Un bon manuel d’utilisation
Les règles imposent au revendeur l'obligation de fournir à l'acheteur, avec des marchandises, le manuel d’utilisation HP (Hewlett-Packard) 3840.

Enfin, le manuel contient les coordonnées du service HP (Hewlett-Packard) en l'absence de l'efficacité des solutions proposées.
