– High Quality Grayscale: Uses ink from both the color and black cartridges to produce a wider
range of black and grey tones for high quality black and white prints.
● To understand print quality settings:
The print quality is measured in print resolution dots per inch (dpi). Higher dpi produces clearer and
more detailed prints, but slows print speed and might use more ink.
– Draft: Lowest dpi typically used when ink levels are low or when high quality prints are not needed.
– Better: Suitable for most print jobs.
Best: Better dpi than Better.
–
– Max DPI Enabled: Highest dpi setting available for print quality.
● To understand page and layout settings:
– Orientation: Select Portrait for vertical prints or Landscape for horizontal prints.
– Print on Both Sides: Manually ip the pages after one side of the paper prints out so that you can
print on both sides of the paper.
○ Flip on Long Edge: Select it if you want to ip pages by the long edge of the paper when
printing on both sides of the paper.
○ Flip on Short Edge: Select it if you want to ip pages by the short edge of the paper when
printing on both sides of the paper.

Information on cartridges and the printhead
The following tips help maintain HP cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.
● The instructions in this guide are for replacing cartridges, and are not intended for rst time installation.
● Keep all cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.
● Be sure to turn o the printer properly.
● Store cartridges at room temperature (15-35° C or 59-95° F).
● Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.
● Handle cartridges carefully. Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during installation can cause temporary
printing problems.
● If you are transporting the printer, do the following to prevent ink leaking from the printer or other
damage from occurring to the printer:
● Make sure you turn o the printer by pressing (the Power button). Wait until all sounds of
internal motion stop before unplugging the printer.

To check the ink levels from the printer software (Windows)
1. Open the HP printer software.
2. In the printer software, click Estimated Levels.
To check the ink levels from HP Smart
▲ Open HP Smart on your mobile device. The estimated ink levels for your printer appear at the top of the

NOTE: Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When an indicator
shows low-ink levels, consider having a replacement ink cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays.
You do not need to replace ink cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
NOTE: If you have installed a relled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that has been used in
another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or unavailable.
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of dierent ways, including in the
initialization process, which prepares the printer and cartridges for printing, and in printhead servicing, which
keeps print nozzles clear and ink owing smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after
it is used. For more information, see www.hp.com/go/inkusage .
ENWW Check the estimated ink levels 57

HP Instant Ink
Your printer is eligible for the HP Instant Ink replacement service, which can reduce your printing costs and
save you time. After you enroll in the service, your printer automatically keeps track of your ink levels and
orders more ink for you when the ink is running low. HP ships the new cartridges straight to your door before
your ink runs out, so you'll always have ink on hand when you need it. Additionally, the cartridges that you
receive contain more ink than HP XL cartridges, so you'll need to replace cartridges less frequently. To learn
more about how HP Instant Ink can save you time and money, go to hpinstantink.com.
NOTE: HP Instant Ink service might not be available in all countries. To check availability, visit

Tips for working with cartridges
Use the following tips to work with cartridges:
● To protect the cartridges from drying out, always turn the printer o using the Power button.
● 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 of each cartridge to the color of the cartridge
latch. Make sure the cartridges snap into place.
● Align the printer for best print quality. See Printing issues on page 91 for more information.
● When the Estimated Cartridge Levels screen in the HP Smart app or the Estimated Levels screen in the
printer software 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 Replace the cartridges on page 60 for more information.
● If you remove a cartridge from the printer for any reason, try to replace it again as soon as possible. If a
cartridge is left unprotected outside the printer, its nozzles might dry out and clog up.
● Cartridges can be left in the printer for extended periods of time. However, to assure optimal cartridge
health, be sure to turn o the printer properly when the printer is not in use.
● Press (the Power button) to turn o the printer. Wait until the power light turns o before
unplugging the power cord or turning o a power strip.
CAUTION: If you incorrectly turn the printer o, the print carriage might not return to the correct
position, causing problems with the cartridges and print quality issues.
