HP envy 4502: protect the cartridges don't dry out

Hey,.

as stated above, I have a HP envy 4502.

How can I protect my cartridges don't dry out? I can't find it in the manual.

Is - it really is enough only to turn the printer off or do I have to print every week?

Thanks in advance

Hi Wark,

There is no need to try to protect your cartridges don't dry out, unless you plan to leave the printer idle for more than 2-3 months.

In the printer, the cartridges are capped so that a wet environment is maintained around the print head.  This usually prevents healthy cartridges unless the printer is left idle for a long time.  In general, printing systems are designed to resist being idle for 2-3 months, because this can happen if a printer is used in a classroom and the school closes for the summer holiday period.

The only thing to make sure is always turn off the printer using the power button on the printer and do not feed it power off by removing the plug from the socket on the wall.  If you stop the power by taking the plug out of the wall socket that the printer may be in a State where the transport is to halfway through the box printing, and when the power is taken from the transport stops and the cartridges will not be capped within the printer.  Then they will certainly be dry if during an extended period of time.

When you turn off the printer using the power button on the printer itself printer not stop immediately but will allow the transport of cartridges to Cap until the power goes off.

I hope this explains the situation and is useful for you.

  • HP C3100 that while a black printer ink 92 drys out cartridge or malfunctions between print jobs

    Hi, my C3100 of HP all-in-One printer works very well with a black ink cartridge new 92. Once I have do not use the printer for a while, maybe a few months, it will not print. I use the printer as a standalone Copier right now. The cartridge has printed perhaps only ten pages and now it's not even a hint of ink on paper. This has happened since the purchase of the printer/copier and we had to replace the ink cartridge every time. This isn't a software problem I use the stand alone unit. I am convinced that if I install another new cartridge 92 unit will print. How can I keep the ink don't dry out, if that's even the problem? Why the ink must be dry? Should I get another type of printer for limited use? Never heard talk about the ink dry before. Please respond as I want to copy something but I'm tired of having to install a new ink cartridge in order to. Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    You can try and hold the Ribbon with a few rubber bands wrapped around the cartridge of thr. Keep in a sealed bag will also help.

    The goal is to keep the print head don't dry out. When kept in a printer, the cartridge is capped when not is use to avoid it drying out.

  • HP ENVY 4502: New out of box want 4502 says 'the following ink cartridges need to be replaced.

    I bought a new HP ENVY 4502. I have out of the box, follow the installation instructions precisel before 4.9 step. The printer says 'Cartridge Install' with a blue under circle. I can't go any further.

    I turn the machine off and on again and everything looks OK and I can continue with the installation.

    Is this normal or does indicate that there is a problem with the new printer or cartridges provided?

    Thank you for your help; I look forward to a response

    Hi @johngray,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I'd love to help you with your newly purchased 4502 envy. From your description, it seems that you have seen the 'Installation cartridge' message with a blue circle and could not move forward through the installation until you turned the printer off and on again. Your message, it sounds like once you have turned off the printer and turn it on again you were able to complete the installation, is that correct? I think that maybe there was a minor hiccup and the printer does not detect that the cartridge was installed, I don't think that it is an indication of how the printer will behave in the future.

    If you encounter any other complications please let me know and I will gladly make all that I can to help.

  • HP envy 4502 not connect to the printer

    Hello, I bought the HP envy 4502 for College this fall semester. My apartment complex has free WiFi and lets my computer and laptop to separately connect to free wifi. I have first installed my printer that I was instructed to do. Then, when I download the installer on my computer it downloads perfectly. However when I move 'install' on my computer my printer is not found. I went to Wal-Mart, thinking that if I bought a USB cable, it would solve my problem. I plugged in the computer and the printer with the USB and printer 'ENVY 4500 series' has been designated now connected via USB. Now, the next step was to configure the device. My printer is not set to join the wireless network. "The device is not accessible. My Hp product registration was a success, however, I forgot to add my HP printer connected account. I looked on other forums, and because I live in an apartment the IPS are slightly different because the wifi is used throughout the complex. When I manually setup wifi with the same ip addresses, connectivity still does not. I really need your help. I paid a lot of money for this printer wireless and school starts soon. I need this printer! I downloaded the latest driver. I have Mac OS X 10.8.5. Also is it possible to use my printer as a wired printer wireless with my USB cable?

    Hello

    I haven't used a MAC in 10 years so I can't help you with MAC issues.  Your PC has a USB 2 port, so you should be able to connect the MAC to the printer using the USB 2 cable.  Follow these instructions.  There seems to be a lot of warnings I have gottcha.
