Information on ink cartridges and the print head
The following tips help maintain HP ink cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.
• Install the ink cartridge on or before the install by date, which is printed on the ink
cartridge package.
• Keep all ink cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.
• Turn off the HP Photosmart by pressing the On button located on the device. Do not
turn off the device by turning off a power strip or unplugging the power cord from the
HP Photosmart. If you improperly turn off the HP Photosmart, the print head assembly
might not return to the correct position.
• Store ink cartridges at room temperature (15.6°-26.6° C or 60°-78° F).
• HP recommends that you do not remove the ink cartridges from the HP Photosmart
until you have replacement cartridges available to install.
If you are transporting the HP Photosmart make sure you turn off the device by
pressing the On button to power it down properly. Also, make sure you leave the ink
cartridges installed. Doing these actions will prevent ink leaking from the print head
assembly.
