Secure your multi-function printer (MFP) investments with HP Care Pack Next Business Day Hardware Support. This extended service is designed to minimize downtime and maximize uptime, combining proactive remote assistance with reliable on-site support. Featuring Defective Media Retention, flexible service levels, and a generous three-year duration, it delivers predictable budgeting, rapid issue resolution, and peace of mind for IT leaders and operations teams alike. Whether you manage a single device or a fleet of MFPs, this HP Care Pack helps you keep critical printing, scanning, and copying workflows on track with swift response times and comprehensive coverage.

• Flexible service-level options to fit your IT needs: HP Care Pack offers a choice of predefined service levels that balance onsite response times, call-to-repair windows, and coverage periods. IT managers can tailor support to align with your device criticality, workplace hours, and maintenance windows. With multiple combinations, you can prioritize rapid troubleshooting, accelerated issue resolution, or extended coverage, all while keeping administration simple and predictable. This flexibility ensures you’re not paying for services you don’t need, while still having robust options when problems arise.
• Next Business Day on-site support for minimal downtime: When hardware issues occur, a qualified HP technician is scheduled to arrive by the next business day to assess, diagnose, and repair the problem onsite. This rapid turnaround reduces disruptive downtime, keeps your MFPs operating at peak performance, and minimizes the impact on end-user productivity. In addition to on-site service, remote assistance can accelerate diagnosis and troubleshooting, ensuring that the path from issue detection to resolution is as short as possible.
• Defective Media Retention (DMR) included: One of the distinctive benefits of this Care Pack is Defective Media Retention, which allows you to retain defective media such as drives that may be replaced during service. This feature supports compliance and data retention policies by giving you direct access to failed components for forensic analysis, archiving, or replacement in your own environment. DMR provides transparency and control, helping you meet regulatory and operational requirements while keeping essential parts on hand for audits or future diagnostics.
• Three-year duration for long-term reliability: The extended three-year term delivers sustained protection for your MFP investments. Rather than renewing yearly, you gain predictable budgeting, consistent service quality, and a stable maintenance plan that aligns with long hardware lifecycles. Over three years, you’ll benefit from scheduled maintenance coverage, timely parts and labor support, and the assurance that HP’s expertise is on your side as your devices age and workloads evolve.
• Electronic and physical service, parts and labor coverage: This Care Pack combines the best of remote diagnostics and on-site hardware repair. Electronic service components enable efficient remote troubleshooting, proactive monitoring, and fast escalation when needed, while physical service ensures actual hardware replacement and repair on-site. Parts and labor are included under the terms of the plan, helping you avoid unexpected costs and ensuring your MFPs stay in service with high reliability and performance.
