POSjet 1500 Operation

Using Ink Cartridges

®
The POSjet 1500 is available in single or dual cartridge configurations. Several physical differences exist between
the single and dual cartridge printers. The most obvious is the ability to install two ink cartridges in a dual cartridge
printer. The second and less obvious is the dual wiper in a dual cartridge printer. For the printer to operate
correctly, the firmware needs to know the number of installed ink cartridges, and the color of both cartridges.

It is not possible to configure the printer to operate with two black cartridges. If a second black cartridge is
installed, the printer will not maintain it, and the cartridge will dry out and become unusable. Do not store a spare
cartridge in the second position. Once the seal is broken, the cartridge will be exposed to the air, and should be
placed in an operational printer.

Care of Ink Cartridges

Ink cartridges should be stored in the sealed HP packaging. Once a print cartridge is unsealed, it should be placed in
an operating printer. If a printer is taken out of service, the print cartridge should be removed and discarded. Never
ship a printer by any means with a print cartridge installed. The pressure variations can cause the cartridge to
become unprimed and/or purge. If you are going to ship a printer, remove and discard the print cartridge or
cartridges.

Custom second colors, when available, should select the closest primary color.
