Non-HP print cartridge

Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP print car tridges, 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 Hewlett-Packard print cartridge will not be covered under
the printer warranty.

When you use a non-HP print car tridge, the car tridge is unable to repor t on the status of the print cartridge.
The

CARTRIDGE LOW

and

CARTRIDGE OUT

messages will not be provided.

Print cartridge authentication

When you insert a non-HP print cartridge in the printer, the printer will inform you if a cartridge is not a
genuine HP print cartridge. If you insert a used HP cartridge from another HP printer, the printer can take as
many as 60 printed pages to authenticate that the cartridge is a genuine HP part, and will then reactivate the
supply status features.

If the printer control panel message states that this is not a genuine HP print car tridge and you believe you
purchased an HP car tridge, call the HP fraud hotline at (1) (887) 219-3183 (toll-free in North America).

Print cartridge storage

Do not remove the print car tridge from its package until you are ready to use it. The shelf life of a car tridge in
an unopened package is approximately 2.5 years.
