Using, storing, and monitoring print cartridges can help ensure quality printer output.
Supplies life
The life of the print cartridge depends on usage patterns and the amount of toner that print jobs require.
For example, when printing text at 5 percent coverage, an HP print cartridge lasts an average of 4,000
or 6,000 pages, depending on the printer model. (A typical business letter is about 5 percent coverage.)
Cartridge life expectancy is reduced by frequently printing many 1- or 2-page jobs, heavy coverage, and
automatic duplexing. At any time, you can verify the life expectancy by checking the print cartridge life.
See 
Check the print-cartridge life on page 120 for more information.
Approximate print-cartridge replacement intervals
The following table lists the estimated replacement intervals for print cartridges and the control-panel
messages that indicate when to replace each item.

Change print cartridges
When a print cartridge approaches the end of useful life, the control panel displays a message
recommending that you order a replacement. The printer can continue to print using the current print
cartridge until the control panel displays a message instructing you to replace the cartridge.
The printer uses four colors and has a different print cartridge for each color: black (K), cyan (C), magenta
(M), and yellow (Y).
Replace a print cartridge when the printer control panel displays a  REPLACE 
CARTRIDGE  message.
NOTE:If all of the print cartridges wear out at the same time and you are printing mostly monochrome
(black and white), you should change the print mode to  MOSTLY BLACK PAGES. See

Manage memory
The HP Color LaserJet CP3505 Series printers have one dual inline memory module (DIMM) slot that
supports up to 1 GB RAM. Use the DIMM slot to upgrade the printer with the following items:
●More printer memory: DIMMs are available in 128, 256, 512 MB, and 1GB DDR 2
● Other DIMM-based printer languages and printer options
NOTE:
Single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) used on previous HP LaserJet printers are not
compatible with the printer.
NOTE: To order DIMMs, see Supplies and accessories on page 181.
You might want to add more memory to the printer if you often print complex graphics or PostScript
documents, or if you use many downloaded fonts. Additional memory also allows the printer to print
multiple collated copies at the maximum speed.
Before ordering additional memory, see how much memory is currently installed by printing a
configuration page. See 
Information pages on page 110.
Install memory DIMMs
You can install more memory for the printer, and you can also install a font DIMM to allow the printer to
print characters for languages such as Chinese or the Cyrillic alphabet.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage DIMMs. When handling DIMMs, either wear an antistatic
wrist strap, or frequently touch the surface of t he DIMM antistatic package and then touch bare metal
on the printer.
1. Turn the printer off, and then disconnect all power and interface cables.

slot, lift the DIMM up at an angle, and pull it out.
4.Remove the new DIMM from the antistatic package, and then locate the alignment notch on the
bottom edge of the DIMM.
