FAQs
Will this cartridge void my HP printer warranty?
No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, manufacturers cannot void your warranty for using remanufactured cartridges unless they can prove the cartridge caused direct damage to the printer.
What is the page yield for this cartridge?
This cartridge is rated for approximately 2,700 pages based on 5% coverage of an A4 sheet.
Is this a new or recycled cartridge?
This is a remanufactured cartridge, meaning it is a high-quality recycled housing that has been professionally cleaned, refilled with premium toner, and tested.
How should I store these cartridges if I buy in bulk?
Store in the original box in a horizontal, cool, dark environment to ensure the toner remains stable.
Does it work with both M401 and M425 models?
Yes, this cartridge is fully compatible with both the HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401 and M425 series printers.
Troubleshooting
Printer displays 'Non-Genuine' or 'Used' cartridge message.
This is normal for remanufactured toner. Simply press 'OK' or 'Resume' on the printer control panel to bypass the message and continue printing.
Printouts appear faint or have vertical streaks.
Remove the cartridge, gently rock it back and forth to redistribute the toner, and clean the printer's internal laser scanner glass with a dry, lint-free cloth.
Printer does not recognize the cartridge at all.
Ensure all orange protective clips or tabs are fully removed from the cartridge and re-insert the unit, ensuring it is firmly seated in the drum carriage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply open the printer access panel, remove the old cartridge, and gently shake the new Alpa-Cartridge side-to-side to redistribute the toner powder. Insert the cartridge into the designated slot until it clicks securely into place. This model is compatible with the HP Laser Pro 400, M401, and M425 series. Keep the cartridge stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid touching the metallic contacts or the OPC drum surface to prevent print defects. If the printer displays a 'non-genuine' message, simply select 'OK' or 'Continue' on the printer's display to bypass the warning.
