ATTENTION: HP JetDirect products perform some date-related processing. In a previous statement, HP indicated that HP JetDirect products do not perform date-related processing.
For the entire HP JetDirect solution to be Year 2000 compliant, the HP JetDirect product must work in a fully Year 2000 compliant environment. It is especially important for the network operating system (NOS) for the HP JetDirect product to be Year 2000 compliant. Please contact the NOS manufacturer directly to verify Year 2000 readiness.
The HP JetDirect product is Year 2000 compliant if the hardware, firmware and software are Year 2000 compliant.
Hardware - All HP JetDirect hardware is Year 2000 Compliant.
Firmware - All HP JetDirect firmware is Year 2000 Compliant.
Software - Most HP JetDirect software is Year 2000 Compliant. Some versions of HP JetDirect software may need to be upgraded by the customer to be Year 2000 compliant (see Table 1 for the list of Year 2000 compliant software).
