HP 4101mfp manual Checking the print cartridge, EconoMode

	Checking the print cartridge
	Image-formation defects are often the result of problems with the print cartridge. Use the
	following list to verify that the print cartridge is still operating correctly.
Hint	If toner gets on your clothing while you are handling the print cartridge, wipe it off with a dry cloth
	and then wash the clothing in cold water.
	Perform all of the following checks before replacing the print cartridge.
	● Verify that the print cartridge has toner.
	• 6000-pagecapacity full print cartridge weight is about 1343 grams (47.4 oz).
	• 10,000-pagecapacity full print cartridge weight is about 1490 grams (52.59 oz).
	• 6000-pagecapacity empty print cartridge weight is about 1105 grams (39.0 oz).
	• 10,000-pagecapacity empty print cartridge weight is about 1110 grams (39.18 oz).
	● Check the print cartridge to see if it has been disassembled or refilled.
	● Verify that the print cartridge is seated properly in the MFP cavity.
	● Inspect the cartridge for toner leaking through worn seals. (Manual rotation of the drum can
	cause internal damage, and toner spills can result.)
Note	The print cartridge is rated for 6000 to 10,000 images at five-percent coverage. Check the surface
	of the photosensitive drum in the cartridge to see if it has been damaged or scratched. Touching
	the drum contaminates the photosensitive surface and might cause spotting and defects during
	printing.
	● White areas on the page might indicate that the drum has been exposed to light for too long.
	If white areas appear, stop the MFP and wait a few minutes. This should eliminate most
	defective images. If not, the print cartridge can be placed in a dark environment for several
	days, which might restore some life to the drum.
	EconoMode
	EconoMode creates draft-quality printing by reducing the amount of toner on the printed page by
	up to 50 percent. Advise the customer to turn EconoMode on or off either from the printer driver
	or a software application.
