About cookies
The embedded Web server (EWS) places very small text files (cookies) on your hard drive when you are browsing. These files let the EWS recognize your computer the next time you visit. For example, if you have configured the EWS language, a cookie helps remember which language you have selected so that the next time you access the EWS, the pages are displayed in that language. Some cookies (such as the cookie that stores customer-specific preferences) are stored on the computer until you clear them manually.
You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, or you can configure it to alert you every time a cookie is offered, which allows you to decide which cookies to accept or refuse. You can also use your browser to remove unwanted cookies.
Depending on your printer, if you disable cookies, you also disable one or more of the following features:

Printer settings tips (Windows)
To print successfully, the HP cartridges should be functioning properly with sufficient ink, the paper should be loaded correctly, and the printer should have the appropriate settings.
Ink tips
● Use original HP cartridges.
● Install both the black and tri-color cartridges correctly.
For more information, see Replace cartridges on page 67 .
● Check the estimated ink levels in the cartridges to make sure there is sufficient ink.
For more information, see Check estimated ink levels on page 65 .
● If the print quality is not acceptable, see
Fix print quality issues on page 89 for more information.
NOTE: Original HP cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers and papers to help you easily produce great results, time after time.
HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP supplies. Product service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply will not be covered under warranty.
If you see a 'Non-HP Cartridge' message displayed from the printer software and you believe you purchased original HP cartridges, go to: www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit .
Paper loading tips
● Load a stack of paper (not just one page). All of the paper in the stack should be in the same size and type to avoid a paper jam.
● Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.
● Make sure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat, and the edges are not bent or torn.
● Adjust the paper-width guides in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guides do not bend the paper in the input tray.
For more information, see Load media on page 10 .
Printer settings tips (Windows)
● To change default print settings, open the HP printer software, click Print & Scan , and then click Set
Preferences. For information how to open the printer software, see
.
● To understand paper and paper tray settings:
ENWW Tips for print success 49
– Paper Size: Select the paper size you loaded in the input tray.
– Media: Select the paper type you are using.
● To understand color or black and white settings:
– Color: Uses ink from all cartridges for full color prints.
– Black & White or Black Ink Only: Uses the black ink only for normal or lower quality black and white prints.
– High Quality Grayscale: Uses ink from both the color and black cartridges to produce a wider range of black and grey tones for high quality black and white prints.
● To understand print quality settings:
The print quality is measured in print resolution dots per inch (dpi). Higher dpi produces clearer and more detailed prints, but slows print speed and might use more ink.
– Draft: Lowest dpi typically used when ink levels are low or when high quality prints are not needed.
– Better: Suitable for most print jobs.
– Best: Better dpi than Better.
– Max DPI Enabled: Highest dpi setting available for print quality.
● To understand page and layout settings:
– Orientation: Select Portrait for vertical prints or Landscape for horizontal prints.
– Print on Both Sides: Manually flip the pages after one side of the paper prints out so that you can print on both sides of the paper.
○ Flip on Long Edge: Select it if you want to flip pages by the long edge of the paper when printing on both sides of the paper.
○ Flip on Short Edge: Select it if you want to flip pages by the short edge of the paper when printing on both sides of the paper.
– Pages per Sheet: Helps you specify the order of the pages if you print the document with more than two pages per sheet.

Information on cartridges and the printhead
The following tips help maintain HP cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.
● The instructions in this guide are for replacing cartridges, and are not intended for first time installation.
● Keep all cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.
● Be sure to turn off the printer properly.
● Store cartridges at room temperature (15-35° C or 59-95° F).
● Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.
● Handle cartridges carefully. Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during installation can cause temporary printing problems.
● If you are transporting the printer, do the following to prevent ink leaking from the printer or other damage from occurring to the printer:
● Make sure you turn off the printer by pressing (the Power button). Wait until all sounds of internal motion stop before unplugging the printer.
● Make sure you leave the cartridges installed.
● The printer must be transported sitting flat; it should not be placed on its side, back, front, or top.
● If you have an HP+ printer, you must use Original HP cartridges. If non-Original HP or refilled cartridges are installed, the printer will not be able to print.
CAUTION: HP recommends that you replace any missing cartridges as soon as possible to avoid print quality issues and possible extra ink usage or damage to the ink system. Never turn off the printer when cartridges are missing.
64 Chapter 7 Manage cartridges ENWW
Check estimated ink levels
You can check the estimated ink levels from the printer software, printer control panel or HP Smart.
To check the ink levels from the printer control panel
● The Ink Level icons on the printer display show an estimate of ink remaining in the cartridges.
To check the ink levels from the HP printer software (Windows)
1.
Open the HP printer software. For more information, see
Open the HP printer software (Windows) on page 33
.
2.
In the printer software, click the Estimated Levels tab.
To check the ink levels from the HP Smart app
● Open HP Smart. Check the estimated ink levels at the right side of the printer image.
NOTE:
● If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or unavailable.
● Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a lowink warning message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not have to replace the cartridges until the print quality is unacceptable.
● Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the printer and cartridges for printing, and in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more information, see www.hp.com/go/inkusage .
ENWW Check estimated ink levels 65

Tips for working with cartridges
Use the following tips to work with cartridges:
● To protect the cartridges from drying out, always turn the printer off using the Power button.
● Do not open or untape cartridges until you are ready to install them. Leaving tape on the cartridges reduces ink evaporation.
● Insert the cartridges into the correct slots. Match the color of each cartridge to the color of the cartridge latch. Make sure the cartridges snap into place.
●
Align the printer for best print quality. See Printing issues on page 86 for more information.
● When the Estimated Cartridge Levels screen in the HP Smart app or the Estimated Levels screen in the printer software shows one or both cartridges in a low state, consider getting replacement cartridges to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable. See
for more information.
● If you remove a cartridge from the printer for any reason, try to replace it again as soon as possible. If a cartridge is left unprotected outside the printer, its nozzles might dry out and clog up.

Fix problems with HP+ printers not printing
If your HP+ printer does not print, verify that it is connected to the Internet and that you are using HP Original cartridges.
HP+ printers must be connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi or Ethernet to function. Your printer might be occasionally disconnected from the Internet (for example, due to power outage, network or router issues, or turning off the printer when not in use). You might be able to print a limited number of pages while the printer is disconnected, but it is critical to reconnect the printer to continue printing.
Also, make sure you have installed Original HP cartridges. Original HP cartridges are manufactured and sold by HP in official HP packaging. HP+ printers require Original HP cartridges. If non-Original HP or refilled cartridges are installed, HP+ printers will not operate as expected.
