Ink cartridges

The printer's six ink cartridges provide magenta, light magenta, black, yellow, light cyan and cyan ink to the printheads. Each cartridge has a capacity of 775 ml.

Ink cartridges require no maintenance or cleaning. When each ink cartridge is shaken vigorously before installation, and inserted correctly into its slot, the ink will flow to the printheads. Because the printheads control the amount of ink that is transferred to the page, high-quality printing results continue even when the ink levels are getting low.

CAUTION: Avoid touching pins, leads and circuitry when handling ink cartridges because these elements are sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can reduce the life expectancy of the device.

Replace ink cartridges

You can highlight the icon at any time to check the ink levels of all the ink cartridges.

The front panel warns you when cartridge ink level is low. When a cartridge is empty, the printer stops printing and the front panel provides an explanation.

HP recommends that you replace the empty cartridge with a new HP cartridge. See Order ink supplies on page 58 and Replace an ink cartridge on page 43.
