How to Install a Toner Cartridge in an HP LaserJet 1200 Series

The HP LaserJet 1200 is a monochrome laser printer built for the home office and the small business. The machine can print up to 15 pages per minute with a resolution of up to 1200 dpi. The printer, which has been discontinued by HP, can last a long time with proper maintenance. This includes toner cartridge replacement when documents start looking faded, or when you notice an overall decline in quality.

Things You'll Need

• Replacement toner cartridge

Instructions

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Flip the front toner door toward your body, exposing the printer cartridge. The toner door will release the cartridge. Slide it out of the compartment.

3. Remove the new cartridge from its package and shake it back and forth. Bend the tab on the cartridge's right side to release it and pull out the strip of tape from the cartridge.

4. Slide the cartridge into the toner compartment. It will snap in place. Close the toner door.
