Managing the print cartridge

When you use a new, authentic HP print cartridge (C8543X), you can obtain the following types of supplies information:

●amount of cartridge life remaining

●estimated number of pages remaining

●number of pages printed

●other supplies information

Print cartridge authentication

The printer will let you know that a cartridge is not a genuine HP print cartridge when you insert it in the printer. If you insert a used HP cartridge from another HP printer, the printer can take as many as 20 printed pages to receive the message authenticating that the cartridge is a genuine HP part.

If the printer control-panel message states that this is not a genuine HP print cartridge and you believe you purchased an HP cartridge, go to www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit.

Non-HP print cartridges

Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend use of non-HP print cartridges, either new or remanufactured. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence their design or control their quality. Service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP print cartridge will not be covered under the printer warranty.
