Managing supplies
Using, storing, and monitoring print cartridges can help ensure quality printer output.
Supplies life
The life of the print cartridge depends on usage patterns and the amount of toner that print jobs
require. For example, when printing text at five percent coverage, an HP print cartridge lasts an
average of 4,000 or 6,000 pages, depending on the printer model. (A typical business letter is
about five percent coverage.)
Cartridge life expectancy is reduced by frequently printing many one- or two-page jobs, heavy
coverage, and automatic duplexing. At any time, you can verify the life expectancy by checking the
print cartridge life. For more information on how to check the life of the print cartridge, see the user
guide.
