4.4 Maintaining Print Cartridges
The following suggestions will help maintain HP print cartridges and
ensure consistent print quality:
Keep all print cartridges in their sealed packages in an upright position until they are needed. Print cartridges
should be stored at room temperature (60–78 degrees F or 15.6–26.6 degrees C).
Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install the print cartridge in the
printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the
tape damages the ink nozzles.
If print cartridges are removed from their sealed containers, store them in an airtight container. For best results,
store the black cartridge with the nozzle side up and the color cartridge with the nozzle side down. Do not allow
anything to touch the nozzle plate.
Once the print cartridges are installed in the printer, do not remove them unless they need to be manually
cleaned. This prevents ink from evaporating or clogging the print cartridges.
Do not unplug the printer until printing is complete and the printer is turned off. Use the Power button to turn off
the printer.
