To get the best performance from your printer, use only genuine HP supplies, including genuine HP factory-filled print cartridges.

To get maximum use from your print cartridges,use the POWER button to turn off the printer. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power source (such as a power strip) until the Print light is off. This allows the printer to store the print cartridges in a protected state.

Caution! Check that you are using the correct print cartridges. Do not refill print cartridges yourself. Damage resulting from the modification or refilling of HP print cartridges is specifically excluded from the HP printer warranty coverage.
