NOTE:

Your printer might be packaged with only a tri-color print cartridge. For better

results, install a black print cartridge in addition to the tri-color print cartridge. You can
print without a black print cartridge but doing so can cause the printer to print more
slowly and printed colors to differ from those you would see if a black print cartridge
and a tri-color print cartridge were installed.
Some models of the HP All-in-One do not support photo print cartridges.
To order print cartridges, go to

click Buy or Online Shopping.

Keep all unused print cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are
needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15–35 degrees C or 59–95
degrees F).

Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install
the print cartridge in the device. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print
cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the print
cartridge.

Always turn the HP All-in-One off with the Power button before you

unplug the power cord or turn off a power strip. This allows the device to store the
print cartridges properly. When you store the HP All-in-One, always leave the active
print cartridges inside the device.
