### **Understanding the Product Number**

Before diving into locations, it’s important to know what a product number is and how it differs from other identifiers on your printer.

#### **1. What Is a Product Number?**

* A **Product Number** (sometimes labeled as **Product ID** or **PN**) is a unique identifier assigned by HP to identify a specific printer configuration within a model series.
* It typically looks like **CZ992A**, **J7V80A**, or **3UK72A#B1H**.
* This number helps HP determine the exact printer version, feature set, region, and even internal components.

#### **2. How It Differs from Other Numbers**

* **Model Number**: Indicates the general model of the printer series, such as HP DeskJet 2700, HP LaserJet Pro M404.
* **Serial Number**: A unique string assigned to each individual unit. It can be used to track warranty and service history.
* **Product Number**: More specific than the model number, and groups similar configurations within a model.

### **Why You Might Need the Product Number**

* **Warranty support and replacement**
* **Driver and software downloads**
* **Ordering replacement parts**
* **Firmware updates**
* **Remote assistance via HP support**

Whenever you contact HP support at **[phone]**, the representative will likely ask for your product number to provide precise assistance.

### **Where to Find the Product Number on an HP Printer**

HP manufactures a wide variety of printers including inkjet, laser, multifunction (MFP), wide-format, and industrial models. The location of the product number can vary depending on the printer type and series.

#### **1. Check the Printer Label or Sticker**

The easiest way to find your HP printer's product number is to **look for a printed label** attached to the printer. This is often located in one of the following places:

##### **A. Back of the Printer**

* This is the most common location.
* You’ll often find a white or silver sticker.
* It will include the serial number, model number, product number, regulatory information, and manufacturing date.

##### **B. Bottom of the Printer**

* For smaller desktop printers (e.g., HP DeskJet or ENVY), check the underside.
* Carefully lift the printer or tilt it to view the bottom label.
* Be cautious not to spill ink or toner.

##### **C. Inside the Cartridge Access Area**

* On many inkjet and LaserJet models, especially HP OfficeJet and ENVY series, you can find a sticker **inside the flap** that opens to access cartridges or toner.
* Open the printer’s front cover and look near the cartridge carriage or toner compartment.

##### **D. Under the Scanner Lid (MFPs Only)**

* If your HP printer has a scanner, open the scanner lid (flatbed glass).
* Sometimes the sticker is affixed to the plastic inside the lid or just next to the glass.

##### **E. Inside the Rear Access Door or Paper Tray**

* In some printers, especially older models, the product label might be inside the rear access panel or hidden within the paper input/output tray.

##### **F. On the Printer’s Control Panel or Display (Digital)**

* On newer HP printers, you can navigate through the printer’s control panel to access system information.
* Navigate to:
`Settings` > `Printer Information` or `About Printer`
The product number might be listed on the display.

### **Examples of Product Number Formats**

Here are a few product number examples to help you recognize the format:

| **Printer Model** | **Example Product Number** |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| HP DeskJet 2755e | 26K67A |
| HP ENVY 6455e | 223R1A |
| HP LaserJet Pro M404dw | W1A56A |
| HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e | 1G5L3A |
| HP Smart Tank Plus 651 | Y0F71A |
| HP Color LaserJet Enterprise | 7PS84A |

If you see a code like the above on a sticker or in the printer menu, you’ve found the product number.

### **Tips for Identifying the Product Number**

1. **Look for the "Product Number" Label**: It may be abbreviated as “P/N”.
2. **Don’t Confuse with Serial Number**: Serial numbers are often longer and alphanumeric (e.g., CN1234ABCD).
3. **Use a Flashlight**: If the sticker is in a dark or hidden spot, using a flashlight helps.
4. **Take a Photo**: If the sticker is hard to access, taking a photo with your phone is a smart idea.

### **Finding the Product Number Using Software**

If the label is damaged or unreadable, or if you can’t access your printer physically, there are software-based methods to find your HP printer's product number.

#### **1. Use HP Smart App**

* Download and install the **HP Smart App** from the Microsoft Store, Apple App Store, or Google Play Store.
* Add your printer to the app.
* Navigate to the printer’s “Settings” or “Information” page.
* Product number will typically be listed there.

#### **2. Use HP Print and Scan Doctor (Windows Only)**

* Download from the HP support website.
* Run the tool, which detects connected HP printers.
* Under “Printer Details,” it will display the product number along with model and serial numbers.

#### **3. HP Printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)**

If your printer is connected to a network:

* Type the printer's IP address into a web browser (e.g., 192.168.1.100).
* Log in (if required).
* Navigate to the “Information” or “System” tab.
* Product number is usually listed.

### **What If You Still Can’t Find the Product Number?**
