To protect the printheads from drying out, always turn the printer off using the Power button, and wait

until the Power button light goes out.

Do not open or untape printheads until you are ready to install them, as this can lead to print quality

issues. Leaving tape on the printheads reduces ink evaporation.

Install both the black and color printheads correctly. See

Verify that the printheads are installed properly

.

After you have set up the printer, do not open the printhead cover unless instructed.

You can align the printheads to improve the print quality. See

Fix print quality issues

for more

information.

If you remove a printhead from the printer for any reason, try to replace it again as soon as possible. If

left unprotected outside the printer, the printhead may begin to dry out.

Ink tips

Make sure the ink tanks are not low on ink before printing. See

Check ink levels

.

Refill the ink tanks when they are low on ink. Printing with the ink tanks low on ink may cause damage to

your printer.

Do not tilt the printer.

NOTE:

Original HP printheads and ink are designed and tested with HP printers and papers to help you

easily produce great results, time after time.
