Specifications

Specifications
[1] Dimensions vary as per configuration

[2] Power requirements are based on the country/region where the printer is sold. Do not convert operating voltages. This will damage the printer and void the product warranty.

[3] Speed specifications have been updated to reflect current industry testing methods.

[4] Average based on ISO/IEC 24711 or HP testing methodology and continuous printing. Actual yield varies considerably based on content of printed pages and other factors. For details see http://hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies

[5] Either after first page or after first set of ISO test pages. For details see http://www.hp.com/go/printerclaims

[6] Local printing requires mobile device and printer to be on the same network or have a direct wireless connection to the printer. Wireless performance is dependent on physical environment and distance from access point. Wireless operations are compatible with 2.4 GHz operations only. Remote printing requires an Internet connection to an HP web-connected printer. App or software and HP app account registration may also be required. Wireless broadband use requires separately purchased service contract for mobile devices. Check with service provider for coverage and availability in your area.
