HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter - N811a N811d - Manual (Page 47)

HP collects a sampling of the memory chips from cartridges returned to HP's free
return and recycling program (HP Planet Partners: www.hp.com/hpinfo/
globalcitizenship/environment/recycle/). The memory chips from this sampling are read
and studied in order to improve future HP printers. HP partners who assist in recycling
this cartridge might have access to this data, as well.
Any third party possessing the cartridge might have access to the anonymous
information on the memory chip. If you prefer to not allow access to this information,
you can render the chip inoperable. However, after you render the memory chip
inoperable, the cartridge cannot be used in an HP printer.
If you are concerned about providing this anonymous information, you can make this
information inaccessible by turning off the memory chip's ability to collect the printer's
usage information.
To disable the usage information function
1.
Open the EWS. For more information, see Embedded web server.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. In the Preferences section, click the option that shows usage information or
cartridge chip info.
4. Select the option to turn off and click Apply.
NOTE: You can continue to use the cartridge in the HP printer if you turn off the
memory chip's ability to collect the printer's usage information.
