This information helps HP design future printers to meet our customers' printing needs. The data collected from
the cartridge memory chip does not contain information that can be used to identify a customer or user of the
cartridge or their printer.
HP collects a sampling of the memory chips from cartridges returned to HP's free return and recycling program
(HP Planet Partners:
www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/recycle/). The memory chips from this
sampling are read and studied in order to improve future HP printers. HP partners who assist in recycling this
cartridge might have access to this data, as well.
Any third party possessing the cartridge might have access to the anonymous information on the memory chip. If
you prefer to not allow access to this information, you can render the chip inoperable. However, after you render
the memory chip inoperable, the cartridge cannot be used in an HP printer.
If you are concerned about providing this anonymous information, you can make this information inaccessible by
turning off the memory chip's ability to collect the printer's usage information.
To disable the usage information function
1. On the printer control panel, touch
(Right arrow), and then touch Setup.
2. Select Preferences, and then touch Cartridge Chip Information.
3. Touch OK to disable usage information collection.
NOTE: 1 To re-enable the usage information function, restore the factory defaults. For more information
about how to restore the defaults, see
Restore factory defaults.
NOTE: 2 You can continue to use the cartridge in the HP printer if you turn off the memory chip's ability to
collect the printer's usage information.
