HP Smart Tank Printers - Refill the ink tanks

Fill empty or low ink tanks using official bottles of HP ink.

1. From the left side of the printer, lift the ink access door.

   

2. Open the tank covers.

   

3. Open the cap on the ink tank you want to fill.

   

4. Open the ink bottle.

   • If your ink bottles have twist-off caps, twist to remove the cap, and then set it aside.

     

   • If your ink bottles have a flip-top cap, twist the cap to remove it. Pull the seal tab to remove it, and then dispose of the seal. Replace and tighten the cap on the bottle, and then flip open the cap.

     

5. Match the color of the ink bottle with the color of the ink tank. Hold the bottle on the tank nozzle, making sure the tip of the bottle fits properly over the nozzle, and let the ink drain into the tank until the tank is full.

   If the bottle does not start draining, remove it, and then reinsert it onto the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle.

   

6. After the ink tank is filled, set the bottle upright, and then close or replace the ink bottle cap.

7. Close the ink tank cap.

   

8. Repeat the previous steps to fill other ink tanks.

9. Close the tank covers and ink access door, and then wait for 30 seconds.

   The printer completes ink purging and calibration.

   

10. Store bottles with leftover ink upright in a cool, dry place.
