HP LaserJet Managed E50145 - Replace the toner cartridge

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

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 your managed service representative. Make sure that you know your 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.

The following illustration shows the toner-cartridge components.
