HP Photosmart C5580 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 101)

Handle the print cartridges
Before you replace or clean a print cartridge, you should know the part names and how
to handle the print cartridges.
1 Copper-colored contacts
2 Plastic tape with pink pull tab (must be removed before installing)
3 Ink nozzles under tape
Hold the print cartridges by their black plastic sides, with the label on top. Do not touch
the copper-colored contacts or the ink nozzles.
NOTE: Handle the print cartridges carefully. Dropping or jarring cartridges can cause
temporary printing problems, or even permanent damage.
Check the estimated ink levels
You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need to
replace an print cartridge. The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink
remaining in the print cartridges.
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.
NOTE: Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes
only. When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a replacement
cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays.
