Color Kit Information

Color Kit

The optional Color Kit which includes a color print cartridge and a print cartridge storage container, provides color output printing capability from an HP DeskWriter 540 printer. The printer comes from the factory as color capable, it does not require any modifications. Color features, however, need to be turned on in the HP DeskWriter printer driver. For more information, see the “HP DeskWriter 540 Printer User’s Documentation” or the documentation included with the color kit, see “Supplies and Accessories.”

Notes The print cartridge storage container will hold one black or one color print cartridge. To obtain maximum print quality and print cartridge life, always store the open print cartridge that is not in the printer in the print cartridge storage container.

When printing a color page with the color print cartridge, you cannot print true black. The printer will print composite black, made up of cyan, magenta, and yellow inks.
