Storing print cartridges
Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it. The shelf life of a print cartridge in an unopened package is approximately 2.5 years. The shelf life of a print cartridge in an opened package is approximately 6 months.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light.
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. This assumes that you set the print density to 3 and disable EconoMode. (These are the default settings.)
Recycling print cartridges
To reduce landfill waste,
To install a new HP print cartridge, see Changing the 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 included in the print cartridge box.
Saving toner
While in EconoMode, 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 Using EconoMode (Save Toner) for more information.
