Travel tips
The following tips will help you prepare for traveling with your printer:
•
If you are bringing an extra black or photo print cartridge, follow these guidelines: For a partially used
black print cartridge, or a partially used or full photo print cartridge, store it in the travel holder to
prevent ink leakage. A newly opened black print cartridge will leak slightly at high altitudes (such as in
airplanes). To avoid this, wait to install new black cartridges until you reach your destination. Until then,
keep them in their original, taped packaging.
•
Turn off the printer using the power button. This ensures that the print cartridges return to the home
position at the left side of the printer and lock in place.
•
If you need to buy print cartridges while traveling to another country/region, see the online help called
"Traveling with your HP mobile printer", available through the Toolbox or HP Printer Utility, for regional
cartridge compatibility information.
•
Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the printer. Do not use any other voltage transformer or
converter. The power adapter can be used with AC power sources of 100 to 240 volts, 50 or 60 Hz.
•
Remove the battery if you will not be using the printer for more than a month.
•
When traveling with photo paper, pack it flat so it doesn't warp or curl. Photo paper should be flat
before printing. If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 10mm (3/8 inch), flatten the paper by
putting it in the resealable storage bag, then rolling the bag on a table edge until the paper is flat.
Printer buttons and lights
The printer lights indicate printer status and are useful for diagnosing printing problems. This chapter provides
a list of light status light combinations, what they indicate and how to solve the problem.
