Toner Cartridge Information

The Toner Cartridge is designed to simplify replacement of the major “consumable” parts. The Toner Cartridge contains the printing mechanism and a supply of Toner.

At 5% page coverage, a Toner Cartridge will print approximately 6,000 or 10,000 pages (depending on the model installed). However, a Toner Cartridge should print more pages if regularly printing pages with less coverage, such as short memos. If EconoMode is used full-time, it is possible that the Toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the Toner Cartridge. The cartridge may print fewer pages if routinely printing dense print.

Refilled Toner Cartridges

While Hewlett-Packard does not prohibit the use of refilled Toner Cartridges during the warranty period or while the printer is under a maintenance contract, it is not recommended for the following reasons:

Repairs resulting from the use of refilled Toner Cartridges are not covered under Hewlett-Packard warranty or maintenance contracts.

Hewlett-Packard has no control or process to ensure that a refilled Toner Cartridge functions at the high level of reliability of a new HP LaserJet Toner cartridge. Hewlett-Packard also cannot predict what the long term reliability effect on the printer is from using different Toner formulations found in refilled cartridges.

The print quality of HP LaserJet Toner Cartridges influences the customer’s perception of the printer. Hewlett-Packard has no control over the actual print quality of a refilled Toner Cartridge.

Recycling Toner Cartridges

In order to reduce waste, Hewlett-Packard offers a recycling program for used Toner Cartridges. Cartridge components that do not wear out are recycled. Plastics and other materials are recycled. HP pays the shipping costs from the user to the recycling plant. For each cartridge returned, HP donates one U.S. dollar to be shared by the Nature Conservancy and the National Wildlife Federation. To join this recycling effort, follow the instructions inside the Toner Cartridge’s box.
