Store and transport the printer and ink cartridges

Protect the printer and ink cartridges by storing them properly when you are not using them.

Store and transport the printer

The printer is built to withstand long or short periods of inactivity. Store the printer indoors out of direct sunlight in a place without temperature extremes.

Caution To prevent ink loss or spillage: do not transport or store the printer on its side, and leave the ink cartridges installed while storing and transporting the printer.

Store and transport the ink cartridges

When you transport or store the printer, always leave the active ink cartridge inside the printer to prevent the ink from drying out.

Caution 1 To prevent ink loss or spillage: leave the ink cartridges installed while storing and transporting the printer, and avoid leaving used ink cartridge(s) out of the printer for extended lengths of time.

Caution 2 Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you unplug the power cord. This allows the printer to store the print head properly.

Follow this tip to help maintain your HP ink cartridges and ensure consistent print quality:

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

To store photo paper

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