HP policy on non-HP print cartridges

 

Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP print cartridges, either new,

 

refilled, or remanufactured. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence their

 

design or control their quality. Service or repair required as a result of using a non-HP print

 

cartridge will not be covered under the printer warranty.

 

The warranty does not apply to defects resulting from software, interfacing, or parts not

To install a print cartridge, see the start guide.

Storing print cartridges

Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it. Some HP LaserJet print cartridge packages are stamped with an alphanumeric date code. This code represents a 30-month period beyond the date of production in order to facilitate efficient inventory management processes between HP and its resellers. It does not serve as an indication of toner life (shelf-life) or relate in any way to warranty terms and conditions.

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 on letter/A4-size paper at 5 percent coverage, the print cartridge lasts an average of 2,000 pages. This assumes that you set the print density to 3 and turn EconoMode off (these are the default settings).

Recycling print cartridges

Since 1990, the HP Printing Supplies Returns and Recycling Program has collected millions of used LaserJet print cartridges that otherwise may have been discarded in the world's landfills. The HP LaserJet print cartridges and supplies are collected and bulk shipped to our resource and recovery partners who disassemble the cartridge. After a thorough quality inspection, selected parts are reclaimed for use in new cartridges. Remaining materials are separated and converted into raw materials for use by other industries to make a variety of useful products.
