maintaining print cartridges
The following tips will help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent
print quality:
• Keep all print cartridges in their sealed packages until they are
needed. Print cartridges should be stored at room temperature
(60–78 degrees F or 15.6–26.6 degrees C).
• If print cartridges have been removed from their sealed packages and
not used, store the cartridges an HP storage container. Do not allow
anything to touch the nozzles.
• If the plastic tape has been removed from the print cartridge, do not
attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape will damage the print
cartridge.
• Once print cartridges are installed in the printer, leave them in the
print cartridge cradle unless they are being manually cleaned. This
prevents ink from evaporating or clogging the print cartridges.
Caution!
Do not
unplug the printer until printing is complete, the print
cartridge cradle returns to the home position on the right side of the
printer, and the printer has been turned off. Print cartridges dry out if not
stored in the home position.
