Store the print cartridge

When you store or transport the printer, always leave the active print cartridge inside the printer. The printer stores the print cartridge in a protective cap during the power-down cycle.

CAUTION: Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you unplug the power cord. This allows the printer to store the print cartridge properly.

Follow these tips to help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality:

Keep all unused print cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15–35° C or 59–95° 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.

Maintain the quality of photo paper

For best results with photo paper, follow the guidelines in this section.

To store photo paper

Store the photo paper in its original packaging or in a resealable plastic bag.

Store the packaged photo paper on a flat, cool, and dry surface.

Return unused photo paper to the plastic bag. Paper left in the printer or exposed to the elements may curl.

To handle photo paper

Always hold photo paper by the edges to avoid fingerprints.

If the photo paper has curled edges, place it in its plastic storage bag and gently bend it in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat.
