Changing print cartridges
When a print cartridge approaches the end of its useful life, the control panel displays a message
recommending that you order a replacement. The printer can continue to print using the current print
cartridge until the control panel displays a message instructing you to replace the cartridge.
The printer uses four colors and has a different print cartridge for each color: black (K), magenta (M),
cyan (C), and yellow (Y).
Replace a print cartridge when the printer control panel displays a REPLACE [COLOR] CARTRIDGE
message. The control panel display will also indicate the color that should be replaced (if a genuine HP
cartridge is currently installed).
Replacing a print cartridge
CAUTION If toner gets on clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash the clothes in cold
water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
NOTE For information about recycling used print cartridges, see Return and recycling
instructions, or visit the HP LaserJet Supplies Web site at http://www.hp.com/go/recycle.
To replace the print cartridge
1. Lift the top cover of the printer.
CAUTION The fuser might be hot.
