Managing supplies
Using, storing, and monitoring print cartridges can help ensure quality printer output.
Supplies life
The life of the print cartridge depends on usage patterns and the amount of toner that print jobs require.
For example, when printing text at 5% coverage, a black HP print cartridge lasts an average of 5,000
pages. (A typical business letter is about 5% coverage.)
Cartridge life expectancy is reduced by frequently printing many 1- or 2-page jobs or jobs with heavy
coverage. At any time, you can verify the life expectancy by checking the print-cartridge life. See
 for more information.
