HP recommends that you replace the empty cartridge with a new HP cartridge. See Order ink supplies on page 79, Remove an ink cartridge on page 60, and Insert an ink cartridge on page 62. The use of refilled or non-HP ink cartridges has several serious disadvantages: ● There is some risk of damaging the printer. In this case the printer warranty will not be valid for any printer repairs that are related to the cartridge, nor for any problems due to ink contamination. ● You will invalidate the warranty of all printheads of the same color used in the printer subsequently, unless and until the whole ink system (including ink tubes) is replaced. ● Print quality may be impaired. ● The printer will be unable to estimate the ink level in the cartridge, and will report it as empty. To force the printer to accept cartridges that it believes to be empty, follow these instructions: 1. Install the cartridge in the printer (see Insert an ink cartridge on page 62). 2. The front panel will complain that the cartridge is empty, and the cartridge removal process will start. Press the Cancel key to stop this automatic process. 3. At the front panel, select the icon. 4. Highlight Replace ink cartridges, but do not select it. 5. Press the Cancel key and the Up key at the same time, and hold them down for at least two seconds. 6. The front panel displays a series of warning messages. In response to each message, press the Cancel key to cancel the process, or the OK key to confirm that you wish to continue. When you have pressed OK in response to all warning messages, the front panel will give the usual ink cartridge status display, but the cartridge will be shown as empty with a warning sign. 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 ! is displayed by the Embedded Web Server. For optimal performance, use Original HP ink cartridges. HP DesignJet printing systems, including Original HP inks and printhead, are designed and engineered together to provide uncompromising print quality, consistency, performance, durability, and value-with every print. Printheads The printheads are connected to the ink cartridges. They use jet action to put ink on the paper. Each printhead has two ink-cartridge connection points and two sets of nozzles, which means that each printhead prints in two different colors. For example, the printhead below prints in magenta and yellow. 58 Chapter 5 Handle the ink system ENWW
