Toner cartridge information
The toner cartridge is designed to simplify replacement of the major consumable parts. The toner cartridge contains the printing mechanism and a supply of toner. At 5% page coverage, a toner cartridge will print approximately 2,500 pages. However, a toner cartridge should print more pages if it regularly prints pages with less coverage, such as short memos. The cartridge might print fewer pages if heavy or bold print is used. Note For best results, always use a toner cartridge before the expiration date stamped on the toner cartridge box.

Refilled toner cartridges
While Hewlett-Packard does not prohibit the use of refilled toner cartridges during the warranty period or while the printer is under a maintenance contract, it is not recommended for the following reasons:
l

Repairs resulting from the use of refilled toner cartridges are not covered under Hewlett-Packard warranty or maintenance contracts. Hewlett-Packard has no control or process to ensure that a refilled toner cartridge functions at the high level of reliability of a new HP LaserJet toner cartridge. Hewlett-Packard also cannot predict the long term reliability effect on the printer from using different toner formulations found in refilled cartridges. The print quality of HP LaserJet toner cartridges influences the customer's perception of the printer. Hewlett-Packard has no control over the actual print quality of a refilled toner cartridge.

l

l

Recycling toner cartridges
In order to reduce waste, Hewlett-Packard offers a recycling program. Cartridge components that do not wear out are recycled. Plastics and other materials are recycled. Hewlett-Packard pays the shipping costs from the user to the recycling plant. To join this recycling effort, follow the instructions inside the toner cartridge box.

Additional product stewardship
Environmental conformity
The design of this HP LaserJet product facilitates the recycling of:
Printer and parts Design for recycling has been incorporated into this printer and its accessories. The number of materials has been kept to a minimum while ensuring proper functionality and high product reliability. Dissimilar materials have been designed to separate easily. Fasteners and other connections are easy to locate, access, and remove with common tools. High-priority parts have been designed to be accessed quickly for efficient disassembly and repair. Plastic parts have been primarily designed in two colors to enhance recycling options. A few small parts are colored specifically to highlight customer access points. The plastics used in the printer housing and chassis are technically recyclable.
