Introduction

Use HP Cartridge Policy and Cartridge Protection to control which cartridges are installed in the printer and

protect the cartridges that are installed from theft. These features are available with HP FutureSmart versions 3

and later.

●

Cartridge Policy

: This feature protects the printer from counterfeit toner cartridges by allowing only genuine

HP cartridges to be used with the printer. Using genuine HP cartridges ensures the best possible print

quality. When someone installs a cartridge that is not a genuine HP cartridge, the printer control panel

displays a message that the cartridge is unauthorized and it provides information explaining how to

proceed.

●

Cartridge Protection

: This feature permanently associates toner cartridges with a specific printer, or fleet of

printers, so they cannot be used in other printers. Protecting cartridges protects your investment. When

this feature is enabled, if someone attempts to transfer a protected cartridge from the original printer into

an unauthorized printer, that printer will not print with the protected cartridge. The printer control panel

displays a message that the cartridge is protected, and it provides information explaining how to proceed.

CAUTION:

After enabling cartridge protection for the printer, all subsequent toner cartridges installed in

the printer are automatically and

permanently

protected. To avoid protecting a new cartridge, disable the

feature

before

installing the new cartridge.

Turning the feature off does not turn off protection for cartridges that are currently installed.

Both features are off by default. Follow these procedures to enable or disable them.
