HP 5M manual Exclusions

Exclusions

The warranty on your HP LaserJet printer shall not apply to defects or damage resulting from:

•Improper or inadequate maintenance by customer.

•Customer-supplied software or interfacing.

•Unauthorized modification or misuse.

•Operation outside of the environmental specifications for the product.

•Printing of non-supported media.

•Duty cycle abuse (see the following explanation).

•Operating the printer from a mechanical switchbox without a designated surge protector.

•Improper site preparation and maintenance.

•Use of non-HP toner cartridges (see the following explanation), SIMM memory boards, or interface boards.

The use of non-Hewlett-Packard toner cartridges does not affect either the warranty or any maintenance contract purchased from HP. However, if an HP LaserJet printer failure or printer damage is found to be directly attributable to the use of any non-HP product, the repair will not be covered under the warranty or HP maintenance contract. Hewlett-Packard cannot recommend use of non-HP cartridges, either new or remanufactured, because they are not HP products and HP cannot influence or control their quality.

Operation of the printer beyond the limit of its duty cycle (printing more than the equivalent of 35,000 single-sided pages per month) shall be deemed printer abuse and all repairs thereafter will be billed on a time and materials basis.

If you are using a mechanical switchbox, ensure that it is equipped with a surge protector. Damage to your printer could occur from the use of unprotected mechanical switchboxes.

The warranty period begins either on the date of delivery or, where the purchase price includes installation by Hewlett-Packard, on the date of installation.
