Use of relled or altered cartridges
HP recommends that you replace the empty cartridge with a new HP cartridge. See Accessories on page 124,
Remove an ink cartridge on page 109, and Insert an ink cartridge on page 110.
The use of relled or altered ink cartridges has several serious disadvantages:
● There is some risk of damaging the printer. In this case the printer warranty will not be valid for any printer
repairs that are related to the cartridge, nor for any problems due to ink contamination.
● You will invalidate the warranty of all printheads of the same color used in the printer subsequently.
● Print quality may be impaired.
● The printer will be unable to estimate the ink level in the cartridge, and will not report it.
