print cartridge information
Your HP Photosmart 240 Series printer can print color and black and white
photos. HP provides two types of print cartridges so you can choose the best print
cartridge for your project.
For the highest quality photos, follow these guidelines:
Caution! Check that you are using the correct print cartridge. Also, note that
HP does not recommend modifying or refilling HP print cartridges. Damage
that results from modifying or refilling HP print cartridges is not covered by
HP’s warranty.
install or replace the print cartridge
To get the best performance from your printer, use only genuine HP factory-filled
print cartridges.
Note: When you install a new print cartridge, the printer calibrates the print
cartridge and prints a calibration page.
To install or replace the print cartridge:
1 If the printer is off, press the ON button on the printer’s control panel to turn
on the printer.
2 Load an index card in the paper tray so the printer can print a calibration
page after you install the print cartridge. For information about loading
index cards, see load the paper on page 8.
3 Take the new print cartridge out of its
package and pull the pink tab to
remove the clear plastic tape. Be sure
to install the print cartridge
immediately after removing the tape;
ink nozzles exposed longer than one
minute may dry out and cause
printing problems later. Once the
tape is removed, do not attempt to
replace it.
Caution! Do not touch the ink
nozzles or the copper contacts on the
print cartridge. Touching these parts
may cause the print cartridge to fail.
