1If you install ink cartridges before the “Must Install Before” date (see the back of the ink cartridge packaging), the ink cartridges expire 18 months after being installed in the HP Digital Copier.

2If you install the ink cartridges after the “Must Install Before” date, the cartridges expire in less than 18 months.

The expiration period is the maximum time for which an ink cartridge can be used. It is not a warranty period. To determine the expiration period of the ink cartridge in your unit, print a Self-Test Report.

For more information, see create a self-test report for cartridges and printheads on page 67.

For more information, see maintain printheads and ink cartridges on page 36 and check the ink level on page 36.

copies do not look right

copies are faded, colors are incorrect or dull

The following issues relate to copies that look differently than expected.

If you notice that colors are not what you expect, such as faces appearing with strong red undertones rather than flesh tones, then you may need to perform a color calibration. However, do not perform a color calibration unless necessary.

For more information, see perform color calibration on page 47.

do you need to replace an ink cartridge or printhead?

Print a Self-Test Report to make sure all six colors are available. If a color is missing, try cleaning the ink cartridge contacts. After cleaning, try printing again. If the problem persists, replace the color ink cartridge.

Warning! To avoid damaging the HP Digital Copier, remove an ink cartridge or a printhead only when a replacement is available.

For more information, see create a self-test report for cartridges and printheads on page 67, clean the ink cartridge contacts on page 43 and replace the ink cartridges on page 41.

do you need to adjust the hue and tint?

As ink cartridges age, some colors fade. If your ink cartridges are old (over 8 months), adjust the color intensity.

1On the front panel, press Menu, then press 1.

2Use the arrow keys to adjust the color intensity.

When you replace the ink cartridges in the future, you may need to move the slider back.

do you have the lighter/darker feature set correctly?

For more information, see make copies lighter or darker on page 17.
