HP policy on non-HP print cartridges
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP print cartridges, either new,
refilled, or remanufactured. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence their
design or control their quality. Service or repair required as a result of using a non-HP print
cartridge will not be covered under the printer warranty.
Note
The warranty does not apply to defects resulting from software, interfacing, or parts not
supplied by HP.
To install a print cartridge
For information about how to install a print cartridge, see the start guide.
Storing print cartridges
Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it. Some HP
LaserJet print cartridge packages are stamped with an alphanumeric date code. This code
represents a 30-month period beyond the date of production in order to facilitate efficient
inventory management processes between HP and its resellers. It does not server as an
indication of toner life (shelf-life) or relate in any way to warranty terms and conditions.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light.
Print cartridge life expectancy
The life of the print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that your print jobs require.
When printing text at 5 percent coverage, the standard print cartridge (C7115A) lasts an
average of 2,500 pages. The extended life print cartridge (C7115X) lasts an average of 3,500
pages. This assumes that you set the print density to 3 and turn EconoMode off (these are the
default settings).
Recycling print cartridges
Since 1990, the HP Printing Supplies Returns and Recycling Program has collected millions
of used LaserJet print cartridges that otherwise may have been discarded in the world's
landfills. The HP LaserJet print cartridges and supplies are collected and bulk shipped to our
resource and recovery partners who disassemble the cartridge. After a thorough quality
inspection, selected parts are reclaimed for use in new cartridges. Remaining materials are
separated and converted into raw materials for use by other industries to make a variety of
useful products.
