Get to know the ink tank system

Term Denition
Printheads The printheads are the components in the print mechanism that apply ink to the paper. There are two
printheads: a black ink printhead and a tri-color ink printhead.
CAUTION: After the printheads are installed and primed with ink, do not open the printhead latch unless
you are installing new printheads or moving the printer outside your home or oice.
Printhead latch The printhead latch on the carriage secures the printheads in the carriage. Make sure the printhead latch is
properly closed to avoid problems such as carriage jams.
CAUTION: After the printheads are installed and primed with ink, do not open the printhead latch unless
you are installing new printheads or moving the printer outside your home or oice.
Ink tanks Ink tanks are external ink reservoirs located at the right side of the printer. There are four ink tanks. Each
ink tank corresponds to an individual color: black, cyan, magenta, and yellow.
Ink tank caps Ink tank caps are rubber plugs that seal each ink tank.
Priming Priming is the process of lling the ink supply tubes that run between the ink tanks and the printheads.
This process occurs when you install new printheads and start the priming process from the control panel. For more information about priming, see Printhead priming and alignment icons on page 12.
Alignment Alignment is a process of aligning the printheads to improve print quality. For more information about
alignment, see Printhead priming and alignment icons on page 12.

Printhead and ink tips

Paper loading tips

Printer settings tips
To print successfully, the HP printheads should be functioning properly, the ink tanks should be lled with suicient ink, the paper should be loaded correctly, and the printer should have the appropriate settings.
Print settings do not apply to copying or scanning.
Printhead and ink tips
Use original HP printheads.
Install both the black and tri-color printheads correctly.
For more information, see Fix printhead problems on page 89.
Check the ink levels on the ink tanks to make sure there is suicient ink.
For more information, see Ink levels on page 59.
If the print quality is not acceptable, see Printing issues on page 95 for more information.
NOTE: Original HP printheads and ink are designed and tested with HP printers and papers to help you easily
produce great results, time after time.
HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP supplies. Product service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply will not be covered under warranty.
Paper loading tips
Load a stack of paper (not just one page). All of the paper in the stack should be in the same size and type to avoid a paper jam.
Load the paper with side to be printed on facing up.
Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays at, and the edges are not bent or torn.
Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to t snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.

58 Chapter 6 Manage ink and printhead ENWW

Ink levels

Use the ink level lines on the ink tanks to determine when to ll the tanks and how much ink should be added.
1 Maximum line: The actual ink level should not be higher than the maximum line.
2 Minimum line: The actual ink level should not be lower than the minimum line.
Match the color of the ink bottle to the color on the tank when you ll the tanks, and seal the rubber ink tank caps properly after that.
The ink level in each tank will be a little bit below the maximum ll line when you rst ll the tanks.
If you notice any ink level reaches the minimum line during daily printing, rell that tank with correct ink. Printing with ink level below the minimum line may cause damage to your printer.
When you rell the ink tanks, ll the ink to the maximum lines only. Any ink level above the maximum line may cause ink leakage.
NOTE: Product service or repairs required as a result of lling the ink tanks improperly and/or using non-HP
ink will not be covered under warranty.
ENWW Ink levels 59
Rell ink tanks
To rell the ink tanks
1. Lift the ink tank lid.
2. Remove the cap of the ink tank you plan to rell.
3. Twist to remove the cap of the ink bottle, remove the seal from the bottle, install the cap back onto the
bottle, and then pull open the top part of the cap.
60 Chapter 6 Manage ink and printhead ENWW
4. Hold the ink bottle on tank nozzle and rell the ink tank to the maximum line only. If ink doesn't drain
immediately, remove and reinsert bottle on tank.
CAUTION: You should not squeeze the ink bottle during this process.
NOTE: Some ink will remain in the bottle after lling the tank to the maximum level line. Store the
bottle in an upright position in a cool and dry location.
5. Close the ink tank cap securely.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 to rell other ink tanks.
7. Close the ink tank lid.
Precautions for working with ink bottles
Use the following tips to work with ink bottles:
Keep the ink bottles beyond the reach of children.
Open the ink bottle only when you plan to ll the ink tanks.
ENWW Rell ink tanks 61
Do not tilt, shake, or squeeze the ink bottle when it is open to prevent ink leaks.
Store the ink bottles in a cool, dark place.
62 Chapter 6 Manage ink and printhead ENWW

Order ink supplies

Before ordering ink bottles, visually check the labels on the ink bottles to locate the ink bottle numbers.
To order original HP supplies for the printer, go to www.hp.com/buy/supplies . If prompted, choose your country/region, and then follow the prompts to nd the right ink bottles for your printer.

Tips for working with ink and printhead

Printhead tips
Use the following tips to work with printheads:
To protect the printheads from drying out, always turn the printer o using the Power button, and wait until the Power button light goes out.
Do not open or untape printheads until you are ready to install them. Leaving tape on the printheads reduces ink evaporation.
Insert the new printheads into the correct slots. Match the color and icon of each printhead to the color and icon for each slot. Make sure the printheads snap into place, and then close the printhead latch. After new printheads are installed and primed with ink, do not open the printhead latch unless installing new printheads or moving the printer outside your home or oice.
Align the printer for best print quality. See Printing issues on page 95 for more information.
If you remove a printhead from the printer for any reason, try to replace it again as soon as possible. Outside of the printer, if unprotected, the printhead may begin to dry out.
Ink tips
Use the following tips to work with ink:
Make sure the ink tanks are lled with ink and the ink levels are above the minimum line before printing.
Rell the ink tanks when the ink level reaches the minimum line. Printing with the ink level below the minimum line may cause damage to your printer.
Do not make the ink level be above the maximum line by overlling the ink tanks or tilting the printer. The ink level higher than the maximum line can cause ink leaks and ink mixing.

Tips for setting up and using a networked printer

Use the following tips to set up and use a networked printer:
When setting up the wireless networked printer, make sure your wireless router or access point is powered on. The printer searches for wireless routers, then lists the detected network names on the computer.
If your computer is connected to a Virtual Private Network (VPN), you need to disconnect from the VPN before you can access any other device on your network, including the printer.

To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
Do not overll the input tray, but make sure that you have at least 5 pages loaded, for best results.
Keep your printer free of dust and debris by removing paper and closing the input tray when not in use.
Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays at, and the edges are not bent or torn.
Do not combine dierent paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
Use HP paper for optimum performance. See Paper basics on page 24 for more information about HP paper.
Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to t snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
Do not force paper too far down in the input tray.
Do not add paper while the printer is printing. If the printer is about to run out of paper, wait until the out of paper message appears before adding paper.
