Tips for working with cartridges

Check the estimated ink levels

From the Home screen, touch the Ink icon to display the estimated ink levels.

NOTE: 1 If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or unavailable.

NOTE: 2 Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not have to replace the cartridges until the print quality is unacceptable.

NOTE: 3 Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the product and cartridges for printing, and in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more information, see www.hp.com/go/inkusage.

5522, 5525, 5520 specifications

The HP 5520, 5525, and 5522 are versatile all-in-one inkjet printers designed to meet the diverse printing needs of both home and small office environments. These models are part of HP's DeskJet series, which is known for its affordability, user-friendly features, and impressive performance.

One of the standout characteristics of the HP 5520 series is its wireless connectivity. Users can seamlessly print from various devices, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops, courtesy of features like HP ePrint and Apple AirPrint. This functionality allows for convenient printing from virtually anywhere within the network, eliminating the need for cumbersome wired connections.

Another key feature is the automatic duplex printing capability available in these models. This feature not only reduces paper consumption by allowing users to print on both sides of the page but also saves money and is more environmentally friendly.

The inclusion of a flatbed scanner and copier further enhances the multifunctionality of these devices, enabling users to perform scanning and copying tasks with ease.

The use of HP's proprietary ink technology ensures that prints are not only high-quality but also fade-resistant, promising longevity for printed documents and photos. The printers utilize individual ink cartridges, which means users can replace only the color that runs out, contributing to lower operating costs.

Additionally, the HP Smart App allows users to manage their printing tasks efficiently. The app provides easy access to printer functions, including scanning, copying, and troubleshooting, all from a smartphone or tablet. This integration of technology simplifies the user experience and enhances productivity.
