							7.Unscrew and remove the cutter stop using the TORX PLUS screwdriver provided with the new

							10.Slide the new cutter into position on the cutter rail.
The two wheels on the bottom of the cutter should engage the central ridge on the cutter rail, and
the two bushing guides should fit into the groove in the upper part of the cutter rail.
Check that the cutter runs smoothly up and down the rail. You can leave it anywhere on the rail;
the printer will park it correctly later.
11. Fit the cutter stop onto the end of the cutter rail, holding it there with one hand while you tighten
the screw with the screwdriver in your other hand.

							12.Put the left end cover back on the printer, aligning the protrusions with the holes in the printer.
13.Close the ink cartridge cover.
14.At the front panel, turn the printer back on. The printer checks that the cutter has been correctly
installed. Look at the front panel and follow its instructions if there is any problem.
Maintain the ink cartridges
During the normal lifetime of a cartridge, no specific maintenance is required. However, in order to
maintain the best print quality, replace a cartridge when it reaches its expiration date. The printers front
panel notifies you when any cartridge reaches its expiration date.
You can also check a cartridges expiration date at any time: see 
Check printer status on page 96.

Handling ink cartridges and printheads on page 83 .
Move or store the printer
If you need to move or store the printer, prepare it correctly to avoid possible damage to it. To prepare
the printer, follow the instructions below.
1. Do not remove the ink cartridges or printheads.
2. Make sure that no paper is loaded.
3. Make sure that the printer is idle.
4. Disconnect any cables connecting the printer to a network or a computer.

							If you need to leave the printer turned off for a long time, follow the additional steps below.
1.Turn off the power using the  Power key on the front panel.
2. Also turn off the power switch at the rear of the printer.
3. Disconnect the printers power cable.
4. Before transporting the printer, secure the rear tray in the closed position with tape. Otherwise, the
tray could open and perhaps break and fall out of the printer.
CAUTION: If you turn the printer upside down, ink could escape into the printer and cause serious
damage.
When the printer is turned back on, it takes about three minutes to initialize itself and to check and
prepare the printheads. Preparing the printheads normally takes just over a minute. However, if the
printer has been off for a six weeks or more, preparing the printheads could take up to 45 minutes.
CAUTION: If the printer remains off for a long period of time, the printheads may become unusable.
In this case, you need to replace the printheads with new ones.
TIP: Because preparing and purging the printheads uses both time and ink, you are strongly
recommended to leave the printer always on or in sleep mode, whenever possible, to maintain the health
of the printheads. In both cases, the printer wakes up from time to time to maintain the printheads. Thus
you can avoid going through lengthy preparation processes before using your printer.
Update the firmware
The printers various functions are controlled by software that resides in the printer, otherwise known
as firmware.
From time to time firmware updates will be available from Hewlett-Packard. These updates increase the
printers functionality and enhance its features.
Firmware updates can be downloaded from the Internet and installed in your printer in the following
ways; you can choose whichever you find most convenient.
● Using the HP Printer Utility under Windows, select your printer, the 
Support tab and then  Firmware
Update .
● Using the HP Printer Utility under Mac OS, select 
Firmware Update in the Support group.
● Using your printers Embedded Web Server, select the 
Main tab and then  Firmware update .
NOTE:If you are using an HP Jetdirect print server to connect to a network, the HP Printer Utility will
not be available, so you will need to use the Embedded Web Server.
In each case, follow the instructions on your screen to download the firmware file and store it on your
printer. Then select the downloaded file and click  Update.

WW Update the firmware 101Printer maintenance
 
						

							If you experience very slow progress while uploading the firmware file to the printer, the reason could
be that you are using a proxy server. In that case, try bypassing the proxy server and accessing the
Embedded Web Server directly.
●In Internet Explorer 6 for Windows, go to 
Tools > Internet Options  > Connections > LAN
Settings , and check the  Bypass proxy server for local addresses box. Alternatively, for more
precise control, click the  Advanced button and add the printers IP address to the list of exceptions,
for which the proxy server is not used.
● In Safari for Mac OS, go to 
Safari > Preferences  > Advanced and click the  Proxies: Change
Settings  button. Add the printers IP address or its domain name to the list of exceptions, for which
the proxy server is not used.
The firmware includes a set of the most commonly used paper profiles. Extra paper profiles can be
downloaded separately; see 
Paper profiles on page 41.
Update the software
To update the printer driver and other software for any HP Designjet printer, go to http://www.hp.com/
go/T620/drivers/ .
If your operating system is Windows, HP Software Update regularly offers to update your software
automatically.
Printer maintenance kits
Four maintenance kits are available for your printer, containing components that may need to be
replaced after long use. When one of them is needed, a message is displayed on the front panel and
by the HP Printer Utility.
When you see the message, you should contact HP Support (see 
Contact HP Support on page 156 )
and request the maintenance kit. Three of the kits are installed by service engineers only; the fourth
consists of a replacement cutter, which you can install yourself (see 
Replace the cutter on page 96 ).
Secure Disk Erase
The printers hard disk is used as a temporary storage area for print jobs. The Secure Disk Erase facility
can completely erase your information from the hard disk to protect it from unauthorized access. You
can choose to erase particular files, or the whole hard disk.
Secure Disk Erase provides three different levels of security:
● Non-Secure Fast Erase:
 all pointers to the information are erased. The information itself remains
on the hard disk until the disk space it occupies is needed for other purposes, and it is then
overwritten. While it remains on the disk, it is difficult for most people to access, but may be
accessed using software designed for the purpose. This is the normal method in which files are
erased on most computer systems; it is the fastest method but the least secure.
