Auto-O
This feature turns the printer o after 2 hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use. Auto-O turns the
printer o completely, so you must use the Power button to turn the printer back on.
If your printer supports this energy saving feature, Auto-O is automatically enabled or disabled depending
on printer capabilities and connection options. Even when Auto-O is disabled, the printer enters Sleep mode
after 5 minutes of inactivity to help reduce energy use.
● Auto-O is enabled when the printer is turned on, if the printer does not have network, fax or Wi-Fi
Direct capability, or is not using these capabilities.
● Auto-O is disabled when a printer’s wireless or Wi-Fi Direct capability is turned on or when a printer
with fax, USB, or Ethernet network capability establishes a fax, USB, or Ethernet network connection.
TIP: To conserve battery power, you can enable Auto-O, even when the printer is connected or
wireless is turned on.

Tips for working with ink and printhead
Printhead tips
Use the following tips to work with printheads:
● Use original HP printheads.
● To protect the printheads from drying out, always turn the printer o using the Power button, and wait
until the Power button light goes out.
● Do not open or untape printheads until you are ready to install them. Leaving tape on the printheads
reduces ink evaporation.
● Install both the black and color printheads correctly.
For more information, see Cartridge problem on page 94.
● After you have set up the printer, do not open the printhead latch unless instructed to do so.
● Align the printer for best print quality. See Printing issues on page 101 for more information.
● If you remove a printhead from the printer for any reason, try to replace it again as soon as possible.
Outside of the printer, if unprotected, the printhead may begin to dry out.
Ink tips
Use the following tips to work with ink:
● Make sure the ink tanks are not low on ink before printing.
For more information, see Ink levels on page 55.
● Rell the ink tanks when they are low on ink. Printing with the ink tanks low on ink may cause damage to
your printer.
● Do not tilt the printer.
NOTE: Original HP printheads and ink are designed and tested with HP printers and papers to help you easily
produce great results, time after time.
HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP supplies. Product service or repairs required as a
result of using a non-HP supply will not be covered under warranty.

Solve problems using Web Services
If you are having problems using Web Services, such as HP ePrint, check the following:
● Make sure the printer is connected to the Internet using a wireless connection.
● Make sure the latest product updates have been installed on the printer.
● Make sure Web Services is enabled on the printer. For more information, see Set up Web Services
on page 40.
● Make sure the network hub, switch, or router is turned on and working correctly.
● If you are connecting the printer using a wireless connection, make sure the wireless network is
functioning properly. For more information, see Network and connection issues on page 107.
● If you are using HP ePrint, check the following:
● Make sure the printer's email address is correct.
● Make sure that the printer's email address is the only address listed in the “To” line of the email
message. If other email addresses are listed in the “To” line, the attachments you are sending
might not print.
● Make sure you are sending documents that meet the HP ePrint requirements. For more
information, visit www.hpconnected.com (might not be available in all countries/regions).

Notice to users in Canada
Under Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only
operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Innovation,
Science and Economic Development Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not
more than that necessary for successful communication.
This device complies with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation
of the device.
WARNING! Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation. The radiated output power of this device is below the
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the
device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact is minimized during normal
operation.
To avoid the possibility of exceeding the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada radio
frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antennas should not be less than 20 cm (8 inches).
ENWW Regulatory notices 121

radioélectrique potentiel pour d'autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain doivent être choisis de
manière à ce que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas celle nécessaire à une
communication réussie.
Cet appareil est conforme aux normes RSS exemptes de licence d'Innovation, Science et Développement
Economique Canada. Son fonctionnement dépend des deux conditions suivantes : (1) cet appareil ne doit pas
provoquer d'interférences nuisibles et (2) doit accepter toutes les interférences reçues, y compris des
interférences pouvant provoquer un fonctionnement non souhaité de l'appareil.
AVERTISSEMENT relatif à l'exposition aux radiofréquences. La puissance de rayonnement de cet appareil se

复印机、打印机和传真机能源效率标识实施规则
依据“复印机、打印机和传真机能源效率标识实施规则”，该打印机具有中国能效标识。标识上显示的能
效等级和操作模式值根据“复印机、打印机和传真机能效限定值及能效等级”标准（“GB 21521”）来确定
和计算。
1. 能效等级
产品能效等级分 3 级，其中 1 级能效最高。能效限定值根据产品类型和打印速度由标准确定。能
效等级则根据基本功耗水平以及网络接口和内存等附加组件和功能的功率因子之和来计算。
2. 能效信息
128 Appendix A Technical information ENWW
喷墨打印机
– 操作模式功率
睡眠状态的能耗按照 GB 21521 的标准来衡量和计算。该数据以瓦特 (W) 表示。
– 待机功率
待机状态是产品连接到电网电源上功率最低的状态。该状态可以延续无限长时间，且使用者
无法改变此状态下产品的功率。对于“成像设备”产品，“待机”状态通常相当于“关闭”状态，但
也可能相当于“准备”状态或者“睡眠”状态。该数据以瓦特 (W) 表示。
– 睡眠状态预设延迟时间
出厂前由制造商设置的时间决定了该产品在完成主功能后进入低耗模式（例如睡眠、自动关
机）的时间。该数据以分钟表示。
– 附加功能功率因子之和
网络接口和内存等附加功能的功率因子之和。该数据以瓦特 (W) 表示。
标识上显示的能耗数据是根据典型配置测量得出的数据，此类配置包含登记备案的打印机依据复印
机、打印机和传真机能源效率标识实施规则所选的所有配置。因此，该特定产品型号的实际能耗可能
与标识上显示的数据有所不同。
要了解规范的更多详情，请参考最新版的 GB 21521 标准。
