Information on cartridges and the printhead
The following tips help maintain HP cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.
●
The instructions in this guide are for replacing cartridges, and are not intended for rst time installation.
●
Keep all cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.
●
Be sure to turn o the printer properly. For more information, see Turn the printer o .
●
Store cartridges at room temperature (15-35° C or 59-95° F).
●
Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.
●
Handle cartridges carefully. Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during installation can cause temporary
printing problems.
●
If you are transporting the printer, do the following to prevent ink leaking from the printer or other
damage from occurring to the printer:
◦
Make sure you turn o the printer by pressing (the Power button). Wait until all sounds of
internal motion stop before unplugging the printer.
◦
Make sure you leave the cartridges installed.
◦
The printer must be transported sitting at; it should not be placed on its side, back, front, or top.
CAUTION: HP recommends that you replace any missing cartridges as soon as possible to avoid print quality
issues and possible extra ink usage or damage to the ink system. Never turn o the printer when cartridges
are missing.
NOTE: This printer is not designed to use continuous ink systems. To resume printing, remove continuous
ink system and install original HP (or compatible) cartridges.
