Chips, Printer Messages & Installation
Installing: open the printer's top or front cover, pull out the empty cartridge by its handle, then rock the new cartridge gently side to side five or six times to spread the toner. Pull the sealing tape straight out by its tab, slide the cartridge in until it seats and close the cover.
Supply messages: if the printer shows a "non-HP supply" or "used supply" notice, press OK or Continue to keep printing. If the cartridge isn't recognized, check that all packing material is off and reseat it firmly.
Streaks or faint print: rock the cartridge again to redistribute toner and print a cleaning page from the printer menu. See laser printer streaks and lines.

Compatible vs. Remanufactured vs. Original
Original (OEM) toner is new from the printer brand and costs the most. Compatible toner, like this cartridge, is newly manufactured by a third party to the original's size and page-yield specifications, so it drops into the same slot at a much lower price. Remanufactured toner is an emptied original cartridge that has been rebuilt and refilled. Castle Ink sells compatible (newly manufactured) toner and remanufactured inkjet cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pages does the HP 43X black print?
About 30,000 pages, based on HP's rating for the original C8543X at roughly 5% coverage.
Will this void my printer warranty?
No. Under the U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer can't void your printer warranty just because you used a third-party or remanufactured supply. If a non-original supply directly caused damage, that specific repair might not be covered.
How long can I store it?
Sealed toner keeps for about two years at room temperature. Keep it in its bag, away from heat and direct sunlight, and store it flat.
When will my order ship?
Orders placed by 4 PM ET, Monday through Friday, ship the same business day from Long Island, NY, by USPS (2–5 business days). Expedited 1–2 day delivery is available at checkout, and shipping is free on orders over $50.
