HP PCs, Printers - Finding the Serial Number

Every HP computer has a serial number on the surface of the computer. You can also use your operating system (Windows or Chrome) to find the number.

note:

To learn how to find the product name or number, go to HP Notebook PCs - How Do I Find My Product Name or Number.

Every HP printer has a serial number applied to the surface of the printer. If you have connected the printer to a computer, you can also use HP software to retrieve the number.

Find the serial number of your HP monitor with the on-screen menu display, or on the outside of the monitor.

• If your monitor is working, use the menu buttons on the monitor to open the on-screen menu, and then select Information. The serial number displays from the information window.
• If your monitor is not working or the on-screen menu does not display the serial number, look on the back of the monitor, the underside of the pedestal, or under a cosmetic cover for a label with a Serial Number, Serial No, S/N, or SN.

For almost all HP products, the serial number can be found from one of the following locations.

• A label applied to the product (usually on the underside)
• Laser etching on the surface of the product
• Inside the battery compartment
• A purchase invoice or receipt
• Product packaging or shipping box
• Documentation that came with the product

Use a magnifying glass to find and read the serial number. For small items, such as accessories, the number might not be available from the product exterior and is only available from original product packaging, documentation that came with the product, or the invoice or proof of purchase material.

Supplies and consumables, such as ink or toner cartridges, do not have serial numbers.
