6. Maintenance

6.1. Replacing Ink Cartridges

When an ink cartridge runs low or is empty, replace it with a new HP 65 standard or XL cartridge. The printer uses dynamic security, which may be updated periodically by firmware updates.

Cartridges with modified or non-HP electronic circuitry may not function or may cease to function.

1. Ensure the printer is on.
2. Open the ink cartridge access door.
3. Wait for the print carriage to stop moving.
4. Gently press down on the old cartridge to release it, then pull it out.
5. Remove the new cartridge from its packaging and carefully remove the protective tape.
6. Insert the new cartridge into its corresponding slot (black on the right, tri-color on the left) until it clicks into place.
7. Close the ink cartridge access door.

• Scanner Glass: Clean the scanner glass with a soft cloth lightly dampened with glass cleaner. Avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the glass.
• Printhead Cleaning: If print quality issues arise (e.g., streaks, faded colors), use the printer software or the HP Smart app to perform a printhead cleaning cycle.
