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 2,500 pages. However, a toner cartridge should print
more pages if it regularly prints pages with less coverage, such as
short memos. The cartridge might print fewer pages if heavy or bold
print is used.
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
In order to reduce waste, Hewlett-Packard offers a recycling program.
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 (within the United States).
To join this recycling effort, follow the instructions inside the toner
cartridge box.
