWS will no longer be available in the EWS after the import.
A device administrator may be unable to access secured Embedded Web Server
features when a third-party Authorization proxy is registered.
Reduced print quality when printing using Quick View print quality setting.
A "Copier disabled. Check copy control device" message appears on control
panel when a FIH accessory is connected, but insufficient copy credits are available.

Security/Authentication:
Uses NTLM for authentication when SmartCard authentication is specified. Scan to folder is sending unsigned packets when the server sets the "Signing
Enabled" flag.
An intermittent 33.05.18 Security Alert may occur during a device power cycle. The HPAC app may launch prior to SIO Authentication and storing previous saved
credentials in the Cloud Vault.
LDAP with secure connection fails on server with Channel Binding enabled. Scan to DFS Folder may stop working, but may recover if enough time passes or
printer is rebooted.
In a network trace there will be no Tree Connect after successful Session Setup
packet when scanning to a DFS folder.
A corresponding Event Log entry is not created when a Syslog event message is
sent for a Potential Intrusion Detection event.
When scanning to a DFS share, a network trace shows "Bad network name"
response to Tree Connect packet.
Embedded JetDirect:
The device may become unresponsive in the morning or after long idle periods
which will require a power cycle.
