HP LAUNCHES ANTI-COUNTERFEIT SUPPLIES SOFTWARE (SPYWARE)
HP Introduces New Technology to Identify Counterfeit Printing Supplies
Hewlett Packard (HP), known mostly for manufacturing computers and accessories, launched this week Toner Cartridge Authentication (TCA) program to help customers confirm the purchase of original HP toner cartridges.According to the company’s statement sent to newbusinessethiopia.com, the new technology works on select HP LaserJet printers such as: HP Color LaserJet Pro CP5225 Series, HP LaserJet Pro M1530 MFP Series, HP LaserJet Pro P1100 Series, HP LaserJet Pro P1560 Series, HP LaserJet Pro P1600 Series.The HP – TCA is free software that validates whether the installed cartridge is an original HP LaserJet toner cartridge or an alternative supply, such as a remanufactured, refilled, cloned or counterfeit cartridge.When the cartridge is not a genuine HP cartridge, the new technology will present users with additional information to address potential counterfeiting. If a user receives a notification when they believe they have purchased an Original HP cartridge they will be directed to HP’s Anti-counterfeit website to report the potential counterfeit cartridge.The statement also noted that over the last four years, HP has assisted in the seizure of nearly nine million pieces of fake printing supplies products and components in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.“Globally HP has conducted nearly 5,000 investigations in almost 90 countries over the last four years, resulting in the seizure of more than 30 million units of counterfeit cartridges and components over this same time period.”The new product is available to customers all over Africa who can download the HP Toner Cartridge Authentication Software and apply it on any HP LaserJet printer that supports the digital authentication.
