Wiping print nozzles

If print quality does not improve after cleaning the print
nozzles (see page 25), you may need to wipe the print nozzles.
Refer to the “Troubleshooting: Print Quality” section of the
printer driver Help. For help accessing the printer driver Help,
see page 6.

Preserving print cartridges

To ensure the longest life from your print cartridge and
optimum performance from your printer:

Keep a new print cartridge in its packaging until you are ready

to install it.

Do not remove a print cartridge from the printer except to

replace, clean, or store it in an air-tight container. The print
cartridge does not print correctly if removed from the printer
and left exposed for an extended period of time.

If a print cartridge runs out of ink, leave the empty cartridge in

the printer until you are ready to replace it. Printing with only
one of the print cartridges in the printer may cause printer
problems.

Compaq’s printer warranty does not cover repair of failures or
damage caused by a refilled cartridge. Compaq does not
recommend use of refilled cartridges. Refilling cartridges can
affect print quality and cause damage to the printer. For best
results, use Compaq recommended supplies.
