Information on cartridges and the printhead
The following tips help maintain HP cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.
●
The instructions in this user guide are for replacing cartridges, and are not intended for rst time
installation. For the rst time installation, follow the instructions in the setup poster provided with the
printer.
●
When you turn the printer o, always use (the Power button). This allows the printer to cap the
printhead and protect it from damage.
●
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.
—
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.
NOTE: This printer is designed for ink cartridges to be used until they are empty. Relling cartridges prior to
depletion might cause your printer to fail. If this happens, insert a new cartridge (either genuine HP or
compatible) to continue printing.
