About the ink cartridges Ink cartridges store the ink and are connected to the printheads, which distribute the ink on the paper. To purchase additional cartridges, see Accessories on page 140. CAUTION: Observe precautions when handling ink cartridges because they are ESD-sensitive devices (see the Glossary on page 199). Avoid touching pins, leads and circuitry. 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: http://www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies. NOTE: This printer is not designed to use continuous ink systems. To resume printing, remove any continuous ink system and install genuine HP (or compatible) ink 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. Check the ink cartridges status There are several ways of checking the status of the ink cartridges: ● On the front panel's All Apps page, swipe left with your finger. You will see the widget page with the status of ink and paper supplies. You can tap a particular ink cartridge for more information on it. ● Tap on the front panel, then tap the cartridge on which you want information. There is a Replace ink cartridges option on the ink information page in case you want to do that (see also Remove an ink cartridge on page 125). ● You can also get this information from the HP DesignJet Utility. For an explanation of the ink cartridge status messages, see Ink cartridge status messages on page 179. HP DesignJet Utility procedures ● In the HP DesignJet Utility for Windows, select the Overview tab, then the Supplies tab, then Cartridges. ● In the HP Utility for macOS, select Supplies Status in the Information group. Remove an ink cartridge There are two occasions when you need to remove an ink cartridge. ● The ink cartridge is very low and you want to replace it with a full cartridge for unattended printing (you can use up the remaining ink in the first cartridge at a more convenient time). ● The ink cartridge is empty or faulty, and you must replace it to continue printing. CAUTION: Do not try to remove an ink cartridge while printing. CAUTION: Remove an ink cartridge only if you are ready to insert another one. CAUTION: Make sure the printer wheels are locked (the brake lever is pressed down) to prevent the printer from moving. ENWW About the ink cartridges 125
