Startup routine ink alert
The cartridges listed might not have enough ink to complete one-time startup processes.
Use of installed cartridges may result in air left in the print system after one time startup routine,
which causes poor print quality. Significant amounts of ink will be used to try to recover from this
situation.
If you received cartridges with your replacement printer or printhead, use them for startup. Install
new cartridges or click OK to use currently installed cartridges.
Problem with ink system
Please remove the ink cartridges and examine them for any sign of leaks. If any cartridges have
leaks, contact HP. Do not use cartridges that are leaking.
If there are no leaks, re-install cartridges and close the printer cover. Turn the printer off then on
again. If you get this message a second time, contact HP.
