The cleaning container is designed to keep the printer's waste ink from damaging the printer and dirtying its surroundings.

TIP: You are recommended to wear gloves when replacing the cleaning container. Always replace the cleaning container with the printer switched on, otherwise the counters may not work properly. If the printer continues operating while the container is incorrectly installed or connected, HP will not be responsible for any resulting damage or cleaning expenses.
