Work with print cartridges
To ensure the best print quality from the 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.
You might also need to check your print cartridges if the Check Print Cartridge light is
on. This might mean that the print cartridges are not installed properly or are missing,
the plastic tape has not been removed from the print cartridges, the print cartridges
are out of ink, or the print carriage is blocked.

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.
1 Copper-colored contacts
2 Plastic tape with pink pull tab (must be removed before installing)
3 Ink nozzles under tape
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.
Note Handle the print cartridges carefully. Dropping or jarring cartridges can
cause temporary printing problems, or even permanent damage.
