alternatives
To get the best performance from your HP OfficeJet, we recommend using
only genuine Hewlett-Packard supplies. See the Support and Specifications
booklet for information on ordering replacement ink cartridges and
printheads.
Caution! Damage that results from modifying or refilling HP
ink cartridges or the use of non-HP ink is specifically excluded
from the warranty coverage for the printer and printer
supplies.
non-hp ink cartridges
The Ink Level Gauge may not work properly with a non-HP ink cartridge. If
you choose to print with a non-HP ink cartridge, you may not know when
the cartridge is running low or empty. Printing with an empty ink cartridge
may seriously damage the printheads.
Any damage resulting from the use of a non-HP ink cartridge is not the
responsibility of Hewlett-Packard.
refilled ink cartridges
To install a refilled HP ink cartridge, you must override the Ink Level Gauge.
override the ink
level gauge
Overriding the Ink Level Gauge disables the printer’s ink level tracking
feature, but allows you to use a refilled cartridge.
Caution! If you use the override sequence described below,
you will disable the Ink Level Gauge for your ink cartridge. If
you choose to continue printing with an ink cartridge that has
had its Ink Level Gauge disabled, you will not know when the
cartridge is running low or empty. Printing with an empty
cartridge may seriously damage your printheads. Damage
that results from continued use of an ink cartridge with a
disabled Ink Level Gauge is not the responsibility of
Hewlett-Packard. Damage that results from the use of non-HP
ink is not the responsibility of Hewlett-Packard.
The Ink Level Gauge is automatically reset when a different ink cartridge is
installed in the printer.
Overriding the Ink Level Gauge does not affect ink cartridge expiration
dates. The printer cannot use an expired ink cartridge.
Follow these steps to override the Ink Level Gauge:
