• The fastest possible recovery from hardware issues with Next Business Day Onsite Service and seamless remote assistance. When a fault is detected or reported, HP dispatches qualified technicians to your location the next business day, often arriving with the parts needed to resolve most problems on the first visit. This rapid response reduces downtime, keeps workflows moving, and protects productivity across your organization. The service leverages HP’s global service network, ensuring consistent support quality whether you’re in the office, on a campus, or across multiple sites.
• Defective Media Retention for enhanced data security and control. If storage media fails, you don’t have to surrender the drive or dispose of it through third-party channels you don’t trust. Defective Media Retention means you retain possession of the defective storage media, allowing you to manage sensitive data and perform secure data disposition according to your internal policies. This feature helps maintain regulatory compliance and reinforces your data governance standards while technical teams work to restore functionality on the device.
• Comprehensive hardware coverage with parts and labor included. The program isn’t just about response times; it covers the full spectrum of hardware issues for the MFP 680x system. Parts replacement is included as needed, and skilled technicians handle the installation, testing, and verification to ensure the device returns to full operation. By combining on-site expertise with precise workmanship, you get a reliable solution that minimizes repeat visits and accelerates the path to stable performance.
• Long-term protection with a three-year service duration. A three-year term delivers predictable budgeting and sustained peace of mind. You’ll continue to benefit from proactive support, rapid escalation if issues arise, and a consistent level of service quality over an extended period. This extended coverage is especially valuable for organizations that rely on consistent output from their MFP 680x devices, such as legal firms, financial services, healthcare, and education institutions where uptime directly affects client service and operational efficiency.
• Designed for HP MFP 680x devices with end-to-end support fidelity. The Care Pack is tailored to the HP MFP 680x line, aligning service capabilities with the specific hardware architecture and maintenance needs of these multifunction printers. By matching coverage to the device family, HP ensures that diagnostic tools, part replacement, and repair workflows are optimized for your machine, reducing repair time and improving first-time fix rates. This alignment also helps simplify renewal decisions and keeps maintenance aligned with your IT and print infrastructure strategy.

How to install HP Care Pack Hardware Support with Defective Media Retention

Activating this coverage is a straightforward process designed to minimize disruption and ensure rapid access to support when you need it. Begin by confirming eligibility and purchasing the Care Pack through HP or an authorized reseller. Once enrolled, register your MFP 680x device in the HP Support portal to link the warranty to your hardware asset. After registration, you’ll receive confirmation of service parameters, including on-site response windows, contact channels, and escalation steps. When a hardware issue occurs, follow these practical steps to ensure the fastest possible service delivery:

• Document the problem with clear symptoms, error messages, and any recent changes to the device or network environment. This information helps the HP technical team quickly isolate the fault and determine whether remote diagnostics can resolve the issue without an on-site visit.
• Contact HP Support through the designated channel (phone, portal, or partner portal) to initiate the Next Business Day Onsite request. Provide the device model (MFP 680x), location, and preferred time window for on-site service. If your organization requires a specific time slot, communicate this during scheduling to optimize technician arrival and workflow planning.
• Prepare the device and location for the technician’s visit. Clear access to power, network connectivity, and any related peripherals. If possible, isolate the device from non-essential workloads, and have available any spare parts or consumables that could influence repair speed or service quality.
• On the day of service, validate the problem with the HP technician and review the steps taken during remote diagnostics. The technician will perform on-site troubleshooting, replace defective components as needed, and test the device to ensure full operational capability, including print, scan, and copy functions.
• Post-service validation and reporting. After the repair, verify that all functions operate correctly and that end-user workflows are restored. Keep the service documentation for your records, including any remediated issues, replacement parts, and disposal notes for the defective media retained by you.
