applicable, the status of other replaceable maintenance parts.
● Print quality problems can occur when using a toner cartridge that is at its estimated end of life. The
supplies status page indicates when a supply level is very low.
● HP’s Premium Protection Warranty expires when a message indicating that HP’s Premium Protection
Warranty on this supply has ended appears on the supplies status page or in the EWS.
● The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.
Consider having a replacement cartridge available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.
● If you determine that you need to replace a toner cartridge, or another replaceable maintenance part,
the genuine HP part numbers are listed on the supplies status page.
2. Check to see if you are using a genuine HP cartridge.
A genuine HP toner cartridge has "HP" on it, or it has the HP logo. For more information on identifying HP
cartridges go to www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies .
