Technology Explained Simply

The Thermal Inkjet technology generates ink droplets by locally heating the ink in the print head, resulting in precise and uniform ink delivery. The print resolution of 2400 x 1200 DPI ensures high detail accuracy, especially for fine lines and shading. The 512 MB memory capacity allows temporary storage of print jobs and supports processing of complex files. Energy efficiency is ensured by a power consumption of 35 W in standard operation and 0.2 W in standby mode and when powered off. The power supply operates with an input voltage of 100–240 V and a frequency of 50/60 Hz, enabling worldwide use.

Compatibility and Accessories

The printer is designed for use with HP 712 ink cartridges, which feature a new or reused HP chip. The dynamic security function blocks ink cartridges with chips not from HP. Firmware updates ensure the effectiveness of this measure. The use of reused, remanufactured, or refilled cartridges is possible with a reused HP chip. The print function supports Windows and Mac operating systems. The HP Click App and the HP App are required for mobile control and can be downloaded from the respective app stores.

Installation and Mounting

The printer is delivered with a print head, spindle, starter ink cartridges, power cable, quick start guide, installation poster, and the HP Click App for Windows and macOS as well as the HP Click Driver for Windows 11.
