To ensure the best print quality from your HP All-in-One, you will need to perform
some simple maintenance procedures. This section provides guidelines for handling
the print cartridges and instructions for replacing, aligning, and cleaning the print
cartridges.

Handle the print cartridges

Before you replace or clean a print cartridge, you should know the part names and
how to handle the print cartridges.

Hold the print cartridges by their black plastic sides, with the label on top. Do not
touch the copper-colored contacts or the ink nozzles.
