Do you need to remove the orange plastic item on a new HP Laser Jet Pro MFP MT125nw print cartridge?

[brockbankdm]

I opened the package of my HP LaserJet Pro MFP125nw print cartridge. However, there is an orange plastic thing attached to the print cartridge and connected to a tape that is inside the print cartridge. 

Do I need to pull out the tape by pulling out the orange plastic thing?

I ended up pulling on the orange thing and pull out about 4 inches of the tape but then I stopped because the tape kept coming out. I thought there would only be 1-2 inches of tape.

Yes,

Please pull out the orange plastic till the tape is fully removed, it should be much longer than 1-2 inches..

See Figure 8 below which demonstrate a such:
