Work with print cartridges

To ensure the best print quality from the HP All-in-One, you will need to perform some simple maintenance procedures. This section provides guidelines for handling the print cartridges and instructions for replacing, aligning, and cleaning the print cartridges.

You might also need to check your print cartridges if the Check Print Cartridge light is on. This might mean that the print cartridges are not installed properly or are missing, the plastic tape has not been removed from the print cartridges, the print cartridges are out of ink, or the print carriage is blocked.

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.

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

3 Ink nozzles under tape

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.
