Store the print cartridge
When you store the printer, always leave the active print cartridge inside the printer. The
printer stores the print cartridge in a protective cap during the power-down cycle.
CAUTION: Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you unplug
the power cord. This allows the printer to store the print cartridges properly.
Follow these tips to help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality:
• Keep all unused print cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are
needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15–35 degrees C or 59–95
degrees F).
• Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install
the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print
cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the print
cartridge.
