How To Manually Move Ink Cartridge In Hp Printer
- Make sure that the printer is turned on.
- Remove the cartridge from the HP Printer and check if it’s not in its original position.
- If the paper tray is open, close it by pressing the button located at its front edge.
- Press and hold down the button to release the ink cartridge from its slot. Then, slide it back until it locks in place onto a spring-loaded guide rail. Make sure that you don’t lose this spring-loaded guide rail while moving the ink cartridge manually because of its small size (roughly 1 cm long). If you do so, then you might damage this part of your HP Printer.
- Open up your HP Printer and remove any other cartridges from their slots as well (check your manual for detailed information). Keep all these cartridges out of reach for safety reasons because they might get damaged if they fall down during this process or if they are dropped accidentally during transportation or storage. Also, keep them away from children at all times to prevent accidents or injuries due to their curiosity and inability to follow instructions properly (kids are always curious about things that are not theirs). Always remember that there’s no point in keeping these cartridges somewhere where anyone can get access to them unless you want an accident to happen! Never store them inside your printer!
