Available in a wide array of color options, the new HP LaserJet Managed E800/E700printerscontain a range of features geared towards maximizing productivity.

Hybrid workers
The devices also boast intelligent Reverse and Retry technology that allows them to repair any feeding and jamming issues automatically, which means they work continuously at top speed. And there is some impressive auto-sensing technology that enables the printers to automatically detect if the document is two-sided.
The design of the new printers was informed by a recent survey conducted by HP which revealed more than half of workers say they miss their office printer more than perks like happy hour.
The conclusion drawn by HP: hybrid workers need printers that offer office-grade performance in a package suitable for the home office.
“As the hybrid work model continues to evolve, CIOs and IT departments have never been more challenged,” said Carles Farre, Global Head of Print Services and Solutions, at HP.

The same survey highlighted challenges from a security perspective brought about by the transition to remote and hybrid working. As such, HP has attempted to incorporate the latest security technologies into its latest fleet.
In fact, the company claims its new printers offer the “world’s most secure printing”, with the ability to protect against malicious attacks, heal themselves from malware infections, and scan their own firmware for any issues.
The LaserJet Managed E800 series is set to be released in North America from August 1, while the E700 is expected some time in September, with both set to arrive in other regions over the coming months.
