Tips for working with cartridges
Use the following tips to work with cartridges:
● To protect the cartridges from drying out, always turn the printer o using the Power button.
● Do not open or untape cartridges until you are ready to install them. Leaving tape on the cartridges
reduces ink evaporation.
● Insert the cartridges into the correct slots. Match the color of each cartridge to the color of the cartridge
latch. Make sure the cartridges snap into place.
● Align the printer for best print quality. See Printing issues on page 89 for more information.
● When the Estimated Cartridge Levels screen in the HP Smart app or the Estimated Levels screen in the
printer software shows one or both cartridges in a low state, consider getting replacement cartridges to
avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the cartridges until print quality becomes
unacceptable. See Replace the cartridges on page 59 for more information.
● If you remove a cartridge from the printer for any reason, try to replace it again as soon as possible. If a
cartridge is left unprotected outside the printer, its nozzles might dry out and clog up.
● Cartridges can be left in the printer for extended periods of time. However, to assure optimal cartridge
health, be sure to turn o the printer properly when the printer is not in use.
● Press (the Power button) to turn o the printer. Wait until the power light turns o before unplugging
the power cord or turning o a power strip.
CAUTION: If you incorrectly turn the printer o, the print carriage might not return to the correct position,
causing problems with the cartridges and print quality issues.
