Monitor the print cartridge to ensure high-quality output.
Supplies life expectancy
The life of the print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require and the length of
life for the components inside the cartridge. When printing text at approximately 5% coverage (typical
for a business letter), the HP print cartridge lasts an average of 18,000 pages. The page-yield
specification that HP provides is a general guideline. Actual yield can vary according to usage conditions.
