HP Deskjet 5740 Color Inkjet Printer - Manual (Page 15)

Using print cartridges
The print cartridges can be used in the following ways:
Everyday printing
Use the black and tri-color print cartridges for everyday print jobs.
Quality color photos
For more vibrant colors when printing color photographs or other special documents,
remove the black print cartridge and install a photo print cartridge. The photo print
cartridge, in combination with the tri-color print cartridge, provides you with virtually
grain-free photos.
Replacing print cartridges
When buying print cartridges, look for the print cartridge selection number.
You can find the selection number in three places:
●

replacing.

● Print Cartridge Ordering Information dialog box: For a list of print cartridge selection
numbers, open the printer
Toolbox , click the Estimated Ink Level tab, and then
click the Print Cartridge Ordering Information button.
If a print cartridge runs out of ink, the printer can operate in ink-backup mode .

installation page.
Ink-backup mode
Use the ink-backup mode to operate the printer with only one print cartridge. The ink-
backup mode is initiated when a print cartridge is removed from the print cartridge
cradle.
