Supplies life
The life of a print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text
at approximately 5% coverage, a cyan, magenta, or yellow print cartridge for the HP Color LaserJet
2605 series printers lasts an average of 2,000 pages, and a black print cartridge lasts an average of
2,500 pages. A typical business letter has 5% coverage.
Checking and ordering supplies
You can check the supplies status by using the printer control panel, printing a Supplies Status page,
or viewing the HP ToolboxFX, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you place an order for a
replacement print cartridge when you first receive the Low message for a print cartridge. For typical
use, the Order message indicates that approximately two weeks of life remains. When you use a
new, authentic HP print cartridge, you can obtain the following types of supplies information:
●
Amount of cartridge remaining
●
Estimated number of pages remaining
● Number of pages printed
● Other supplies information
NOTE If the printer is connected to the network, you can set the HP ToolboxFX to notify you
by e-mail when a print cartridge is low or is near the end of its useful life. If the printer is
directly connected to a computer, you can set HP ToolboxFX to notify you when supplies are
low.
To check status and order using the control panel
Do one of the following:
● Check the supplies status gauges on the printer control panel. These gauges indicate when a
print cartridge is low or empty. The lights also indicate when a non-HP print cartridge is first
installed.
● To print the Supplies Status page from the printer, on the printer control panel, select Reports
Menu, and then Supplies Status. See
Supplies Status page for more information.
If the supplies levels are low, you can order supplies through your local HP dealer, by telephone, or
online. See
Accessories and ordering information for part numbers. See http://www.hp.com/go/
ljsupplies to order online.
