System requirements
Print cartridges
Please note
Your PaperJet 55E/65E uses a black or
colour ink cartridge. Only one cartridge can
be installed at a time.
Faxes you receive will only be printed when
the black ink cartridge is installed.
Faxes will be stored in the memory if the
colour cartridge is installed.
If the memory becomes full, your machine
will not receive any more until you have
printed some of the faxes, so it is good
practice to keep the black ink cartridge
in the machine for all normal use.

User Guide
The print software can detect if a document
contains colour and, if you have the wrong
cartridge installed, the PC asks you to change it.
Whenever a colour cartridge is installed, your
PaperJet 55E/65E display shows COLOUR
CARTRIDGE.
To print, select Print from the File menu and
click OK. Follow the on screen instructions.
To give the most economical use, your
PaperJet 55E/65E will only print received
faxes when the black cartridge is installed.
If the colour cartridge is installed faxes will be
stored in the memory.
If the memory becomes full, your machine will
not receive any more until you have printed
some of the faxes, so it is good practice to
keep the black ink cartridge in the machine
for all normal use.
To print faxes from the memory, see page 19
of the main PaperJet 55E/65E User Guide.
