install or replace a print cartridge

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

To get maximum use from your print cartridges, turn off the printer when it is not in use. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power source (such as a power strip) until the Printer Status light is off. Waiting to turn off the printer allows it to store the print cartridges properly.

1If the printer is off, press the ON button on the printer’s control panel to turn on the printer.

2Lift the main cover of the printer. The print cartridge cradle moves to the middle of the printer.

3If you are replacing a print cartridge, push down and pull outward on the print cartridge to unsnap it from the print cartridge cradle. Remove the print cartridge and store, recycle, or discard it. For information about recycling print cartridges, go to www.hp.com/recycle.

4Take the new print cartridge out of its package.
