Manage supplies

Using, storing, and monitoring the print cartridge can help ensure high-quality output.

Supplies life

The average cartridge yield is 6,500 pages (for the Q7551A cartridge) or 13,000 pages (for the Q7551X cartridge), in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752. Actual cartridge yield depends on specific use.

CAUTION EconoMode is a feature that allows the device to use less toner per page. Selecting this option may extend the life of the toner supply and may reduce cost per page. However, it will also reduce print quality. The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs. HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you will need to install a new print cartridge, even if there may be toner supply remaining in the cartridge.
