Maintaining the print cartridges

The following tips will help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality:

￿Keep all print cartridges in their sealed packages until they are needed. Print cartridges should be stored at room temperatures between 15° to 35° C (59° to 95° F).

￿Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the print cartridge.

Do not drop the print cartridge. Dropping the print cartridge may damage it.

Storing the print cartridges

When the black or photo print cartridge is removed from the printer, store it in the Print Cartridge Protector.

1Insert the print cartridge at a slight angle into the protector and snap it securely in place.
