HP Officejet Pro 251dw Printer series - Manual (Page 53)

This information helps HP design future printers to meet our customers' printing needs.
The data collected from the cartridge memory chip does not contain information that
can be used to identify a customer or user of the cartridge or their printer.
HP collects a sampling of the memory chips from cartridges returned to HP's free
return and recycling program (HP Planet Partners: www.hp.com/hpinfo/
globalcitizenship/environment/recycle). The memory chips from this sampling are read
and studied in order to improve future HP printers. HP partners who assist in recycling
this cartridge might have access to this data, as well.
Any third party possessing the cartridge might have access to the anonymous
information on the memory chip. If you prefer to not allow access to this information,
you can render the chip inoperable. However, after you render the memory chip
inoperable, the cartridge cannot be used in an HP printer.
If you are concerned about providing this anonymous information, you can make this
information inaccessible by turning off the memory chip's ability to collect the printer's
usage information:
To disable the usage information function
1.
On the printer control panel, touch (right arrow), and then touch Setup.
2. Select Preferences, and then select Cartridge Chip Information.
3. Touch OK to turn off usage information collection.
NOTE: To re-enable the usage information function, restore the factory defaults.
NOTE: You can continue to use the cartridge in the HP printer if you turn off the
memory chip's ability to collect the printer's usage information.
