    appears on the front-panel display, the printhead may need to be reinserted.
    9.Close the window.
    10.The front-panel display confirms that all printheads are correctly inserted. The printer starts
    checking and preparing the printheads. The default routine process, when all printheads are
    changed, takes 25 minutes. If the printer finds problems in preparing the printheads, it takes
    longer, up to 65 minutes. For a single printhead insertion, the times vary between 20 and 40
    minutes. After all printheads are checked and prepared, the printhead realignment procedure
    runs automatically if paper is loaded, see 
    Align the printheads on page 164.

    							Check printer status
    You can check the current status of the printer in various ways:
    ●If you start the HP Utility, and select your printer, you see a page of information describing the
    status of the printer and its paper and ink supplies.

    printer. The Supplies page in the Main tab describes the status of the paper and ink supplies.
    ●The status screen of the printers front panel notifies you of any current problems affecting the
    printer as a whole. You can also request information about:

    ◦The ink levels, with the View ink levels key
    ◦
    The ink cartridges, by selecting the Ink menu icon 
     and then Ink cartridge information
    ◦
    The printheads, by selecting the Ink menu icon 
     and then Printhead information
    Clean the exterior of the printer

    normal operation with a damp sponge or a soft cloth and a mild household cleaner such as non-
    abrasive liquid soap.
    WARNING!To avoid an electric shock, make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged
    before you clean it. Do not let water get inside the printer.
    CAUTION:Do not use abrasive cleaners on the printer.
    Replace the cutter
    The cutter may need to be replaced once or twice during the life of the printer, depending on the total
    amount and thickness of paper used. The front panel advises when replacement is due. If you do not
    replace the cutter immediately, the printer continues working normally, but the front panel continues
    to remind you about the cutter.
    To replace the cutter:
    1.If there is paper loaded in the printer, unload it.
    2.
    At the front panel, select the Setup menu icon 
    , then Resets > Reset cutter life counter.
    3.After a brief pause, the printer turns itself off. The printhead carriage is parked on the right-hand
    side of the printer, and the cutter on the left-hand side.
    WARNING!There is a risk of electric shock if you attempt to replace the cutter with the printer
    turned on.

    Check printer status on page 116.
