As you discovered when you installed your HP Digital Copier, the ink delivery system consists of both ink cartridges, which contain the ink and printheads that control copy quality. To ensure the best quality from your HP Digital Copier, you will need to perform some simple maintenance procedures, and when prompted by a front-panel message or warning light, replace the ink cartridges and printheads.

You can easily check the ink supply level from the front panel.

2Press 3, then press 1.

This selects the Status and Maintenance menu, then selects the Check Ink Level option.

A message in the front-panel display lets you know how much ink you have left, for both black and tri-color ink cartridges.

Before you replace or clean a printhead, you should know the part name and how to handle the printhead.
