	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
Note
	supplied by HP.

	To install a print cartridge
	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.
CAUTION
	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).
