Supplies
The customer replaces print cartridges, the fuser, and the transfer unit as they are depleted.
Chapter 4 explains when to replace supplies and provides instructions on replacing them.
Note The printer tracks the amount of use on the customer-replaceable supplies by keeping a page count.
Swapping supplies between printers might cause a misrepresentation of supply life values and is
not recommended.
1 If you replace either the fuser or the transfer unit when servicing the printer, and these supplies
have not yet reached the end of their estimated life, you must reset the page count for these
supplies through the CONFIGURE DEVICE menu on the control panel. See Fuser
replacement configuration and Transfer unit (ITB assembly) replacement configuration for
instructions on resetting the transfer unit and fuser counts.
1 - Approximate life is based on: 1,000 pages per month for the HP Color LaserJet 3500 series printer and 1500 pages
per month for the HP Color LaserJet 3700 series printer.
2 - Approximate average A4-/letter-size page count based on approximately 5 percent coverage of individual colors.
3 - Usage conditions and print patterns cause results to vary.
CAUTION Hewlett-Packard recommends the use of HP products in this printer. Use of non-HP products can
cause problems that require service not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service
agreements.
