Handling precautions
These precautions are recommended to avoid damage to your printer and its components.
Power supply
● Use the power supply voltage specified on the nameplate.
● Check the printer electrical outlet for proper polarity and grounding before connecting printer. Failure
to do so may result in fire and electric shock hazards.
● Be sure the printer is well-grounded. Failure to ground the printer may result in electrical shock, fire,
and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.
● Avoid overloading the printer’s electrical outlet with multiple devices.
● Use only the electrical cable supplied by HP with the printer.
Printer
● Wipe the printer clean with a soft cloth. A cloth moistened with a neutral detergent may be used. Do
not allow liquid to enter the printer. This may create risk of fire and electrical shock and cause a
malfunction. Do not clean the printer with benzene or paint thinner. This may damage the paint.
● Never touch the printhead nozzles. They can be easily damaged or clogged.
Regular inspection and maintenance
● Make sure you observe the appropriate maintenance guideline. See How do I maintain the printer .
● Clean the capping unit every day.
● Never switch off the printer without following the correct procedures. Even with the storage liquid
installed, never leave the printer off for more than 4 weeks. Leaving your printer off for more than 4
weeks can cause permanent damage that cannot be repaired. In all other cases make sure you
observe the appropriate maintenance guidelines.
Consumables
● Ink inside the ink cartridge is combustible. Do not expose or store near open flames, sparks, or other
sources of ignition.
● HP Ink Cartridges should be installed before the “Install By” date printed on the cartridge. Use of the
Ink Cartridge 3 months beyond the “Install By” date may cause deterioration in print quality or a printer
malfunction.
● Do not disassemble the ink cartridges. Ink cartridges are intended for single use only.
● Avoid contact between ink and skin, eyes, and clothing.
● Immediately wash skin with soapy water.
● Remove clothing soaked with ink from contact with skin.
● Use an approved eye wash station if ink is splashed into eyes and consult a doctor if necessary.
If an approved eye wash station is unavailable, flush eyes with cold water and consult a doctor
if necessary.
