Replacing the cartridge on an HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer is a routine maintenance procedure. When your printer runs out of ink, you can replace the cartridge yourself by accessing the ink compartment and removing the old one.
Steps
Step 1. Make sure your HP Officejet Pro is turned on
The printer must be turned on while you are replacing the cartridge.
Step 2. Insert your fingers into the slot on the left of the printer, then pull forward to open the ink door
The cartridge compartment will move to the left, opening.
Step 3. Wait for the compartment to stop and make no noise
Step 4. Press the front of the cartridge to release it
Step 5. Remove the old cartridge by pulling it towards you and out of the compartment
Step 6. Hold the new cartridge so the contacts are facing the printer
Step 7. Gently push the new cartridge forward into the compartment until it clicks into place
The colored dot on the label should correspond to that of the compartment.
Step 8. Close the compartment door
Step 9. Wait for the printer to reboot and become silent
You can now start using your Officejet Pro 8600.
