HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E87640, E87650, E87660 - Replace the toner cartridge

Replace the toner cartridge if you receive a message on the printer, or if you have print quality problems.

Cartridge information

This printer indicates when the toner cartridge level is low and very low. The actual toner cartridge life remaining can vary. Consider having a replacement cartridge available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.
To purchase cartridges, contact the managed service representative. Make sure to have the product model number, which appears on the product label on the back of the printer.
note:
High-yield toner cartridges contain more toner than standard cartridges for increased page yield. For more information, go to www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies.
Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until it is time to replace it.
  caution:
To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover the green imaging drum if the toner cartridge must be removed from the printer for an extended period of time.
  caution:
If toner gets on clothing, wipe it off by using a dry cloth and wash the clothes in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
note:
Information about recycling used toner cartridges is in the toner-cartridge box.
