8 Manage cartridges Manage and order print supplies. Dynamic Security Enabled Printers This printer is intended to work only with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip. A reused HP chip enables the use of reused, remanufactured, and refilled cartridges. The printer uses dynamic security measures to block cartridges using a non-HP chip. Periodic firmware updates delivered over the internet will maintain the effectiveness of the dynamic security measures and block cartridges that previously worked. Updates can improve, enhance, or extend the printer's functionality and features, protect against security threats, and serve other purposes, but these updates can also block cartridges using a non-HP chip from working in the printer, including cartridges that work today. Unless you are enrolled in certain HP programs such as Instant Ink or use other services that require automatic online firmware updates, most HP printers can be configured to receive updates either automatically or with a notification that allows you to choose whether to update or not. For more information on dynamic security and how to configure online firmware updates, please go to www.hp.com/learn/ds. Tips for handling cartridges and printhead The following tips help maintain HP cartridges and ensure consistent print quality. Visit hp.com/supplies for more information. ● Cartridges can be left in the printer for extended periods of time. However, to assure optimal cartridge health, be sure to turn off the printer properly when the printer is not in use. ● Make sure you leave the cartridges installed. ● Use Original HP cartridges If you have an HP+ printer, you must use Original HP cartridges. If non-Original HP or refilled cartridges are installed, the printer will not be able to print. ● Make sure you turn off the printer properly to avoid damage to the cartridges. ● Keep all cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed. ● Store cartridges at room temperature (15-35° C or 59-95° F). ● Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during installation can cause temporary printing problems. ● Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges. ● Some color ink is used even when printing with black cartridge only - Ink is used in a number of ways throughout the inkjet printing process. 76 Chapter 8 Manage cartridges
