3.Lightly press down on the print cartridge to release it, and then pull it toward you out of the slot.

NOTE: Do not remove both print cartridges at the same time. Remove and clean each print cartridge one at a time. Do not leave a print cartridge outside the HP All- in-One for more than 30 minutes.

NOTE: Your printer might be packaged with only a tri-color print cartridge. For better results, install a black print cartridge in addition to the tri-color print cartridge. You can print without a black print cartridge but doing so can cause the printer to print more slowly and printed colors to differ from those you would see if a black print cartridge and a tri-color print cartridge were installed.

Some models of the HP All-in-One do not support photo print cartridges.

To order print cartridges, go to www.hp.com. Choose your country/region, and then click Buy or Online Shopping.

4.Place the print cartridge on a piece of paper with the ink nozzles facing up.

5.Lightly moisten a clean foam rubber swab with distilled water.

6.Clean the face and edges around the ink nozzle area with the swab, as shown below.

1Nozzle plate (do not clean)

8.Repeat if necessary for the other print cartridge.

9.Gently close the print cartridge door and plug the power cord into the back of the HP All-in-One.
