Product Information
Full details
The 5 Star Compatible Toner (CF217A) is an ideal printing solution for home office users and small business owners who require high-quality monochrome documents at a lower cost per page. Designed as a reliable replacement for the original HP 17A toner, this cartridge provides crisp, professional text output and maintains consistent performance across a variety of document types; however, as a compatible third-party product, it may occasionally trigger status alerts on some HP printer models that favor original manufacturer cartridges.

What is the page yield of this cartridge?
It provides a yield of approximately 1,600 pages, based on the standard ISO/IEC 19752 testing methodology.
Can I use this in my color laser printer?

How should I store unused toner?
Store in a cool, dark, and dry environment, keeping the cartridge in its original packaging until installation.
Are there environmental concerns with this cartridge?
Yes, please dispose of your empty toner cartridges at a local electronics recycling facility or through office supply store take-back programs.
Troubleshooting
Printer displays 'Non-Genuine' or 'Low Toner' warning
These are standard software messages when using compatible toners. Select 'Continue' or 'OK' on the printer display or computer prompt to bypass the warning and proceed with printing.
Streaks or faded lines appear on the printout
Remove the cartridge and gently shake it side-to-side to redistribute the toner. If the issue persists, run the printer's built-in cleaning cycle from the maintenance menu.
Printer fails to recognize the cartridge
Ensure the cartridge is fully seated in the printer carriage. Remove the cartridge, clean the metal contact points with a lint-free cloth, and reinsert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, power off the printer, open the front access door, and remove the existing cartridge. Gently shake the 5 Star toner cartridge side-to-side to distribute the toner powder evenly. Remove the protective orange clip or plastic seal if present, slide the new cartridge into the printer's track until it clicks into place, and close the access door. This cartridge is fully compatible with HP LaserJet Pro M102a, M102w, MFP M130a, M130fn, M130fw, and M130nw models. To maintain print quality, keep the cartridge in its sealed packaging until you are ready to use it and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
