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
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.
Print cartridge storage
Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.
