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.
