SETUP cartridges
When you first set up the printer, you must install the cartridges that shipped in the box with the printer. These
cartridges are labeled SETUP, and they calibrate your printer before the first print job. Failure to install the
SETUP cartridges during the initial product setup causes an error.
If you installed a set of regular cartridges, remove them and install the SETUP cartridges to complete printer
setup. After printer setup is complete, the printer can use regular cartridges.
WARNING!You must replace the orange caps on the regular cartridges you remove, or they will quickly dry
out. Some ink will still evaporate, but less than if the cartridges are uncapped. You can use the orange caps
from the SETUP cartridges if necessary.
If you still receive the error message, contact HP support for help.

Cartridge chip information
The HP cartridges used with this product contain a memory chip that assists in the operation of the product. In
addition, this memory chip collects a limited set of information about the usage of the product, which might
include the following: the date when the cartridge was first installed, the date when the cartridge was last used,
the number of pages printed using the cartridge, the page coverage, the printing modes used, any printing errors
that might have occurred, and the product model. This information helps HP design future products to meet our
customers printing needs.
The data collected from the cartridge memory chip does not contain information that can be used to identify a
customer or user of the cartridge or their product.
HP collects a sampling of the memory chips from cartridges returned to HPs free return and recycling program
(HP Planet Partners: www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/recycle/). The memory chips from this
sampling are read and studied in order to improve future HP products. HP partners who assist in recycling this
cartridge might have access to this data, as well.
Any third party possessing the cartridge might have access to the anonymous information on the memory chip. If
you prefer to not allow access to this information, you can render the chip inoperable. However, after you render
the memory chip inoperable, the cartridge cannot be used in an HP product.
If you are concerned about providing this anonymous information, you can make this information inaccessible by
turning off the memory chips ability to collect the products usage information.
To disable the usage information function

							Auto Power-Off
Auto Power-Off is automatically enabled by default when you turn on the printer. When Auto Power-Off is
enabled, the printer will automatically turn off after two hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use. Auto Power-
Off is automatically disabled when the printer establishes a wireless connection with a network router or with a
mobile device for Wireless Direct printing, or when you enable alarms or calendar reminders. You can change the
Auto Power-Off setting from the control panel. Once you change the setting , the printer will maintain the setting
