- Hewlett-Packard Photo Printer User's Guide

In some countries/regions the cartridge protector is not included with the printer,
but comes with the HP Gray Photo cartridge that can be purchased separately. In
other countries/regions, the protector might be included with the printer.
● Keep all unused print cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are
needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15–35° C or 59–95° F).
● Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to
install the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from
the print cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages
the print cartridge.
Maintaining the quality of photo paper
For best results with photo paper, follow the guidelines in this section.
Storing photo paper
● Store the photo paper in its original packaging or in a resealable plastic bag.
● Store the packaged photo paper on a flat, cool, and dry surface.
● Return unused photo paper to the plastic bag. Paper left in the printer or exposed
to the elements may curl.
Handling photo paper
● Always hold photo paper by the edges to avoid fingerprints.
● If the photo paper has curled edges, place it in its plastic storage bag and gently
bend it in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat.
