When you want to print regular text documents, swap the black print cartridge back in.
Use a print cartridge protector or an airtight plastic container to keep your print cartridge
secure when it is not being used.
NOTE: If a photo print cartridge is also installed, the print quality is enhanced. A
photo print cartridge can be purchased separately if it is not included with the HP All-
in-One. Photo print cartridges are not supported on all models of the product.

Print cartridge storage and handling
Follow these guidelines to help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print
quality:

container to prevent the ink from drying out. If you are storing a photo print cartridge,

the print cartridge in the device. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print

unplug the power cord or turn off a power strip. This allows the device to store the
print cartridges properly. When you store the HP All-in-One, always leave the active
print cartridges inside the device.
