internet enabled supplies ordering
E-services are another exciting category of print technology enhancements 
from HP. Similar to the way HP has revolutionised network printer management, the 
new HP e-services will use the internet to create an infrastructure that gives HP customers
new ways of conducting business. Internet enabled supplies ordering is one of the first 
HP printing e-services to become available.
Internet enabled supplies ordering streamlines supplies management and delivers the
correct supply at exactly the right time. Due to the continuous interaction of computer-
monitored sensors and printer electronics, HP printers automatically predict when supplies
will be depleted. Then they send a message to designated users or administrators to have
the item replaced. The alerts direct users or administrators to the printer’s embedded 
web server page where they can order new supplies using an internet link. For parallel-
connected printers, prompts are sent through a printer driver. Detailed configuration steps
are covered in the Embedded Web Server User Guide.
The internet enabled supplies ordering feature will be available in Europe starting in autumn
2001 in selected countries. It will be rolled out across Western-Europe during 2001 and
2002. To find out more about the status of this feature in your country contact your local 
HP sales representative.
