print cartridges.

To get maximum use from your print cartridges, turn off the printer when it is not

in use. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power source (such as a power

strip) until the Printer Status light is off. Waiting to turn the printer off allows the

printer to store the print cartridges properly.

If the printer is off, press the ON button on the printer’s control panel to turn

on the printer.

Lift the main cover of the printer. The print cartridge cradle moves to the

middle of the printer.

A. Extent of Limited Warranty

Hewlett-Packard (HP) warrants to the end-user customer that the HP products specified above will be free from

defects in material and workmanship for the duration specified above, which duration begins on the date of

purchase by the customer.

For software products, HP's limited warranty applies only to a failure to execute programming instructions. HP

does not warrant that the operation of any product will be uninterrupted or error free.

HP's limited warranty covers only those defects which arise as a result of normal use of the product, and does

not cover any other problems, including those which arise as a result of:

•

Improper maintenance or modification;

Software, media, parts, or supplies not provided or supported by HP; or

Operation outside the product's specifications.

For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP ink cartridge or a refilled ink cartridge does not affect either the

warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer. However, if printer failure or damage is

attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled ink cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials

charges to service the printer for the particular failure or damage.

If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any product which is covered by HP's

warranty, HP shall either repair or replace the defective product, at HP's option.

If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective product which is covered by HP's warranty, HP

shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund the purchase price for the product.

HP shall have no obligation to repair, replace, or refund until the customer returns the defective product to HP.

Any replacement product may be either new or like-new, provided that it has functionality at least equal to that

of the product being replaced.

HP products may contain remanufactured parts, components, or materials equivalent to new in performance.

10 HP's limited warranty is valid in any country or region where the covered HP product is distributed by HP.

Contracts for additional warranty services, such as on-site service, are available from any authorized HP service

facility in countries or regions where the product is distributed by HP or by an authorized importer. For phone

support in Europe please check for the details and conditions of phone support in your country or region by

consulting the following Web site: www.hp.com/support. Alternatively, you can ask your dealer or call HP at the

phone number indicated in this booklet. As part of our constant efforts to improve our phone support service, we

advise you to check our Web site on a regular basis for new information regarding service features and

delivery.

B. Limitations of Warranty

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, NEITHER HP NOR ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS MAKE ANY OTHER

WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE HP

PRODUCTS, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY,

SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

C. Limitations of Liability

To the extent allowed by local law, the remedies provided in this Warranty Statement are the customer's sole

and exclusive remedies.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, EXCEPT FOR THE OBLIGATIONS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN

THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL HP OR ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR

DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON

CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WHETHER ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH

DAMAGES.

Grant the customer additional warranty rights, specify the duration of implied warranties which the
