Handle the print cartridges

Before you replace or clean a print cartridge, you should know the part names and how to handle the print cartridges.

1Copper-colored contacts

2Plastic tape with pink pull tab (must be removed before installing)

3Ink nozzles under tape

Maintain the HP All-in-One

Hold the print cartridges by their black plastic sides, with the label on top. Do not touch the copper-colored contacts or the ink nozzles.

NOTE: Handle the print cartridges carefully. Dropping or jarring cartridges can cause temporary printing problems, or even permanent damage.

Check the estimated ink levels

You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need to replace a print cartridge. The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink remaining in the print cartridges.

TIP: You can also print a self-test report to see if your print cartridges might need to be replaced.

NOTE: The HP All-in-One can only detect the ink levels for genuine HP ink. The ink levels in print cartridges that are refilled or have been used in other devices might not register accurately.
