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 5% page coverage, a Toner Cartridge will print approximately 10,000 pages.
However, a Toner Cartridge should print more pages if regularly printing pages with
less coverage, such as short memos. The cartridge may print fewer pages if heavy or
bold print is used.
Note
For best results, always use a Toner Cartridge before the expiration date stamped on
the Toner Cartridge’s 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 what the long term reliability effect
on the printer is 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
In order to reduce waste, Hewlett-Packard offers a recycling program, called HP
Planet Partners, for used Toner Cartridges. Cartridge components that do not wear
out are recycled. Plastics and other materials are recycled. HP pays the shipping
costs from the user to the recycling plant. To join this recycling effort, follow the
instructions inside the Toner Cartridge’s box.
