Storing and transporting the printer and ink cartridges
Protect the printer and ink cartridges by storing them properly when you are not using
them.
Storing and transporting the printer
The printer is built to withstand long or short periods of inactivity. Store the printer
indoors out of direct sunlight in a place without temperature extremes.
Caution To prevent ink loss or spillage: do not transport or store the printer
on its side, and leave the ink cartridges installed while storing and transporting
the printer.
Storing and transporting the ink cartridges
When you transport or store the printer, always leave the active ink cartridge inside
the printer to prevent the ink from drying out.
Caution 1 To prevent ink loss or spillage: leave the ink cartridges installed
while storing and transporting the printer, and avoid leaving used ink cartridge
(s) out of the printer for extended lengths of time.
Caution 2 Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you
unplug the power cord. This allows the printer to store the print head properly.
Follow this tip to help maintain your HP ink cartridges and ensure consistent print
quality:
Keep all unused ink cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are needed.
Store ink cartridges at room temperature (15-35 °C or 59-95 °F).

For best results with photo paper, follow the guidelines in this section.
Storing photo paper
● Store the photo paper in its original packaging or in a resealable plastic bag.
