Information about ink cartridges

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

If you need to replace an ink cartridge, wait until you have the new ink cartridge available to install before removing the old cartridge.

CAUTION: Do not leave untaped ink cartridges outside of the product for an extended period of time. This can result in damage to the ink cartridge.

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

Turn off the HP All-in-One by pressing the (Power) button located on the product. Wait until the power light turns off before unplugging the power cord or turning off a power strip. If you improperly turn off the HP All-in-One, the print carriage might not return to the correct position causing problems with the ink cartridges and print quality issues. For more information, see Turn off the device.

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

You do not need to replace the cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable, but a significant decrease in print quality may be the result of one or more depleted cartridges. Possible solutions include checking the estimated ink levels remaining in the cartridges, and cleaning the ink cartridges. Cleaning the ink cartridges uses some ink. For more information, see Clean the ink cartridges.

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