For best print quality, HP recommends that you install all retail print cartridges before the date stamped on the box.

To prepare the printer and cartridge

1.Make sure the printer is on.

2.Open the print cartridge door of the printer.

3.Remove the bright pink tape from the cartridge.

To insert the cartridge

1.Remove the old cartridge from the cradle by pushing down and pulling outward on the cartridge.

Warning Do not touch the copper-colored contacts inside the print cartridge compartment or on the print cartridge.

2.Hold the replacement cartridge with the label on top. Slide the cartridge at a slight upward angle into the cradle so the copper-colored contacts go in first. Push the cartridge until it snaps into place.

3.Close the print cartridge door.

The idle screen of the printer displays an icon showing the approximate ink level for the installed cartridge (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and nearly empty). No ink-level icon appears if the cartridge is not a genuine HP cartridge.
