Managing the Toner Cartridge
Toner Cartridge Life
The life of your toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner your
print jobs require. When you print text, a toner cartridge lasts an
average of 6,800 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 (set to 3 - see “Adjusting Print
Density” in Chapter 6).
Using EconoMode can further extend toner cartridge life (see
“EconoMode Printing” in Chapter 6).
Storing, Installing, and Recycling the Toner
Cartridge
Storing: Do not remove the toner cartridge from its packaging until you
are ready to use it. The shelf life of a cartridge in an unopened package
is approximately 2 1/2 years of storage; the shelf life of a cartridge in an
opened package is approximately six months.
Installing and Recycling: To install a new toner cartridge, follow the
instructions in the Installation and Recycling Guide included in your
toner cartridge box. The guide also includes information on recycling.
HP’s Policy on Use of Non-HP Toner Cartridges
Hewlett-Packard cannot recommend use of non-HP toner cartridges,
either new or remanufactured. Because they are not HP products, HP
cannot influence or control their quality.
