Managing supplies

Using, storing, and monitoring print cartridges can help ensure quality printer output.

Supplies life

The life of the print cartridge depends on usage patterns and the amount of toner that print jobs require. For example, when printing text at 5 percent coverage, an HP print cartridge lasts an average of 4,000 or 6,000 pages, depending on the printer model. (A typical business letter is about 5 percent coverage.)

Cartridge life expectancy is reduced by frequently printing many 1- or 2-page jobs, heavy coverage, and automatic duplexing. At any time, you can verify the life expectancy by checking the print cartridge life. See Checking the print-cartridge life for more information.

Approximate print-cartridge replacement intervals

The following table lists the estimated replacement intervals for print cartridges and the control-panel messages that indicate when to replace each item.

Printer	Page count	Approximate time period1

HP Color LaserJet 3600 Series printer	6,000 pages (black)	4 months

	4,000 pages (color)

HP Color LaserJet 3800 Series printer	6,000 pages (black)	6 months

	6,000 pages (color)

1Approximate life is based on 1,500 pages per month.

2Approximate average A4-/letter-size page count based on approximately 5% coverage of individual colors.
