Storing photo paper

Store the photo paper in its original packaging or in a resealable plastic bag.

Store the packaged photo paper on a flat, cool, and dry surface.

Return unused photo paper to the plastic bag. Paper left in the printer or exposed
to the elements may curl.

Handling photo paper

Always hold photo paper by the edges to avoid fingerprints.

If the photo paper has curled edges, place it in its plastic storage bag and gently
bend it in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat.

Storing the print cartridges

When you store the printer, always leave the active print cartridges inside the printer.
The printer stores the print cartridges in a protective cap during the power-down cycle.

Caution

Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you

unplug the power cord. This allows the printer to store the print cartridges
properly.

Follow these tips to help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print
quality:

When you remove a print cartridge from the printer, store it in a print cartridge
protector to prevent the ink from drying out. For more information, see

print cartridges

.

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 printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from
the print cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages
the print cartridge.
