Information on ink cartridges and the print head

The following tips help maintain HP ink cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.

Make sure you follow the instructions in the Setup Guide for installing the print head
and the ink cartridges for the first time. The instructions in this online help are for
replacing ink cartridges, and are not intended for first time installation.

If you are replacing an ink cartridge, wait until you have the new ink cartridge available
to install, before removing the old cartridge.

CAUTION:

Wait until you have a new ink cartridge available before removing

the old ink cartridge. Do not leave the ink cartridge outside of the product for an
extended period of time. This can result in damage to both the product and the
ink cartridge.

Keep all ink cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.

Turn off the HP Photosmart by pressing the On button located on the product. Wait
until the On light turns off before unplugging the power cord or turning off a power
strip. If you improperly turn off the HP Photosmart, the print carriage might not return
to the correct position causing problems with the ink cartridges and print quality
issues.
