Using HP print cartridges
The following sections provide information about HP print cartridges and instructions for redistributing
toner and changing the print cartridge.
HP policy on non-HP print cartridges
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP print cartridges, either new, refilled,
or remanufactured. Since they are not HP products, Hewlett-Packard cannot influence their design or
control their quality. Service or repair that is required as a result of using non-HP print cartridges will not
be covered under the printer warranty.
NOTE:
The warranty does not apply to defects resulting from software, interfacing, or parts not
supplied by Hewlett-Packard.
Storing print cartridges
Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the print cartridge, minimize its exposure to direct light.
Some HP LaserJet print cartridge packages are stamped with an alphanumeric date code. This code
represents a 30-month period beyond the date of production that facilitates efficient inventory
management processes between HP and its resellers. It does not serve as an indication of toner life
(shelf-life) or relate in any way to warranty terms and conditions.
Print cartridge life expectancy
The life of the print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that your print jobs require. When printing
text at approximately 5% coverage, the print cartridge for the HP LaserJet 1020 printer lasts for an
average of 2,000 pages.
NOTE:
It is possible that the toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If the
print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you must install a new print cartridge, even
if there is toner supply remaining in the cartridge.
This life expectancy assumes that you set the print density to 3 and turn EconoMode off. (These are the
default settings.)
Saving toner
While in EconoMode, the printer uses less toner on each page. Selecting this option will extend the life
of the print cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but it will reduce print quality. HP does not
recommend the full-time use of EconoMode.
