Replace the waste ink bottle
WARNING! The HP waste ink bottle has been specifically designed to contain waste ink
from the printer. It is designed to work with the printer’s waste ink quantity estimation system
to alert the user when the bottle is full. It provides safe handling and disposal of waste ink
when sealed with its attached cap.
Use only an HP waste ink bottle. The bottle must be installed according to instructions or
waste ink may overflow.
An HP waste ink bottle must always be installed before turning the printer on. Automatic and
manual service cycles produce waste ink that must be contained in an HP waste ink bottle.
CAUTION Do not remove the cap from its tether to the HP waste ink bottle. The cap is
needed to seal the HP waste ink bottle properly for disposal.
WARNING! Always use both hands to remove and carry an HP waste ink bottle.
Keep the HP waste ink bottle upright. Do not place it on tables or shelves where it could fall.
Waste ink is combustible. Keep an HP waste ink bottle containing waste ink away from open
flames, sparks, or other sources of ignition.
Never store waste ink in a glass container.
Never pour waste ink into a container filled with other chemicals.
CAUTION The level in the HP waste ink bottle must be checked by visual inspection to
prevent overflow. If the waste ink level is above the indication line, the bottle must be replaced
with an empty HP waste ink bottle.
NOTE Place a sheet of paper under the HP waste ink bottle on the floor when removing a
bottle containing waste ink. This will help clean up any ink spills. If soaked with ink, treat the
paper as a combustible material and dispose of properly.
HP recommends that you always keep a spare empty HP waste ink bottle available. Some
maintenance procedures require installation of an empty HP waste ink bottle to prevent ink
overflow.
The HP waste ink bottle contains organic solvents and must be disposed of in compliance with
all local, state, and federal regulations. Always securely replace the cap on a full or partially-
full the HP waste ink bottle after removing it from the printer to prevent ink spills.
Ensure all operators are trained in the use of emergency equipment such as eye wash
stations and fire extinguishers and know where they are located.
NOTE Do not replace the waste ink bottle during printing.
The waste ink bottle must be checked on a daily basis to make sure that it is not full.
