Non-HP print cartridges

Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend use of non-HP print cartridges, either new or remanufactured. Because they are not genuine 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.

When you use a non-HP print cartridge, certain features, such as remaining toner volume data may not be available as a result of using this non-HP supply.

If the non-HP print cartridge was sold to you as a genuine HP product, see HP fraud hotline.

Print cartridge authentication

The HP Color LaserJet 4600 series printer automatically authenticates the print cartridges when the cartridges are inserted into the printer. During authentication, the printer will let you know if a cartridge is or is not a genuine HP print cartridge.

If the printer control panel message states that this is not a genuine HP print cartridge and you believe you purchased an HP print cartridge, call the HP fraud hotline.

To override a non-HP print cartridge error message, see NON HP

CARTRIDGE DETECTED.
