SECTION 6 – Maintenance
This section covers how to care for Ink Cartridges, clear paper jams, replace Sheet Separators, and perform
routine maintenance on Printer.

Inkjet Cartridge

Inkjet Cartridges must be replaced when out of ink, when print quality is poor, or when purging and
cleaning have not helped image quality. Approximate life of HP 45 Inkjet Cartridges, (based on three lines
of 20 characters at 10-point size per address):
NOTE: These figures can vary depending on font selected.
Replace Inkjet Cartridge:
1. Open Latch Lever to remove used Cartridge from Cartridge
Holder. Pull Cartridge up and out of Holder.
2. Remove new Inkjet Cartridge from packaging. Take care not
to touch copper contacts, metal plate, or gold printhead.
Remove protective tape from Printhead.
3. With Cartridge's Printhead pointing down, slide Cartridge into
Holder. Push down and toward contacts in Holder.
4. Make sure Cartridge is seated in Holder. Close Latch Lever to
secure Cartridge. DO NOT force Latch Lever into place.
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 above for remaining Cartridges.
NEVER SHAKE, DROP, OR HIT CARTRIDGE AGAINST PALM OF HAND OR ANY
OTHER HARD SURFACE. SHAKING PRINT CARTRIDGE DOES NOT "MIX" INK AND
HITTING CARTRIDGE AGAINST A HARD SURFACE DOES NOT CLEAR NOZZLES.
THESE ACTIONS HURT PRINT QUALITY BECAUSE THEY ALLOW BUBBLES TO
FORM NEAR INK FIRING CHAMBERS. THESE BUBBLES PREVENT NOZZLES
FROM FIRING, CAUSING WHITE STREAKS IN PRINT IMAGE.
