Change the maintenance absorber
An alert appears on the printer front panel when the maintenance absorber is reaching its maximum
saturation and again when the absorber should be changed. A replacement is included in the HP
Designjet User Maintenance Kit, part number Q6715A.
CAUTION: The absorber can become excessively dry and fail to function correctly in climates where
the relative humidity is consistently below 25%.
CAUTION: A saturated or excessively dry maintenance absorber can cause severe damage to the
printheads and other parts of the printer. HP strongly recommends that you promptly change the
maintenance absorber when alerted.

1. Find the maintenance absorber and disposable plastic gloves that are included in the maintenance
kit.
2.
On the printer's front panel, select the
icon, then Replace ink absorber.
3. Open the printer window.
4. Identify the left spittoon.
