So you need to replace a cartridge in your HP printer. Let's walk through the steps
together.
The first thing to do is turn the printer on, so press the Power button.
Next, raise the cartridge access door. The carriage moves into the access area.
Allow the carriage to stop moving. Then, find the cartridge you want to replace and press
the tab on the front of the cartridge to release it.
Lift the cartridge out to remove it from the slot.
Now, take the new cartridge out of its package.
Pull the orange plastic tab from the new cartridge to remove the plastic wrap. It is very important
that you use the orange pull tab to remove the plastic. This
will properly expose the vent slot in the top of the cartridge.
Twist the orange cap on the bottom of the cartridge counter clockwise to remove it.
Significant force might be required to remove the cap.
When handling the cartridges, be aware of the electrical contacts and ink port.
Be careful not to touch the contacts or port because touching these can cause clogs, ink
failure, and poor electrical connections.
Make sure that you install the replacement cartridge in its correct slot. Match the color
and symbol of the cartridge to the color and symbol on the carriage.
Holding the cartridge by its sides, slide it directly into the open slot. Push the cartridge
all the way in until it latches in place.
When the cartridge is in, close the cartridge access door.
The printer is now ready for regular use.
