HP Latex 3000 Printer - Manual (Page 101)

Change the left spittoon every time the cleaning roll is replaced. The foam is provided with the HP 881 Latex
Cleaning Roll.
Condensation collector bottle
The printer has a system that collects most of the vapor generated while drying and curing the ink and
condenses it in a bottle located at the left side of the printer. You should check the bottle from time to time
and empty it when necessary. Consult your local authorities to determine the correct manner in which to
dispose of wastes.
Ink deposits
The printer can check the firing capacity of each single nozzle. Doing so causes small amounts of ink to
accumulate close to the drop detector. This ink gradually forms ink deposits that need to be cleaned; see
Clean the ink deposits on page 156 .

Ink cartridges
Remove an ink cartridge
An ink cartridge should be removed and replaced when it is empty or past its expiry date. An empty cartridge
is indicated in the Internal Print Server and by an orange blinking light beside the cartridge itself. You may
also decide to remove a cartridge if it contains little ink and you want to provide for a long period of
unattended printing.
The printer can continue printing without any ink cartridges for at least 10 minutes, depending on the print
mode and the job being printed. Therefore, cartridges can be replaced while printing continues. A functional
ink cartridge is required in order to start a new job.
1. Go to the cartridge that you intend to remove. The cartridges are arranged as shown below.
