HP Deskjet 2540 - Single-Cartridge Mode

Use single-cartridge mode
Use the single-cartridge mode to operate the HP Deskjet 2540 series with only one ink cartridge. The
single-cartridge mode is initiated when an ink cartridge is removed from the ink cartridge carriage.
During single-cartridge mode, the printer can copy documents, copy photos, and print jobs from the
computer.
NOTE: When the HP Deskjet 2540 series operates in single-cartridge mode, a message is
displayed on screen. If the message is displayed and two ink cartridges are installed in the printer,
verify that the protective piece of plastic tape has been removed from each ink cartridge. When the
plastic tape covers the ink cartridge contacts, the printer cannot detect that the ink cartridge is
installed.
