Information on ink cartridges and the printhead

The following tips help maintain HP ink cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.

•The instructions in this user guide are for replacing ink cartridges, and are not intended for first time installation.

•Keep all ink cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.

•Be sure to turn off the printer properly. For more information, see Turn off the printer.

•Store ink cartridges at room temperature (15-35° C or 59-95° F).

•Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.

•Handle ink 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 off the printer by pressing (Power) button. Wait until all sounds of internal motion stop before unplugging the printer. For more information, see Turn off the printer.

◦Make sure you leave the ink cartridges installed.

◦The printer must be transported sitting flat; 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 off the printer when ink cartridges are missing.
