To use manual nesting:
1.Lift the media load lever.
2.Rewind the media.

Replace an ink cartridge
CAUTIONAlways use genuine HP ink cartridges. These have been designed for high-quality
imaging performance and reliable printer operation. Using non-HP inks may cause poor print
quality, printer malfunction, or printer failure. The hazard characteristics of different solvent
inks can vary widely. HP has not conducted product safety testing for non-HP inks with this
printer and is not responsible for any loss or damage that may result if non-HP inks are used.
HP ink cartridges must be installed before the “Install By” date printed on the cartridge. Use of
the ink cartridge 3 months beyond the “Install By” date may cause deterioration in print quality
or a printer malfunction.
NOTE
If an ink cartridge cannot be inserted, check that the color matches the slot. A mechanical key
prevents an ink cartridge from being inserted into the wrong slot.
Do not shake ink cartridges before inserting into the printer.
The front panel will advise you when you need to change an ink cartridge.
