HP Photosmart A520 Series - Manual (Page 41)

For best print quality, HP recommends that you install all retail print cartridges before the
date stamped on the box.
To insert or replace a print cartridge
1. Make sure the power is on and you have removed the cardboard from inside the
printer.
2. Open the print cartridge door of the printer.
3. Remove the bright pink tape from the cartridge.
NOTE: Do not touch the copper-colored contacts on the print cartridge.
4. If you are replacing a cartridge, push down and pull outward on the cartridge in the
cradle to remove it.
5. Hold the replacement cartridge with the label on top. Slide the cartridge at a slight
upward angle into the cradle so the copper-colored contacts go in first. Push the
cartridge until it snaps into place.
6. Close the print cartridge door.
The printer starts print cartridge alignment. See “Align the print cartridge”
on page 38 for more information.
Recycle the old cartridge. The HP Inkjet Supplies Recycling Program is available in
many countries/regions and lets you recycle used print cartridges free of charge. For
