Using HP print cartridges
The following sections provide information about HP print cartridges and instructions for
redistributing toner and changing the print cartridge.
HP policy on non-HP print cartridges
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP print cartridges, either
new, refilled, or remanufactured. Since they are not HP products, Hewlett-Packard cannot
influence their design or control their quality. Service or repair that is required as a result of
using non-HP print cartridges will not be covered under the printer warranty.
Note The warranty does not apply to defects resulting from software, interfacing, or parts not
supplied by Hewlett-Packard.
Storing print cartridges
Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the print cartridge, minimize its exposure to direct light.
Some HP LaserJet print cartridge packages are stamped with an alphanumeric date code.
This code represents a 30-month period beyond the date of production that facilitates
efficient inventory management processes between HP and its resellers. It does not serve as
an indication of toner life (shelf-life) or relate in any way to warranty terms and conditions.
Print cartridge life expectancy
The life of the print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that your print jobs require.
When printing text at 5 percent coverage, the print cartridge lasts for the following average
amounts:
● HP LaserJet 1160 printer: 2,500 pages
● HP LaserJet 1320 series printer: 2,500 pages (a replacement cartridge that lasts for
6,000 pages is also available)
This life expectancy assumes that you set the print density to 3 and turn EconoMode off.
(These are the default settings.)
Saving toner
While in EconoMode, the printer uses less toner on each page. Selecting this option will
extend the life of the print cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but it will reduce print
quality. HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. See
Using EconoMode
(saves toner) for more information.
