Remove the ink cartridges and printheads before shipment

Before you return the device, make sure you remove your ink cartridges and printheads.

NOTE: This information does not apply to customers in Japan.

To remove ink cartridges before shipment

1. Turn the device and wait until the print carriage is idle and silent. If the device will not turn on,

skip this step and go to step 2.

2. Gently pull open the ink cartridge cover.

3. Remove the ink cartridges from their slots by grasping each between your thumb and

forefinger and pulling it firmly toward you.

4. Place the ink cartridges in an airtight plastic container so they will not dry out, and put them

aside. Do not send them with the device unless the HP customer support call agent instructs

you to do so. For more information on storing supplies, see Store printing supplies.

5. Close the ink cartridge door and wait a few minutes for the print carriage to move back to its

home position (on the right side).

6. Press the Power button to turn off the device.
