Refilled toner cartridges HP policy on non-HP toner cartridges Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend use of new, refilled, or remanufactured, non-HP toner cartridges. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence their design or control their quality. While Hewlett-Packard Company does not prohibit the use of refilled toner cartridges during the warranty period or while under a maintenance contract, we do not recommend their use for the following reasons: l Hewlett-Packard has no ability to ensure that a refilled toner cartridge functions at the high level or reliability of a new HP toner cartridge. Hewlett-Packard also cannot predict the long-term effect of the different toner formulations found in refilled cartridges. l Hewlett-Packard has no control over the print quality of a refilled toner cartridge. The print quality of HP toner cartridges influences the customer's perception of the printer. l Repairs resulting from the use of refilled toner cartridges might not be covered under the HP warranty or maintenance contract. Recycling toner cartridges In many countries, this product's printing supplies (for example, toner cartridge) can be returned to HP through the HP Printing Supplies Environmental Program.

Toner cartridge weights The approximate weight of a toner cartridge when full and empty is as follows: l Full: 1105 grams (39.07 ounce) l Empty: 900 grams (31.77 ounce) Toner cartridge life expectancy The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner used in each print job. When printing text at 5 percent coverage, an HP LaserJet 2200 toner cartridge lasts an average of 5,000 pages. This assumes the default print density setting and that EconoMode is off (default settings). Saving toner with EconoMode Toner cartridge usage can be extended by using the printer's EconoMode feature. EconoMode can be turned on or off through the driver or HP LaserJet device configuration. l EconoMode functions in portrait orientation only. l EconoMode does not function at 1200 dpi. l Some software applications might refer to EconoMode as "draft mode." 66 Chapter 4 Printer maintenance C7058-90936
