Travel tips The following tips will help you prepare for traveling with your printer: • If you are bringing an extra black or photo print cartridge, follow these guidelines: For a partially used black print cartridge or a partially used or full photo print cartridge, store it in the travel holder to prevent ink leakage (see HP supplies and accessories). A newly opened black print cartridge will leak slightly at high altitudes (such as in airplanes). To avoid this, wait to install new black cartridges until you reach your destination. Until then, keep them in their original, taped packaging. • You can bring the printer in a carrying case. (See HP supplies and accessories.) The carrying case has compartments for both your notebook and the printer. The compartments also detach if you want to carry the notebook and printer separately. • Turn off the printer using (Power button). This ensures that the print cartridges return to the home position at the left side of the printer and lock in place. • Disconnect the printer cable and power adapter from the printer. Slide down the input tray extension and close the input tray. • If you are traveling to another country/region, bring the necessary plug adapter with you. • If you need to buy print cartridges while traveling to another country/region, see the online help called "Traveling with your HP Mobile Printer" for regional cartridge compatibility information. This help is available through the Toolbox (Windows), HP Printer Utility (Mac OS), or Toolbox software for PDAs (Pocket PC and Palm OS). • Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the printer. Do not use any other voltage transformer or converter. The power adapter can be used with AC power sources of 100 to 240 volts, 50 or 60 Hz. • Remove the battery if you will not be using the printer for more than a month. • When traveling with photo paper, pack it flat so it doesn't warp or curl. Photo paper should be flat before printing. If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 10 mm (3/8 inch), flatten the paper by putting it in the resealable storage bag, then rolling the bag on a table edge until the paper is flat. 14 Chapter 1 - Getting started

Travel tips
The following tips will help you prepare for traveling with your printer:
If you are bringing an extra black or photo print cartridge, follow these guidelines: For a partially used
black print cartridge or a partially used or full photo print cartridge, store it in the travel holder to
prevent ink leakage (see
HP supplies and accessories
). A newly opened black print cartridge will leak
slightly at high altitudes (such as in airplanes). To avoid this, wait to install new black cartridges until
you reach your destination. Until then, keep them in their original, taped packaging.
You can bring the printer in a carrying case. (See

.) The carrying case has
compartments for both your notebook and the printer. The compartments also detach if you want to
carry the notebook and printer separately.
Turn off the printer using
(Power button). This ensures that the print cartridges return to the home
position at the left side of the printer and lock in place.
Disconnect the printer cable and power adapter from the printer. Slide down the input tray extension
and close the input tray.
If you are traveling to another country/region, bring the necessary plug adapter with you.
If you need to buy print cartridges while traveling to another country/region, see the online help called
“Traveling with your HP Mobile Printer” for regional cartridge compatibility information. This help is
available through the Toolbox (Windows), HP Printer Utility (Mac OS), or Toolbox software for PDAs
(Pocket PC and Palm OS).
Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the printer. Do not use any other voltage transformer
or converter. The power adapter can be used with AC power sources of 100 to 240 volts, 50 or

Remove the battery if you will not be using the printer for more than a month.
