6. The front-panel display confirms that all cartridges have been correctly inserted.
Refilled and non-HP ink cartridges
HP recommends that you replace an empty cartridge with a new HP cartridge.
The use of refilled or non-HP ink cartridges has several disadvantages.
●
If printer failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled ink cartridge, HP will
charge its standard time and materials charges to service the printer for the particular failure or
damage.
●
If failure or damage to printheads, ink cartridges, or other ink supplies is attributable to the use of
non-HP, expired or refilled ink cartridge, HP is not responsible for the cost of replacement.
●
Print quality may be impaired.
●
The printer will be unable to estimate the ink level in the cartridge, and will report it as empty.
If you decide to use refilled or non-HP ink cartridges, you will need to follow these instructions to make
the printer use a cartridge that it believes to be empty.
CAUTION: Running completely out of ink can damage the printheads. Damage attributable to
printing with empty ink cartridges is not covered under warranty. Forcing the printer to accept empty
cartridges will empty the ink delivery system as well. Once emptied, ink must be used to refill the system
and reprime the printhead when a new ink cartridge is installed.
1. Install the cartridge in the printer (see Replace an ink cartridge on page 23).
2. The front panel will complain that the cartridge is empty, and the cartridge removal process will
start. Press the Cancel key to stop this automatic process.
3.
At the front panel, select the
icon.
4. Highlight Replace ink cartridges, but do not select it.
5. Press the Cancel key and the Up key at the same time, and hold them down for at least two
seconds.
6. The front panel will display a series of warning messages. In response to each message, press the
Cancel key to cancel the process, or the Select key to confirm that you wish to continue.
When you have pressed Select in response to all warning messages, the front panel will give the usual
ink cartridge status display, but the refilled or non-HP cartridge will be shown as empty with a warning
sign.
