Ready for the future
Work with the future in mind. HP FutureSmart Firmware lets you upgrade your printers and
MFPs on your schedule, whenever solutions advance. This provides investment protection
because you can update to new features, such as workflow and security enhancements,
without having to purchase new hardware. HP FutureSmart also can help reduce the time and
cost to train new users. A consistent user interface and menu design across all HP FutureSmart
devices—including the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M680 series—make the user
experience intuitive and familiar. To learn more about HP FutureSmart Firmware, visit

Expand your options
Be ready for the new—now. This MFP is designed to be compatible with emerging solutions, so
you can upgrade and increase capabilities as needed. HP’s cost-effective solution for hardware
upgrades—the Hardware Integration Pocket—allows you to integrate security solutions, such
as card and badge readers. And HP’s Open Extensibility Platform (OXP) creates a unified
environment for software solutions that run on your HP Enterprise devices—providing sound
investment protection, consistency for end users, and easier management. These
HP innovations can help your MFP remain state-of-the-art long into the future.
Simplicity all around
Make it easy for all to print with one common driver. The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)

enables both mobile Microsoft device users and traditional desktop users to access the full
features of nearly every HP device in your managed printing environment without the need for
assistance.
Eliminate the clutter on your computer by replacing multiple print drivers with one versatile
solution. Empower IT by dramatically reducing the number of drivers they have to manage—
and by giving them the tools they need to improve efficiency. With the HP UPD, your IT team
can easily adjust device settings to help reduce printing costs, improve security, and help meet
environmental goals. For example, it’s simple to push two-sided printing or quicker sleep times
across the fleet. Plus, the valuable tools in the HP UPD Printer Administrator’s Resource Kit
help you save time and money by streamlining IT tasks, implementing printing policies, and
monitoring usage across the enterprise. You can also use the HP UPD in tandem with HP Web
Jetadmin to create fleet-wide managed printer lists, reports, and more.
