Ink cartridges
The T7100 printer's six ink cartridges provide black, yellow, magenta, cyan, gray and dark gray ink to the
printheads. The T7100 Mono printer has two ink cartridges, black and dark gray.
Ink cartridges require no maintenance or cleaning. When each ink cartridge is shaken vigorously before
installation, and inserted correctly into its slot, the ink will flow to the printheads. Because the printheads
control the amount of ink that is transferred to the page, high-quality printing results continue even when
the ink levels are getting low.
CAUTION: Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry when handling ink cartridges because these elements
are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Such devices are called ESD-sensitive devices. See
Glossary
on page 195. Electrostatic discharges are one of the main hazards to electronics products. This type of
damage can reduce the life expectancy of the device.
Replace ink cartridges
To check the ink levels in the ink cartridges:
●
Press the
key repeatedly until you see the ink levels, or
●
Select the
icon, then Ink cartridge information.
The front panel warns you when cartridge ink level is low. When a cartridge is empty, the printer stops
printing and the front panel provides an explanation.
HP recommends that you replace the empty cartridge with a new HP cartridge. See Order ink supplies
on page 64, Remove an ink cartridge on page 45, and Insert an ink cartridge on page 47.
