Any service or repair required as a result is not covered under the warranty. System ink flushing, color calibration, and printhead alignment are recommended. If you experience print-quality problems, HP recommends changing to Original HP inks. Maintain the ink cartridges During the normal lifetime of a cartridge, no specific maintenance is required. However, in order to maintain the best print quality, replace a cartridge when it reaches its expiration date. An alert notifies you when any cartridge reaches its expiration date. You can also check a cartridge's expiration date at any time: see Printer status and alerts on page 22. Check the status of the ink cartridges The Internal Print Server provides information about the status of the ink cartridges. Additional information can be obtained from the status lights in front of each ink cartridge (on the left side). ● White steady light: no problems ● White slowly blinking light: cartridge in use, do not touch ● Orange blinking light: cartridge is empty ● Red steady light: there is a problem, check the Internal Print Server for more information ● All lights off: no cartridge, cartridge not connected, or unknown problem The level of ink remaining in each color is displayed at the top right of the Internal Print Server's main screen. You can see more details of ink cartridge and printhead status by selecting Information > Supplies. NOTE: The ink level estimates are not guaranteed to be accurate. NOTE: If the warranty status is See warranty note, this indicates that expired ink is being used. If the warranty status is Out of warranty, this indicates that non-HP ink is being used.
