Toner-cartridge information
This printer indicates when the toner cartridge level is low and very low. The actual toner cartridge life remaining
can vary. Consider having a replacement cartridge available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.
Continue printing with the current cartridge until redistributing the toner no longer yields acceptable print
quality. To redistribute the toner, remove the toner cartridge from the printer and gently rock the cartridge back
and forth about its horizontal axis. For graphical representation, see cartridge replacement instructions. Reinsert
the toner cartridge into the printer and close the cover.
To purchase cartridges or check cartridge compatibility for the printer, go to HP SureSupply at www.hp.com/go/
suresupply. Scroll to the bottom of the page and verify that the country/region is correct.
