Ink Supply Guidelines
For optimum results from your printer and the ink system, always follow these guidelines when handling the HP Ink
Supplies:
• Always install the ink cartridges and printheads before the expiry date, which is on the packaging.
• Install ink cartridges and print heads 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 the 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 them. The front panel will guide you through the removal and installation proce-
dure. See When to Replace
HP Ink Supplies.
CAUTION: When you first received your printer it was supplied with a set of four setup printheads installed 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 Setup Poster.
