Is this an original HP product?

Does this unit require toner to work?

What if the drum is damaged upon arrival?
Check the shipping packaging for signs of transit damage and contact your supplier for a replacement if the drum surface is scratched.
Troubleshooting
Vertical streaks on printed pages
Clean the drum unit gently with a dry, lint-free cloth or check for debris inside the printer path.
Printer displays 'Non-Genuine' error
This is common with compatible units; select 'Continue' or 'OK' on the printer display to proceed with printing.

Check the printer's density settings in the software menu or ensure the drum is properly seated in the housing.
