Maintain the ink cartridges
During the normal lifetime of a cartridge, no specific maintenance is required. However, in order to
maintain the best print quality, you should replace a cartridge when it has reached its expiration date,
which is the date marked on the cartridge plus 6 months.
Move or store my printer
If you need to move your printer or store it for an extended period of time, you need to prepare it
properly to avoid possible damage to it. To prepare your printer, follow the instructions below.
1.
Do not remove the ink cartridges, printheads, or printhead cleaners.
2.
Make sure that no paper is loaded.
3.
Make sure that the printhead carriage is located in the service station (the right-hand end of the
printer).
4.
Make sure that the front panel displays Ready.
5.
Switch off the power using the Power key on the front panel.
6.
Also switch off the power switch at the rear of the printer.
7.
Disconnect the printer's power cable and any cables connecting the printer to a network, a
computer, or a scanner.
8.
If you have the HP Designjet 4500 stacker, disconnect and detach it.
NOTE We strongly recommend that you do not try to disassemble the HP Designjet 4500
roll module.
Update my printer's firmware
Your printer's various functions are controlled by software that resides in the printer, otherwise known
as firmware.
From time to time firmware updates will be available from Hewlett-Packard. These updates increase
your printer's functionality and enhance the features that your printer already possesses. Firmware
can be downloaded from the Internet and installed into your printer using the Embedded Web
Server's Firmware update page (found in the Settings tab).
If you are unable to use the Embedded Web Server because you do not have a TCP/IP connection
to your printer (for instance, when using USB or AppleTalk), you can obtain HP Designjet 4000
series firmware updates and installation software from these Web pages:
