HP policy on non-HP supplies

Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP toner cartridges, either new or remanufactured.

NOTE: For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or a refilled toner cartridge does

not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer. However, if product failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or refilled toner cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials charges to service the product for the particular failure or damage.

ENWW

HP policy on non-HP supplies

HP anticounterfeit Web site

Go to www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit when you install an HP toner cartridge and the control-panel message says the cartridge is non-HP. HP will help determine if the cartridge is genuine and take steps to resolve the problem.

Your toner cartridge might not be a genuine HP toner cartridge if you notice the following:

The supplies status page indicates that a non-HP supply is installed.

●

You are experiencing a high number of problems with the cartridge.

●

The cartridge does not look like it usually does (for example, the packaging differs from

replace the cartridge.

Select the Prompt to continue option to set the product to stop printing (including printing

●

faxes) and prompt you to replace the cartridge. You can acknowledge the prompt and continue printing.

Select the Continue option to set the product to alert you that the cartridge is very low, but to

●

continue printing.

NOTE: Using the Continue setting allows printing beyond Very Low without customer

interaction and can result in unsatisfactory print quality.

NOTE: To avoid damage to the product, when the toner-collection unit is full, the product stops

printing.

If you select the Stop or Prompt to continue option, the product stops printing when it reaches the Very Low threshold. When you replace the cartridge, the product automatically resumes printing.

When the product is set to the Stop or Prompt to continue option, there is some risk that faxes will not print when the product resumes printing. This can occur if the product has received more faxes than the memory can hold while the product is waiting.

The product can print faxes without interruption when it passes the Very Low threshold if you select the

Continue option for color and black cartridges, but print quality might degrade.
