Print cartridge life expectancy

The life of the print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that your print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, the standard print cartridge (C7115A) lasts an average of 2,500 pages. The extended life print cartridge (C7115X) lasts an average of 3,500 pages. This assumes that you set the print density to 3 and turn EconoMode off (these are the default settings).

Recycling print cartridges

To reduce landfill waste, Hewlett-Packard has adopted a recycling program for empty print cartridges. A postage-paid shipping label is inside the new HP LaserJet print cartridge box. Since 1990, the HP LaserJet Print Cartridge Recycling Program has collected more than 25 million used HP LaserJet print cartridges that otherwise might have been discarded in the world’s landfills. To join this recycling effort, follow the instructions provided in the new print cartridge box.

To install a new HP print cartridge, see To install a print cartridge or follow the instructions included in the print cartridge box. See the recycling information on the print cartridge box and the HP Printing Supplies Environmental Program Information included in the print cartridge box.

Saving toner

To save toner, select the EconoMode option in your printer properties settings. While in EconoMode (Save Toner), the printer uses less toner on each page. Selecting this option will extend the life of the print cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but it will reduce print quality. See Print cartridge life expectancy for more information.
