How to Manually Move Ink Cartridge in Hp Printer

  1. Make sure the printer is on.

  3. If the paper tray is open, close it by pressing the button on its front edge.
  4. Press and hold the button to eject the ink cartridge from its slot. Then slide it until it locks onto the spring-loaded guide rail. Be sure to lose this spring-loaded guide rail when manually moving the ink cartridge because of its small size (about 1 cm long). If you do this, you risk damaging this part of your HP printer.
  5. Open your HP printer and remove any other cartridges from their slots as well (see your manual for details). Keep all of these cartridges out of reach for safety reasons as they may be damaged if dropped during this process or accidentally dropped during transport or storage. Also, keep them away from children at all times to avoid accidents or injuries due to their curiosity and inability to follow directions properly (children are always curious about things that don’t belong to them). Always remember that there is no point in keeping these cartridges in a place where anyone can access them unless you want an accident to happen! Never store them inside your printer! If something needs to be fixed, use a special tool designed to remove cartridges from printers so you don’t damage the printer.

You can manually move your ink cartridges if you use HP printers that use HP printers that use separate ink cartridges.
