The printer can generate email notifications, the email server is configured via the Embedded Web Server.

HP are very much pushing Web connection - it allows them to offer value added "cloud" services.

You can enable Web Services when setting up the printer.

Security Features:

From the Embedded Web Server, you can select the Security tab to control access to the printer in various ways:

  • USB drive: Enable or disable the use of a USB flash drive.
  • Firmware update from USB: Enable or disable firmware updates from a USB flash drive
  • Internet connection: Enable or disable the Internet connection.
  • Enable HP ePrint Center connectivity: Enable or disable the use of HP Designjet ePrint & Share with a computer connected directly to the printer
  • User sessions: Enable or disable automatic log-out after 1, 3, or 5 minutes
  • Printer access control: Enable, disable, or change the administrator password.

Note: HP say : "When you have set up Web Services, the printer is in unlock mode. In unlock mode, anyone who knows your printer's email address can print to your printer by just sending a file to it. Although HP provides a spam filtering service, you should be careful about giving out your printer's email address, as everything sent to that address may be printed on your printer."

Duty Cycle:

We haven't come across any specific recommendations from HP on usage expectations. Obviously a printer with 130ml cartridges will be the more economical to run compared with the smaller machines in HP's Designjet lineup. We would say this printer is intended for general engineering and professional use in larger workgroups

Line drawings: 21 sec/page on A1/D,120 A1/D prints per hour

Options are: Best, Normal and Fast.

If you select Fast, you can also select Economode, which uses a lower rendering resolution and consumes less ink. It therefore increases printing speed even further, but reduces print quality.
