Replace the waste ink bottle
WARNING! The HP waste ink bottle has been specifically designed to contain waste ink from
the printer. It is designed to work with the printer’s waste ink quantity estimation system to alert
the user when the bottle is full. It provides safe handling and disposal of waste ink when sealed
with its attached cap.
Use only an HP waste ink bottle. The bottle must be installed according to instructions or waste
ink may overflow.
An HP waste ink bottle must always be installed before turning the printer on. Automatic and
manual service cycles produce waste ink that must be contained in an HP waste ink bottle.
WARNING! Use disposable latex or Nitrile (R) safety gloves to handle the HP waste ink bottle.
Always use both hands to remove and carry an HP waste ink bottle.
Keep the HP waste ink bottle upright. Do not place it on tables or shelves where it could fall.
Waste ink is combustible. Keep an HP waste ink bottle containing waste ink away from open
flames, sparks, or other sources of ignition.
Never store waste ink in a glass container.
Never pour waste ink into a container filled with other chemicals.
CAUTION Do not remove the cap from its tether to the HP waste ink bottle. The cap is needed
to seal the HP waste ink bottle properly for disposal.
The level in the HP waste ink bottle must be checked by visual inspection to prevent overflow. If
the waste ink level is above the indication line, the bottle must be replaced with an empty HP
waste ink bottle.
NOTE Place a sheet of paper under the HP waste ink bottle on the floor when removing a bottle
containing waste ink. This will help clean up any ink spills. If soaked with ink, treat the paper as
a combustible material and dispose of properly.
HP recommends that you always keep a spare empty HP waste ink bottle available. Some
maintenance procedures require installation of an empty HP waste ink bottle to prevent ink
overflow.
The HP waste ink bottle contains organic solvents and must be disposed of in compliance with
all local, state, and federal regulations. Always securely replace the cap on a full or partially-full
the HP waste ink bottle after removing it from the printer to prevent ink spills.
Ensure all operators are trained in the use of emergency equipment such as eye wash stations
and fire extinguishers and know where they are located.
NOTE Do not replace the waste ink bottle during printing.
The waste ink bottle must be checked on a daily basis to make sure that it is not full.
