print cartridge information
Your HP Photosmart 140 Series printer can print color and black and white
photos. HP provides two types of print cartridges so you can choose the best print
cartridge for your project. For the highest quality photos, follow these guidelines:
Caution! Please check that you are using the correct print cartridge. Also,
please note that HP does not recommend modifying or refilling HP print
cartridges. Damage that results from modifying or refilling HP print
cartridges is not covered by HP’s warranty.
install or replace the print cartridge
To get the best performance from your printer, use only genuine HP factory-filled
print cartridges.
Note: When you install a new print cartridge, the printer calibrates the print
cartridge and prints a calibration page.
To install or replace the print cartridge:
1 If the printer is off, press the O
N
button on the printer’s control panel to turn
on the printer.
2 Load an index card in the paper tray so the printer can print a calibration
page after you install the print cartridge. For information about loading
index cards, see load the paper on page 12.
3 Take the new print cartridge out of its package and pull the pink tab to
remove the clear plastic tape. Be sure to install the print cartridge
immediately after removing the tape; ink nozzles exposed longer than one
minute may dry out and cause printing problems later. Once the tape is
removed, do not attempt to replace it.
Caution! Do not touch the ink nozzles or the copper contacts on the print
cartridge. Touching these parts may cause the print cartridge to fail.
