SECTION 4 - Maintenance
This section covers how to care for Ink Cartridges, clear paper jams, replace Sheet Separators, and perform routine
maintenance on Printer.
Inkjet Cartridge (Printhead)
Inkjet Cartridges must be replaced when out of ink or when purging and cleaning have not helped the image
quality.
Approximate life of HP 45 style Inkjet cartridges, based on three lines of 20 characters at 10-point size per address,
is:
600 x 600 DPI 50,000 addresses
300 x 600 DPI 100,000 addresses
200 x 600 DPI 150,000 addresses
150 x 600 DPI 200,000 addresses
NOTE: The above figures can vary greatly, depending on font selected and size of “addresses”.
CAUTION
For continued protection against possible fire, use only authorized Ink Cartridges.
40mL max ink for each cartridge. Flashpoint shall be > 93.3C per Material Safety Data Sheet.
Ink in Cartridge may be
harmful if swallowed.
Keep new and used Cartridges
out of reach of children.
Discard empty Cartridges
immediately.
CAUTION
Never shake, drop or hit Cartridge against the palm of your hand or
any other hard surface. Shaking the Print Cartridge does not “mix” ink
and hitting Cartridge against a hard surface does not clear Nozzles.
These actions hurt print quality because they allow bubbles to form
near the ink firing chambers. These bubbles prevent the nozzles from
firing, causing white streaks in print image.
