Print-cartridge information
The print cartridge is designed to simplify replacement of the major consumable parts. The print cartridge
contains the printing mechanism and a supply of toner.
The standard print-cartridge life is 2,000 pages, in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752.
NOTE Actual print cartridge life depends on specific usage.
Refilled print cartridges
While Hewlett-Packard does not prohibit the use of refilled print cartridges during the warranty period
or while the product is under a maintenance contract, use of refilled cartridges is not recommended for
the following reasons:
■ Repairs resulting from the use of refilled cartridges are not covered under Hewlett-Packard warranty
or maintenance contracts.
■ Hewlett-Packard has no control or process to ensure that a refilled cartridge functions at the high
level of reliability of a new HP LaserJet print cartridge. Hewlett-Packard also cannot predict the long-
term reliability effect on the product from using the different toner formulations that are found in
refilled cartridges.
■ The print quality of HP LaserJet print cartridges influences the customer’s perception of the product.
Hewlett-Packard has no control over the actual print quality of a refilled cartridge.
■ Parts that are critical to print quality might not be replaced when the cartridge is refilled with toner.
Recycling print 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 print cartridge box. See
www.hp.com/recycle for more information.
