Get lots of extra prints from your HP 1600/2600/2605 printer for FREE

The HP 1600/2600/2605 range of printers provide useful consumable management information to users, including displaying a graphical indication of toner life and advising users when to order new toners as they gets low.

However you may be surprised to hear that when the printer tells you a toner is at 0% it isn’t normally empty. In fact it’s generally capable of printing very many more good quality copies. Some people claim as many as 20% more.

The secret to getting 100’s of extra FREE prints from “empty” cartridges is to put your printer into “toner override” mode. You do this simply by pressing a few buttons on the front of the printer. In this mode when a toner reaches 0% the printer will briefly display a warning that toner override is active but it will carry on printing, allowing you to decide when a toner is really empty and when you need to change it.

The information on how to do this is in the user manual, but is not obvious and so this feature is not commonly known about (why would HP want you to know?!).

You’ll get lots of extra copies for free, and when you think back to how many “empty” cartridges you’ve thrown away, you’ll be wishing you knew about it sooner! Not only will you save money, it’s also “green” as you’ll need to buy and dispose of fewer toners.

We’ve prepared an easy to follow instruction sheet to tell you how to do it. Don’t worry it’s very simple and will take you less than 30 seconds! The guide is free and will be sent to you by email. Just fill in your details below and hit the 'Get Your Free Guide' button.
