Storing the printer and print cartridges
Protect the printer and print cartridges by storing them properly when you are not using
them.
Storing the printer
You can store the printer by following these steps:
1.
Turn off the printer.
2. Remove all paper from the paper trays.
3. If the output tray extension is pulled out, push it in.
4. Close the CD/DVD tray.
The printer is designed to withstand long or short periods of inactivity.
●
Store the printer indoors out of direct sunlight in a place without temperature
extremes.
● If the printer and print cartridges have not been used for one month or more, use
the software that came with the printer to run the automatic cartridge cleaning
procedure before printing. For more information, see the HP Photosmart Printer
Help.
Storing the print cartridges
When you store the printer, always leave the active print cartridges inside the printer.
The printer stores the print cartridges in a protective cap during the power-down cycle.
Caution Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you
unplug the power cord. This allows the printer to store the print cartridges
properly.
Follow these tips to help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality:
●
Keep all unused print cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are
needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15–35 degrees C or 59–95
degrees F).
● Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install
the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print
cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the print
cartridge.
