Store the printer and print cartridge Protect the printer and print cartridge by storing them properly when you are not using them. Store the printer The printer is built to withstand long or short periods of inactivity. Close the input and output trays when the printer is not in use. Store the printer indoors out of direct sunlight in a place without temperature extremes. If you are storing the printer for a long period of time and the optional HP Photosmart Internal Battery is installed, remove the battery from the printer. If the printer and print cartridge have not been used for one month or more, clean the print cartridge before printing. For more information, see page 31. Store the print cartridge When you store or transport the printer, always leave the active print cartridge inside the printer. The printer stores the print cartridge in a protective cap during the powerdown cycle. 38 HP Photosmart A310 series Caution Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you unplug the power cord or remove the internal battery. This allows the printer to store the print cartridge properly. Follow these tips to help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality: Keep all unused print cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15­35° C or 59­95° F). Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the print cartridge. Maintain the quality of photo paper For best results with photo paper, follow the guidelines in this section. To store photo paper Store the photo paper in its original packaging or in a resealable plastic bag. Store the packaged photo paper on a flat, cool, and dry surface. Return unused photo paper to the plastic bag. Paper left in the printer or exposed to the elements may curl. To handle photo paper Always hold photo paper by the edges to avoid fingerprints. Maintain and transport the printer 39 If the photo paper has curled edges, place it in its plastic storage bag and gently bend it in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat. Transport the printer It is easy to transport and set up the HP Photosmart A310 series printer almost anywhere. Take it with you on vacations and to family gatherings and social events to instantly print and share photos with family and friends. To make it even easier to print on the go, you can purchase these accessories from the HP Web site or your HP dealer.
