Maintaining Printheads

The printheads used in the HP 2000C are extremely durable and do not need to be replaced every time an ink cartridge is replaced.

The printheads control the amount of ink transferred to the page, so you will continue to see high-quality printing results, even when the ink levels of the ink cartridges are getting low.

You can get printhead status information by printing a Diagnostic Test page. This page will help you determine the current condition of your printheads.

NOTE:

Two-way communication between your printer and your computer lets your printer send status, attention, and error information to your computer. When two-way communication is not working, you can still check the status of the printheads using the HP 2000C Toolbox.

To print a Diagnostic Test page

1With the printer on (power light on), press and hold

down the power button.

2Press the resume button 5 times.

3Release the power button.

ATTENTION:

When turning off your printer, always use the power button on the printer rather than unplugging it or switching off a power strip. Whenever you turn off the power, the printhead carriage returns to its ÒhomeÓ position, which prevents the printheads from drying out.
