Abbreviated as FIH,
Foreign Interface Harness is a
port that enables Hewlett-Packard (HP) multifunction printers (
MFP)
to use third party
devices to extend the capabilities of the MFP. Using the FIH
with third-party equipment allows you to track information about copies produced
on an HP Digital Copy module. Additionally the FIH can also expand the MFP
capabilities by adding additional fonts, forms, barcode printing, and other
features. To use the FIH you first have to install the FIH software for
compatible MFPs.
