Ink system storage
This procedure allows you to empty the ink system of ink and fills it with storage liquid that will preserve
the ink system if you do not intend to use the printer for a period of time (two to four weeks).
CAUTION Do not open or close the rear covers or change the position of levers while the ink
system storage process is being performed, or the operation may have to be restarted from the
beginning. This will result in waste of the storage liquid. If the ink system storage process has to
be restarted, new storage liquid cartridges will be needed (i.e. a new HP 790 Ink System Storage
Kit).
