print cartridge information
For best results, use HP print cartridges. Refilled print cartridges might damage
your HP Fax. The following tips help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure
consistent print quality:
•
Keep all print cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are
needed.
• Store cartridges at room temperature (60–78° F or 15.6–25.6° C).
• Do not reattach the protective tape once it has been removed from the
print cartridge. Reattaching the tape might damage the print cartridge.
Place the print cartridge immediately in the HP Fax. If this is not possible,
store it in a print cartridge protector or an airtight, plastic container. When
storing the cartridges in an air tight container, be careful to place them so
that the ink nozzles do not touch the sides of the container.
