Introduction
This document provides information about replacing print cartridges.
Replacing an ink cartridge
Follow these steps to replace and align the print cartridges.
Step one: Replace the old ink cartridge
Verify that the unit is on. The On
button is lit when the unit
is on. If the device is not on, press the button to turn on the unit.

| CAUTION:
|
If the unit is off when the print cartridge
door is opened to gain access to the print cartridges, the unit will not
release the cartridges for changing. Damage to the unit can result
if the print cartridges are not docked safely on the right side before removal. |
Open the print cartridge door.
The print carriage moves to the far right side of the unit.

Wait until the print carriage is idle and silent, and then lightly press down on a
print cartridge to release it.
When replacing the tri-color print cartridge, remove the print cartridge from the
slot on the left.
When replacing the black or photo print cartridge, remove the print cartridge
from the slot on the right.

If the print cartridge is being removed because it is low or out of ink, recycle the
print cartridge. The HP Inkjet Supplies Recycling Program is available in many
countries/regions, and using the program to recycle used print cartridges is free of charge.
Remove the new print cartridge from its packaging.
Remove the plastic tape by using the pink pull tab.
