Replacing an ink cartridge
You can check the ink level at any time by accessing the INK menu and pressing the ▲ key. Information
on each ink cartridge is displayed at three-second intervals.
The front panel warns you when a cartridge's ink level is low or when a cartridge is empty. Printing will
continue without interruption if you replace the ink when you are prompted by the front panel.
You are recommended to replace the empty cartridge with a new HP ink cartridge: see How do I...
Replace an ink cartridge.
Although it is possible to use refilled or non-HP ink cartridges, either choice has several serious
disadvantages:
● There is some risk of damaging the printer. In this case the printer warranty will not be valid for any
printer repairs that are related to the cartridge, nor for any problems due to ink contamination.
● You will invalidate the warranty of all printheads of the same color used in the printer subsequently,
unless and until the whole ink system (including ink tubes) is replaced.
● Print quality may be impaired.
● The printer will be unable to estimate the ink level in the cartridge, and will report it as empty.
If you decide to use refilled cartridges, you will need to follow these instructions to make the printer use
a cartridge that it believes to be empty.
1. Install the cartridge in the printer. See How do I.. Replace an ink cartridge
2. The printer will see that the cartridge is empty and ask to replace it.
The following front panel message is displayed.
XX: Ink name (K: Black, Lm: Light magenta, Lc: Light cyan)
XX: Ink name (C: Cyan M: Magenta Y: Yellow)
3. Press the ▼ key and the CANCEL keys at the same time, and hold them down for at least two
seconds.
