Cartridge warranty information
The HP cartridge warranty is applicable when the cartridge is used in its designated HP printing
device. This warranty does not cover HP ink cartridges that have been refilled, remanufactured,
refurbished, misused, or tampered with.
During the warranty period the cartridge is covered as long as the HP ink is not depleted and the end
of warranty date has not been reached. The end of warranty date, in YYYY/MM format, may be found
on the cartridge as indicated:
For a copy of the HP Limited Warranty Statement for the printer, see the printed documentation that
came with the product.
ENWWCartridge warranty information53
Anonymous usage information storage
The HP cartridges used with this printer contain a memory chip that assists in the operation of the
printer. In addition, this memory chip stores a limited set of anonymous information about the usage
of the printer, which might include the following: the number of pages printed using the cartridge, the
page coverage, frequency of printing, and the printing modes used.
This information helps HP design future printers to meet our customers' printing needs. The data
collected from the cartridge memory chip does not contain information that can be used to identify a
customer or user of the cartridge or their printer.
HP collects a sampling of the memory chips from cartridges returned to HP's free return and recycling
program (HP Planet Partners:
and studied in order to improve future HP printers. HP partners who assist in recycling this cartridge
might have access to this data, as well.
Any third party possessing the cartridge might have access to the anonymous information on the
memory chip. If you prefer to not allow access to this information, you can render the chip inoperable.
However, after you render the memory chip inoperable, the cartridge cannot be used in an HP printer.
If you are concerned about providing this anonymous information, you can make this information
inaccessible by turning off the memory chip's ability to collect the printer's usage information.

Tips for working with cartridges
Use the following tips to work with cartridges:
To protect the cartridges from drying out, always turn the printer off using the On button, and
●
wait until the On button light goes out.
Do not open or untape cartridges until you are ready to install them. Leaving tape on the
●
cartridges reduces ink evaporation.
Insert the cartridges into the correct slots. Match the color and icon of each cartridge to the color
●
and icon for each slot. Make sure the cartridges snap into place.
Alignment is automatic after new cartridge installation. Alignment can also help later, in cases of
●
blurred or jagged lines. See
When the Estimated Ink Levels screen shows one or both cartridges in a low state, consider
●
getting replacement cartridges to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the
cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable. See
more information.
If you remove a cartridge from the printer for any reason, try to replace it again as soon as
●
possible. Outside of the printer, if unprotected, cartridges begin to dry out.
Fix print quality issues on page 77 for more information.

To clear an internal paper jam
CAUTION: Avoid pulling jammed paper from the front of the printer. Instead follow the steps below

b.Locate any jammed paper inside the printer, grasp it with both hands and pull it towards
you.
CAUTION: If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers, check the rollers
and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be remaining inside the printer.
If you do not remove all the pieces of paper from the printer, more paper jams are likely to
occur.
c.Reinsert the paper path cover until it snaps into place.
4.If the problem is not resolved, check the print carriage area inside the printer.
CAUTION: During the process, avoid touching the cable attached to the print carriage.
a.If there is any jammed paper, move the print carriage to the far right of the printer, grasp the
jammed paper with both hands, and then pull it towards you.
CAUTION: If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers, check the rollers
and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be remaining inside the printer.
If you do not remove all the pieces of paper from the printer, more paper jams are likely to
occur.
b.Move the carriage to the far left of the printer, and do the same as in the previous step to
remove any torn pieces of paper.
5.Close the ink cartridge access door.
6.If the problem is still not resolved, check the tray area.
a.Pull out the input tray to extend it.

Learn how to avoid paper jams
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
●
Make sure that you are printing with paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged.
●
Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag.
●
Do not use paper that is too thick or too thin for the printer.
●
Make sure that the trays are loaded correctly and are not too full. For more information, see
●
Load media on page 11.
Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
●
Do not combine different 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.
Adjust the paper-width guides in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the
●
paper-width guides do not bend the paper in the input tray.
Do not force paper too far inside the input tray.
●
If you are printing on both sides of a page, do not print highly saturated images on light weight
●
paper.
Use paper types that are recommended for the printer. For more information, see
●
on page 8.
If the printer is about to run out of paper, allow the printer to run out of paper first, and then add
●
paper. Do not load paper when the printer is printing.
