maintaining print cartridges

The following suggestions will help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print

quality:

Keep all print cartridges in their sealed packages in an upright position until they are

needed. Print cartridges should be stored at room temperature (60–78 degrees F or

15.6–26.6 degrees C).

Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install

the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print

cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the ink nozzles.

If print cartridges are removed from their sealed containers, store them in an airtight

container. For best results, store the black cartridge with the nozzle side up and the

color cartridge with the nozzle side down. Do not allow anything to touch the nozzle

plate.

Once the print cartridges are installed in the printer, leave them in the print cartridge

cradle unless they are being manually cleaned. This prevents ink from evaporating or

clogging the print cartridges.

Do not unplug the printer until printing is complete and the printer is turned off. Use

the

Power

button to turn off the printer.
