When to Replace Cartridge(s)

Note that your HP DesignJet 700 contains only one black cartridge.

Note that your HP DesignJet 750C Plus has three color and one black cartridge(s).

Replace the cartridge(s) in the following three circumstances.

1When the plotter prompts you to replace one or more cartridge(s) (by displaying Service cartridge(s) on the front panel).

The plotter automatically checks before and after every plot that the cartridge(s) are seated correctly and that the nozzles are working, this is called automatic checking. You can switch off the automatic checking using the front panel menus.

Note that automatic checking does not check the ink levels.

2When either poor print quality or the ink-level indicator on the cartridge indicates that the cartridge is out of ink.

To check a cartridge's ink level:

Green = full

A considerable portion of ink has been used.

Cartridge is close to empty.*

Black = empty

* It is recommended to have a replacement cartridge ready by this time.

Note: The ink-level indicator is not an exact gauge of the specific quantity of ink available over the life of the cartridge.
