Toner cartridge storage
Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it. The shelf life of a cartridge in an unopened package is approximately 2.5 years. The shelf life of a cartridge in an opened package is approximately 6 months.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.
Toner cartridge life expectancy
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, an
HP LaserJet 1100 toner cartridge lasts an average of 2,500 pages. This assumes the print density is set to 3 and EconoMode is off. (These are the default settings.)
Recycling toner cartridges
To install a new HP toner cartridge, see “Changing the toner cartridge” or follow the instructions included in the toner cartridge box. Also, see the recycling information on the toner cartridge box and “HP Cartridge Recycling Program information.”
Saving toner
To save toner, select the EconoMode option in your printer properties settings. EconoMode (Save Toner) allows the printer to use less toner on each page. Selecting this option will extend the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will reduce print quality. See “Print using EconoMode (save toner).”
