Ink Supply Guidelines
For optimum results from your printer and the ink system, always follow these guidelines when handling HP Ink

•Install ink cartridges and printheads in their color-coded slots.
•Follow the instructions on the front panel during installation.
•Avoid unnecessary removal of the ink cartridges and printheads.
•When turning off your printer, always use th e power-off button on the front panel. The printheads are then
parked correctly which prevents them from drying out.
•The ink cartridges should never be removed while the printer is printing. They should only be removed when
the printer is ready for you to replace th em. T he fr ont panel wil l gu id e you through the removal and installation
procedure. See When to Replace HP Ink Supplies.
CAUTION: When you first received your pri nter it was sup plied with a set of four set up printheads i nstalled
in the printhead carriage. These setup printheads are used for the priming of the tubes in the
modular ink delivery system. Do not remove the setup printheads from the carriage without
following the procedures in the Assembly and Set-up Poster.
