Toner cartridge information
The toner cartridge is designed to simplify replacement of the major “consumable” parts. The toner
cartridge contains the printing mechanism and a supply of toner.
At five percent page coverage, a toner cartridge will print approximately 6,000 or 10,000 pages,
depending on the toner cartridge model installed. A toner cartridge might print fewer pages if
routinely printing with dense ink coverage, or more pages when routinely printing pages with less ink
coverage, such as short memos. If EconoMode or small media is always used, however, the toner
supply could outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge.
Note For best results, always use a toner cartridge before the expiration date stamped on the toner cartridge
box.
Refilled toner cartridges
While Hewlett-Packard does not prohibit the use of refilled toner cartridges during the warranty
period or while the printer is under a maintenance contract, it is not recommended for the following
reasons:
!
Repairs resulting from the use of refilled toner cartridges are not covered under Hewlett-Packard
warranty or maintenance contracts.
!
Hewlett-Packard has no control or process to ensure that a refilled toner cartridge functions at
the high level of reliability of a new HP LaserJet toner cartridge. Hewlett-Packard also cannot
predict the long-term reliability effect on the printer from using different toner formulations found
in refilled cartridges.
!
The print quality of HP LaserJet toner cartridges influences the customer’s perception of the
printer. Hewlett-Packard has no control over the actual print quality of a refilled toner cartridge.
Recycling toner cartridges
To reduce waste, Hewlett-Packard offers a recycling program for used toner cartridges. Cartridge
components that do not wear out are recycled. Plastics and other materials are recycled.
Hewlett-Packard pays the shipping costs from the user to the recycling plant. For each cartridge
returned, Hewlett-Packard donates one U.S. dollar to be shared by the Nature Conservancy and the
National Wildlife Federation. To join this recycling effort, follow the instructions inside the toner
cartridge box.
