8 Handling ink cartridges and printhead
There are 4 replaceble ink cartridges that supply the printhead. You can check status information, and easily
change an ink cartridge when required.
About the ink cartridges
Ink cartridges store the ink and are connected to the printhead, which distributes the ink on the paper.
To purchase additional cartridges, see Accessories on page 67
CAUTION: Observe precautions when handling ink cartridges because they are ESD-sensitive devices. Avoid
touching pins, leads and circuitry.
NOTE: Dynamic security enabled printer. Only intended to be used with cartridges using an HP original chip.
Cartridges using a non-HP chip may not work, and those that work today may not work in the future. More at:
http://www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies.
Storage of anonymous usage information
Each ink cartridge contains a memory chip that assists in the operation of the printer.
The memory chip stores a limited set of anonymous information about the usage of the printer, which can
include the following: the date when the cartridge was rst installed, the date when the cartridge was last used,
the number of pages printed using the cartridge, the page coverage, the frequency of printing, the printing
modes used, any printing errors that may have occurred, and the product model. This information helps HP to
design future products to meet our customers' printing needs.
The data collected by the memory chip does not include information that could be used to identify a customer or
user of the cartridge or printer.
HP collects a sample of the memory chips from ink cartridges returned to HP's free return and recycling program
(HP Planet Partners: http://www.hp.com/recycle). The sampled memory chips are read and studied in order to
improve future HP products.
HP partners who assist in recycling ink cartridges may also have access to the data. Any third party possessing
the cartridge may be able to access the anonymous information on the memory chip. If you prefer to not allow
access to this information, you can render the chip inoperable. However, after you render the memory chip
inoperable, the cartridge cannot be used in an HP printer.
If you are concerned about providing this anonymous information, you can turn o the memory chip's ability to
collect printer usage information. To do so, access the front panel and tap
, then Preferences►Automatically
send printer data, or access the Embedded Web Server, and click Settings►Preferences►Data Collection
settings. This does not prevent the cartridge from working normally in other respects. However, if you change
your mind later, you can restore the factory defaults to resume collecting printer usage information.
