Many businesses use HP 4280 inkjet printers -- either the Deskjet F4280 or Photosmart C4280 -- instead of laser printers. These printers can produce a wide range of documents and images, ranging from simple black and white print or vibrant color. The HP 4280 uses two ink cartridges, one black and one tri-Color. The installation process is the same for both models of printer.
Instructions
1. Turn on your HP 4280 printer and load it with paper.
2. Open the ink cartridge door on the front right side of the printer.
3. Remove the HP black ink cartridge from its packaging. Remove the tape from the cartridge.
4. Hold the cartridge in front of the black ink cartridge slot with the electrical contacts facing the back of the printer. Tilt the front of the cartridge slightly downward. Insert the cartridge into the right slot and push it until it locks into place.
5. Repeat the installation process with the HP tri-color cartridge. Close the ink cartridge access door. Wait for the alignment page to print.
6. Place the alignment page face-down on the scanner, aligning it with the right front corner.
7. Push the appropriate command button -- "Scan" on the F4280 or "OK" on the C4280 -- on your printer console. Wait until the printer stops making noise. Remove and discard the alignment page.
