Before replacing cartridges

Two important points:

Cartridge types Your printer is designed to operate only with the four cartridge types whose part

numbers are listed on page 10–19.

Taking care Make sure you are aware of the cautions and warning below.

Touch only the plastic parts of the cartridge. Do not touch, wipe, or attempt

to clean the cartridge nozzles or contacts; this may clog and damage the

cartridge.

Each time you access the cartridges for loading or reseating, the nozzles are

exposed to the air. If the nozzles are exposed to the air (except during

printing) for more than a few minutes at a time, they are susceptible to

clogging and drying.

It is absolutely essential to load the cartridges with the printer switched ON,

otherwise you will get poor print quality and the reliability of your cartridges

will be impaired.

With the HP DesignJet 450C and 488CA printers, it is absolutely essential to

load the cartridges in the correct stalls, otherwise not only will your colors be

wrong, but also print quality may be impacted.

Don’t touch the plastic strip that runs the length of the printer behind the

cartridge carriage. Keep hair, jewelry, clothing, and foreign objects away

from the printer mechanisms. Keep new and used print cartridges out of the

reach of children.
