6. Connect the cartridge connector to the cartridge. NOTE: The cartridge connectors will refuse connection to the wrong type or color of cartridge. If you cannot connect the connector easily to the cartridge, check that you have the correct cartridge. 7. Ensure that the tabs on each side of the cartridge connector are opened but in place, showing successful connection. You will hear a click. 8. A few seconds after you have connected the cartridge, the green LED should be lit. If it is not lit after 10 seconds, reconnect the cartridge. The LED will turn red if the cartridge is expired or not valid; see the Internal Print Server for further details and corrective action. Although it is possible to use non-HP ink cartridges, this choice has several serious disadvantages. It may not be possible to determine with enough accuracy the ink level or status of used, refilled, or counterfeit ink cartridges. 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 25. 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). ● Green steady light: no problems ● Green slowly blinking light: cartridge in use, do not touch ● Orange blinking light: cartridge is empty 152 Chapter 6 Handle the ink system ENWW
