Step four: Install the cartridges
Choose one of the following options for installing the cartridges in the new printhead.
note:When you install a new printhead, HP recommends that you use new cartridges. You can reuse your existing cartridges, but if they are low on ink, the calibration of the new printhead could result in a low ink condition. It is best to have new cartridges on hand when replacing the printhead.
Step five: Return the failed parts to HP
HP will analyze the failed parts to improve its products in the future. If the new printhead assembly came with a prepaid mailing label and return instructions, follow these steps to return the failed parts to HP.
note:HP does not always ask that customers return all failed parts, so you might not have a prepaid mailing label and return instructions. You can ignore these steps if you did not receive the return documents.
