Information on ink cartridges and the printhead

The following tips help maintain HP ink cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.

•Keep all ink cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.

•Turn off the product by pressing the On button. Do not turn off the product by turning off a power strip or unplugging the power cord. If you improperly turn off the product, the printhead assembly might not return to the correct position.

•Store ink cartridges at room temperature (15.6°-26.6° C or 60°-78° F).

•HP recommends that you do not remove the ink cartridges from the product until you have replacement cartridges available to install.

•If you are transporting the product make sure you turn it off by pressing the On button to power it down properly. Also, make sure you leave the ink cartridges installed. Doing these actions will prevent ink leaking from the printhead assembly.

•Clean the printhead when you notice a significant decrease in print quality.

•Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.

•Handle ink cartridges carefully. Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during installation can cause temporary printing problems.
