HP Deskjet F4240 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 129)

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 4: Check the print cartridges for protective tape
Solution: Check each print cartridge. The tape might have been removed from the
copper-colored contacts, but still might cover the ink nozzles. If the tape is still
covering the ink nozzles, carefully remove the tape from the print cartridges. Do not
touch the ink nozzles or the copper-colored contacts.
1 Copper-colored contacts
2 Plastic tape with pink pull tab (must be removed before installing)
3 Ink nozzles under tape
For more information, see:
Replace the print cartridges
Cause: The protective plastic tape was only partially removed from the print
cartridge.
Ink is spraying the inside of the HP All-in-One when I print a photo
Solution: Make sure you load photo paper in the input tray before you print a
borderless print job.
Cause: The borderless print settings require photo paper to be loaded in the input
tray. You are using the wrong paper type.
