Data stored on the print cartridge

The HP print cartridges used with this product contain a memory chip that assists in the operation of
the product.

In addition, this memory chip collects a limited set of information about the usage of the product,
which might include the following: the date when the print cartridge was first installed, the date when
the print cartridge was last used, the number of pages printed using the print cartridge, the page
coverage, the printing modes used, any printing errors that might have occurred, and the product
model. This information helps HP design future products to meet our customers' printing needs.

The data collected from the print cartridge memory chip does not contain information that can be
used to identify a customer or user of the print cartridge or their product. However, a customer can
choose not to store usage data on the memory chip through the control panel.

HP collects a sampling of the memory chips from print cartridges returned to HP's free return and
recycling program (HP Planet Partners:

www.hp.com/recycle

). The memory chips from this sampling

are read and studied in order to improve future HP products. HP partners who assist in recycling this
print cartridge might have access to this data, as well.

Any third party possessing the print cartridge might have access to the anonymous information on the
memory chip.
