Print cartridges
To get the best performance from your printer, Hewlett-Packard recommends using
only genuine HP supplies in HP inkjet printers, including only HP print cartridges.
Damage resulting from the modification or refilling of HP cartridges is specifically
excluded from coverage of HP printer warranties.
Refilling an HP cartridge pushes the electronic and mechanical components of the
cartridge past their normal life cycle, creating many potential problems, such as the
following:
Poor print quality
■ Non-HP ink can contain components that cause nozzles to become clogged,
resulting in streaked copy and graying or fuzzy characters.
■ Non-HP inks can contain components that corrode the cartridge’s electrical
components, resulting in poor printouts.
Potential damage
■ If ink from a refilled cartridge leaks, the excess ink might damage the service
station that caps the cartridge while it is in the printer but not in use. Because this
service station maintains the health of the cartridge, quality problems might occur
with this cartridge.
■ If ink from a refilled cartridge leaks onto the electrical components in your printer,
severe printer damage can occur, causing down-time and repair costs.
C AUTION Damage resulting from the modification or refilling of HP cartridges
is specifically excluded from the coverage of HP printer warranties.
N OTE When buying replacement print cartridges, check the part numbers carefully so
that you buy the right cartridges for your printer:
Black Large Black Tri-Color
HP 51645G HP 51645A HP C1823A
Storing and using print cartridges
To maintain excellent print quality from your print cartridges:
■ Keep all print cartridges in their sealed packages, at room temperature
(60-75
o F or 15.6-26.6 o C), until you are ready to use them.
■ Turn off the printer and allow the print cartridges to return to the right side of the
printer for proper capping of the nozzles before you unplug the power module or
turn off any attached power strip.
N OTE When either the black or tri-color print cartridge runs out of ink, replace it. If
you do not have a new print cartridge, leave the empty print cartridge in the
cradle until you can replace it. The printer cannot print with only one print
cartridge installed.
