Toner Cartridge
Extending Toner Cartridge Life
The life of your toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner your
print jobs require. When you print word-processed text, average toner
cartridge yield is 15,000 pages printed at 5% coverage. (A typical
full-page business letter is about 5% coverage.) This assumes that the
print density setting is in the middle range. Using EconoMode can
further extend average toner cartridge yield. (See Chapter 6, “Print
Quality.”)
EconoMode extends toner usage beyond the specified 15,000 images.
However, extended use of the toner cartridge assembly may result in
wear of moving parts within the cartridge; this may produce unusual
noises. Because of this HP cautions you not to use EconoMode full time.
Storing and Installing the Toner Cartridge
Do not remove the toner cartridge from its packaging until you are ready
to use it. The shelf life of an unopened cartridge package is
approximately 2 1/2 years; the shelf life of an opened cartridge package
is approximately six months. Use the cartridge before the expiration date
(the expiration date is stamped on your toner cartridge box).
To install a new toner cartridge, follow the instructions in the
Installation Instruction Guide included in your toner cartridge box. A
separate Recycling Instruction Guide is also included.
WARNING Avoid touching the adjacent fusing area. It may be HOT.
HP Policy on Use of Non-HP Toner Cartridges
Hewlett-Packard does not recommend use of non-HP toner cartridges,
either new or remanufactured. HP cannot influence or control the quality
of these cartridges because they are not HP products.
