System requirements
Print cartridges
Please note
Your PaperJet 55E/65E uses a black or
colour ink cartridge. Only one cartridge can
be installed at a time.
Faxes you receive will only be printed when
the black ink cartridge is installed.
Faxes will be stored in the memory if the
colour cartridge is installed.
If the memory becomes full, your machine
will not receive any more until you have
printed some of the faxes, so it is good
practice to keep the black ink cartridge
in the machine for all normal use.
Local copies can only be made when the
black ink cartridge is installed.
