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.

NOTICE: After you have set up the printer, do not open the printhead latch unless instructed to do so.

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.

NOTICE: After you have set up the printer, do not open the printhead latch unless instructed to do so.

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. It is

required to complete the priming process during printer setup.

Alignment Alignment is a process of aligning the printheads to improve print quality. For more information about

alignment, see "To align the printheads" from Printing issues on page 55.

– High Quality Grayscale: Uses ink from both the color and black cartridges to produce a wider range

of black and gray 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.

– Normal: Suitable for most print jobs.

– Best: Better dpi than Normal.

– Print in Max DPI: Highest dpi setting available for print quality.

– HP Real Life Technologies: This feature smooths and sharpens images and graphics for improved

print quality.

● To understand page and layout settings:

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.
