1. Make sure the HP All-in-One is on.
CAUTION: If the HP All-in-One is off when you open the print cartridge door to
access the print cartridges, the HP All-in-One will not release the cartridges for
changing. You might damage the HP All-in-One if the print cartridges are not
docked safely when you try to remove them.
2. Make sure you have letter or A4 unused plain white paper loaded in the input tray.
3. Open the print cartridge door.
The print carriage moves to the far right side of the HP All-in-One.
4. Wait until the print carriage is idle and silent, and then lightly press down on a print
cartridge to release it.
If you are replacing the tri-color print cartridge, remove the print cartridge from the

the slot on the right.

store the black print cartridge in the print cartridge protector or an airtight plastic

the black plastic, gently remove the plastic tape by using the pink pull tab.

CAUTION: Do not touch the copper-colored contacts or ink nozzles. Also, do
not re-tape the print cartridges. Doing so can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad
electrical connections.

the empty cartridge slot. Make sure you push the print cartridge in firmly until it snaps
into place.

3. Press down on the semi-circular tab located on the top of the cartridge to release the cartridge and then remove it.
