I nstalling the toner cartr idge
HP recommends using HP LaserJet
toner cartridges, such as the one
included in the box. HP has designed its
HP LaserJet 3150 product and toner
cartridges to work together to give you
optimal image quality and reliability.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage, do not expose the
toner cartridge to light for more than a
few minutes.
To install the toner ca rtridge
1Use the two printer door release
latches to pull open the printer door.
2Shake the toner cartridge several
times from side to side (about two
times per second) to distribute the
toner evenly.

3Grasp the end of the clear sealing
tape on the side of the cartridge
and pull firmly to remove the entire
length of the tape (about twice as
long as the cartridge).
4Hold the cartridge by the handle (so
that the arrows are facing the
HP LaserJet 3150 product) and
slide the cartridge into the black
grooves in the product. Rotate the
cartridge firmly into place and close
the printer door.
Note
If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off
with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold

❏
Do the following:
No.
❏
• Make sure to remove the tape strip.
• Open and close the printer door again. If it still does not latch,
the toner cartridge may not be completely seated. Remove the
toner cartridge and reinsert it.
Reycling toner ca rtr idges
To reduce landfill waste, HP has adopted a recycling program for
toner cartridges. When you replace an empty HP LaserJet toner
cartridge, follow the instructions in the box of the new toner cartridge
to recycle the empty one. You can return the empty toner cartridge
free of charge using a postage-paid shipping label found inside the
new toner cartridge box.
Since 1990, the HP LaserJet Toner Cartridge Recycling Program has
collected more than 25 million used HP LaserJet cartridges that
otherwise may have been discarded in the world’s landfills.

important if the HP LaserJet 3150 product is connected to a line
receiving both fax and voice calls (a shared line) with an answering
machine. The rings to answer on the HP LaserJet 3150 product must
be higher than the rings to answer on the answering machine. This
allows the answering machine to ans wer the incoming call and record
a message if it is a voice call. This also allows the HP LaserJet 3150
product to listen to the call, and if it detects fax tones, to take the call.

Automatic, and the default number of rings to answer is 5. Use the

service, do not change this setting, or the HP LaserJet 3150 product
will not be able to receive faxes.
W hat is distinctive r ing service ?
Distinctive ring service is available from some local telephone
companies. It allows you to ha ve two or three phone numbers on one
line. This costs less than paying for two or three separate lines. Each
of the phone numbers will have a different ring pattern. For example,
calls to the voice number ring with a single-ring pattern, and to the fax
number ring with a double-ring pattern.These distinctive ring patterns
allow you to ans wer the call if it is a v oice call and allo w the product to
answer if it is a fax call.
Ho w do I ge t it?
If you would like distinctive ring service, call your local telephone
company to check availability and to subscribe. (Your telephone
company may use a different name for this service. For example, it’s
called “Identa-ring” in parts of New Jersey and “RingMaster” in parts
of Florida.) As of this printing, the service is only available in some
areas.
If you do not have distinctive ring

If distinctive ring is available and you choose to subscribe to it, keep

pattern to the fax number. The HP LaserJet 3150 product ignores
the others.
While distinctive ring service may allow you to have up to three

phone numbers on the same line, the HP LaserJet 3150 product
