HP LaserJet Enterprise M406, M407 - Replace the toner cartridge

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

Toner 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.

Continue printing with the current cartridge until redistributing the toner no longer yields acceptable print quality. To redistribute the toner, remove the toner cartridge from the printer and gently rock the cartridge back and forth end to end. For graphical representation, see the cartridge replacement instructions. Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer, and then close the cover.

To purchase cartridges or check cartridge compatibility for the printer, go to HP SureSupply at www.hp.com/go/suresupply. Scroll to the bottom of the page and verify that the country/region is correct.

Note:

Cartridges are listed based on regional distribution and availability. A cartridge from any country/region (except China and India) will work in this printer.
