Authentication
The genuine HP authentication feature allows a customer to specify that only genuine HP supplies can be
used in a printer. If a non-HP or used supply is installed, the printer will not print. This feature is disabled by
default, and can be enabled or disabled from the control panel or the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
If a genuine HP toner cartridge from another printer is moved to a printer with this feature enabled, the toner
cartridge will authenticate and print, unless the toner cartridge has passed the low state. If the toner
cartridge has passed the low state, an Unauthorized Cartridge message displays on the control panel.
If a non-HP toner cartridge is used in a printer with this feature enabled, the message Unauthorized
Cartridge
appears on the control-panel display.
NOTE: If a customer suspects they have a counterfeit cartridge, they should report it by going to
www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit and selecting Report now.
Anti-theft
The toner cartridge anti-theft feature allows a customer to congure the printer to automatically lock
genuine HP toner cartridges to a specic printer or eet of printers when they are installed. A locked toner
cartridge will only work in the specied printer or eet of printers. This feature prevents toner cartridges from
being stolen and used in another printer, or from being moved from an authorized printer to an unauthorized
printer. This feature is disabled by default, and can be enabled or disabled from the control panel, the
Embedded Web Server (EWS), or Web Jetadmin.
When the anti-theft feature is enabled, the toner cartridge in a printer will only work in the specied printer or
eet of printers. If a locked toner cartridge is moved to another printer, the cartridge will not print and the
message Protected Cartridge appears on the control-panel display.
NOTE: When a toner cartridge is locked to a specic printer or eet of printers, it cannot be unlocked. This is
a permanent operation.
