Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the 5 Star compatible cartridge, first open the printer toner access door, remove the empty cartridge, and gently shake the new 5 Star toner cartridge horizontally to ensure the powder is evenly distributed. Remove any protective clips or tape before inserting the cartridge firmly into the printer until it clicks into place. This cartridge is compatible with HP LaserJet Pro models M1132, M1212nf, M1214nfh, P1100, P1102, P1102w, and P1109. To maintain print quality, store the cartridge in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always handle the drum surface with care to avoid smudges.
