print cartridge information

This section contains a brief overview of supported print cartridges, and instructions on how to install or replace print cartridges. For more detailed print cartridge information, see the HP Photosmart Printer Help.

supported print cartridges

Your printer prints in color and in black and white. HP provides a range of print cartridges so that you can choose the best print cartridge for your project.

Your printer supports the following print cartridges. Installing a print cartridge that is not in this table may invalidate your printer warranty.

To print…	Use these print cartridges…
Color or black and white	HP #57 (C6657A)—Tri-color print cartridge
documents	and
	HP #56 (C6656A)—Black print cartridge
Color photos	HP #57 (C6657A)—Tri-color print cartridge
	and
	HP #58 (C6658A)—Photo print cartridge
Black and white photos	HP #57 (C6657A)—Tri-color print cartridge
	and
	HP #59 (C9359A)—Photo gray print cartridge
	(available Fall 2003)

When you install a print cartridge, match the number on the print cartridge to the number on the print cartridge latch. The printer holds two print cartridges at a time.

Caution! Check that you are using the correct print cartridges. Also, note that HP does not recommend modifying or refilling HP print cartridges. Damage that results from modifying or refilling HP print cartridges is not covered by HP’s warranty.

You can interchange the following print cartridges in the right print cartridge carrier depending on your printing needs:

• HP #56 (C6656A)—Black print cartridge

• HP #58 (C6658A)—Photo print cartridge

• HP #59 (C9359A)—Photo gray print cartridge (available Fall 2003)

chapter 4

install or replace the print cartridges

To get the best performance from your printer, use only genuine HP factory-filled print cartridges.

To get maximum use from your print cartridges, turn off the printer when it is not in use. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power source (such as a power strip) until the On/Attention light is off. This allows the printer to store the print cartridges properly.

To install or replace the print cartridges:

1. If the printer is off, press the ON button on the printer’s control panel to turn on the printer.

2. Load plain paper in the In tray so the printer can print a calibration page after you install the print cartridges.

3. Lift the top cover of the printer.

4. Push down on the print cartridge latch and pull it forward. The print cartridge latch pops open.

5. If you are replacing a print cartridge, slide out the old print cartridge and recycle or discard it.

Note: For information about recycling print cartridges, go to www.hp.com/ recycle.

6. Take the new print cartridge out of its package.

7. Grasp the pink tab and gently peel off the plastic tape. Make sure you remove only the plastic tape. Be sure to install the print cartridge immediately after removing the tape; ink nozzles exposed longer than one minute may dry out and cause printing problems later. Once the tape is removed, do not attempt to replace it.

Caution! Do not touch the ink nozzles or the copper contacts on the print cartridge. Touching these parts may cause the print cartridge to fail.

reference guide 23

chapter 4

8. Insert the print cartridge:

– Hold the print cartridge so the copper contacts go into the printer first. Line up the ridges on the left and right sides of the top of the print cartridge with the grooves on the inside of the print cartridge cradle.

– Carefully slide the print cartridge into the cradle, then firmly push the print cartridge in until it stops.

–  Push down on the print cartridge latch until it locks.

9. Close the top cover and press the OK button. The printer prints a calibration page.

Your printer and print cartridges are calibrated to give you optimal printing results. You can discard the calibration page.
