Section 1 Printing Basics
Maintaining and Replacing Printheads
Maintaining Printheads
The printheads used in the HP 2000C are extremely
durable and do not need to be replaced every time an ink
cartridge is replaced.
The printheads control the amount of ink transferred to
the page, so you will continue to see high-quality printing
results, even when the ink levels of the ink cartridges are
getting low.
You can get printhead status information by printing a
Diagnostic Test page. This page will help you determine
the current condition of your printheads.
To print a Diagnostic Test page
1 With the printer on (power light on), press and hold
down the power
button.
2 Press the resume button 5 times.
3 Release the power button.

NOTE:
Two-way communication
between your printer and your
computer lets your printer
send status, attention, and
error information to your
computer. When two-way
communication is not working,
you can still check the status
of the printheads using the
HP 2000C Toolbox.
ATTENTION:
When turning off your printer,
always use the power button
on the printer rather than
unplugging it or switching
off a power strip. Whenever
you turn off the power, the
printhead carriage returns
to its “home” position, which
prevents the printheads from
drying out.
