Replace the print cartridge

When the print cartridge is empty, a REPLACE CARTRIDGE message appears on the printer control panel. The printer continues printing (without customer interaction) until it reaches a drum-out condition, but HP does not guarantee print quality after this message appears. However, if the REPLACE CARTRIDGE message results from the drum life being exceeded, the user has to replace the cartridge immediately, and no override is possible. This is done to protect the printer and the print cartridge.

Recycling

For information about recycling the print cartridge, see Protecting the environment or go to www.hp.com/recycle.

Using the printer cleaning page

To ensure good print quality with certain types of paper, use the cleaning page every time the print cartridge is replaced. If the cleaning page is frequently needed, try a different type of paper.

If toner specks appear on the front or back side of your print jobs, use the following procedure.

From the printer control panel:

1Use or to select Configure Device and then press .

2Use or to select Print Quality and then press .

3Use or to select Create Cleaning Page and then press .

4Follow the instructions on the cleaning page.

5When toner has been cleaned from inside the printer, shiny black spots will appear on the page black strip. If white spots appear on the black strip, print another cleaning page.

In order for the cleaning page to work correctly, print the cleaning page on copier-grade paper (not bond or rough paper).

Rocking the print cartridge

When you install a print cartridge for the first time, gently rock the cartridge from front to back to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. Because of the new cartridge design, this is the only time that you need to rock the cartridge.

Configuring alerts

You can use HP Web Jetadmin or the embedded Web server in the printer to configure the system to alert you to problems with the printer. The alerts take the form of e-mail messages that are sent to the e-mail account or accounts that you specify.

You can configure the following items:

the printer(s) that you want to monitor.

which alerts are to be received (for example, alerts for paper jams, paper out, order cartridge, replace cartridge, and cover open)
