printing errors that may have occurred, and the product model. This information helps HP to design future products to meet our customers' printing needs. The information collected by the memory chip does not include information that could be used to identify a customer or user of the cartridge or printer. HP collects a sample of the memory chips from ink cartridges returned to HP's free return and recycling program (HP Planet Partners: http://www.hp.com/recycle). The sampled memory chips are read and studied in order to improve future HP products. HP partners who assist in recycling ink cartridges may also have access to the information. Any third party possessing the cartridge may be able to access the anonymous information on the memory chip. If you are concerned about providing this anonymous information, you can tell the printer not to store the information in the memory chip. To do so, access the Embedded Web Server, and select Security > Security Settings, then in the Printer Settings section toggle to Anonymous usage information. This does not prevent the cartridge from working normally in other respects. However, if you change your mind later, you can restore the factory defaults to resume collecting printer usage information. Safe mode Under certain conditions, including printer operation outside of environmental specifications, and when a used, refilled, or counterfeit ink cartridge has been detected, the printer will operate in safe mode. HP is unable to warrant the performance of the printing system when operated outside of environmental specifications or when a used, refilled, or counterfeit ink cartridge is installed. Safe mode is designed to protect the printer and the printheads from damage due to unexpected conditions, and is in operation when the icon is displayed on the printer's front panel and by the Embedded Web Server and HP Utility. For optimal performance, use original HP ink cartridges. HP DesignJet printing systems, including original HP inks and printheads, are designed and engineered together to provide uncompromising print quality, consistency, performance, durability, and value-with every print. NOTE: This printer is not designed to use continuous ink systems. To resume printing, remove the continuous ink system and install genuine HP (or compatible) cartridges. NOTE: This printer is designed for ink cartridges to be used until they are empty. Refilling cartridges prior to depletion might cause your printer to fail. If this happens, insert a new cartridge (either genuine HP or compatible) to continue printing. NOTE: Dynamic security enabled printer. Only intended to be used with cartridges using an HP original chip. Cartridges using a non-HP chip may not work, and those that work today may not work in the future.

printing errors that may have occurred, and the product model. This information helps HP to design future

products to meet our customers' printing needs.

The information collected by the memory chip does not include information that could be used to identify a

customer or user of the cartridge or printer.

HP collects a sample of the memory chips from ink cartridges returned to HP's free return and recycling program

(HP Planet Partners:

http://www.hp.com/

recycle

). The sampled memory chips are read and studied in order to

improve future HP products.

HP partners who assist in recycling ink cartridges may also have access to the information. Any third party

possessing the cartridge may be able to access the anonymous information on the memory chip.

If you are concerned about providing this anonymous information, you can tell the printer not to store the

information in the memory chip. To do so, access the Embedded Web Server, and select

Security

Settings

, then in the

Printer Settings

section toggle to

Anonymous usage information

. This does not prevent the

cartridge from working normally in other respects. However, if you change your mind later, you can restore the

factory defaults to resume collecting printer usage information.

Safe mode

Under certain conditions, including printer operation outside of environmental

speciﬁcations,

and when a used,

reﬁlled,

or counterfeit ink cartridge has been detected, the printer will operate in safe mode. HP is unable to

warrant the performance of the printing system when operated outside of environmental

speciﬁcations

or when

a used,

reﬁlled,

or counterfeit ink cartridge is installed. Safe mode is designed to protect the printer and the

printheads from damage due to unexpected conditions, and is in operation when the icon is displayed on the

printer’s front panel and by the Embedded Web Server and HP Utility.

For optimal performance, use original HP ink cartridges. HP DesignJet printing systems, including original HP inks

and printheads, are designed and engineered together to provide uncompromising print quality, consistency,

performance, durability, and value—with every print.

NOTE:

This printer is not designed to use continuous ink systems. To resume printing, remove the continuous

ink system and install genuine HP (or compatible) cartridges.

NOTE:

This printer is designed for ink cartridges to be used until they are empty.

Reﬁlling

cartridges prior to

depletion might cause your printer to fail. If this happens, insert a new cartridge (either genuine HP or

compatible) to continue printing.

NOTE:

Dynamic security enabled printer. Only intended to be used with cartridges using an HP original chip.

Cartridges using a non-HP chip may not work, and those that work today may not work in the future. More at:
