Print cartridge storage
Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a
few minutes.
Print cartridge life expectancy
The life of the print cartridge depends on usage patterns and the amount of toner that print jobs require.
An HP color print cartridge lasts an average of 10,000 pages and an HP black print cartridge lasts an
average of 11,000 pages when printing on letter or A4-size paper at 5% coverage for each print cartridge.
Usage conditions and print patterns could cause actual results to vary.
At any time, you can verify the life expectancy by checking the toner level, as described below.
