Refilled or remanufactured print

cartridge

Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP supplies, either

new or remanufactured. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence

their design or control their quality. If you are using a refilled or remanufactured

print cartridge and are not satisfied with the print quality, replace the cartridge with

a genuine HP cartridge that has the words “HP” or “Hewlett-Packard” on it, or has

the HP logo on it.

Genuine HP print cartridge

The product control panel or the supplies status page indicates

Very Low

status when the cartridge has reached the end of its designated life. Replace

the print cartridge if print quality is no longer acceptable.

Visually inspect the print cartridge for damage. See the instructions that follow.

Replace the print cartridge if necessary.

If printed pages have marks that repeat several times at the same distance

apart, print a cleaning page. If this does not solve the problem, use the

repeating defects information in this document to identify the cause of the

problem.
