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.
At five percent page coverage, a standard print cartridge will print
approximately 2,500 pages. However, a 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 print cartridge before the expiration
date stamped on the cartridge box.
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, it 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 toner cartridge. Hewlett-Packard also cannot predict
the long-term reliability effect on the product from using different
toner formulations 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 may 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
