5 Maintain and transport the printer
The printer requires very little maintenance. Follow the guidelines in this chapter to extend
the life span of the printer and printing supplies, and to ensure that your prints are always
of the highest quality.
For information on maintaining your camera, see the documentation that came with the
camera.
Replace the print cartridge
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different
ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the device and cartridges
for printing, and in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing
smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more
information see
www.hp.com/go/inkusage.
Use the HP 110 Tri-color Inkjet print cartridge to print black-and-white and color photos.
HP Vivera Inks deliver true-to-life photo quality and exceptional fade resistance, resulting
in vivid colors that last. HP Vivera Inks are specially formulated and scientifically tested
for quality, purity, and fade resistance.
For optimal printing results, HP recommends using only HP print cartridges. Inserting an
incorrect cartridge may invalidate the printer warranty.
CAUTION: Check that you are using the correct print cartridge. Also, note that HP
does not recommend modifying or refilling HP cartridges. Damage that results from
modifying or refilling HP cartridges is not covered by the HP warranty.
For best print quality, HP recommends that you install all retail print cartridges before the
date stamped on the box.
When the print cartridge is low on ink, the Print Cartridge light turns solid red.
To prepare the printer and cartridge
1. Make sure the power is on.
2. Load paper in the input tray so that the printer can print an alignment page when you
insert the new print cartridge.
3. Open the print cartridge door of the printer. The Print Cartridge light flashes red.
4. Remove the pink tape from the cartridge. Do not touch the copper-colored contacts
or the ink nozzles.
