Customer is responsible for maintaining proof of date of purchase. 1. For software products, HP's limited warranty applies only to a failure to execute programming instructions. HP does not warrant that the operation of any product will be uninterrupted or error free. 2. HP's limited warranty covers only those defects which arise as a result of normal use of the product, and do not apply to any: · Improper or inadequate maintenance or modification; · Software, interfacing, media, parts, or supplies not provided or supported by HP; or · Operation outside the product's specifications. 3. For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP ink cartridge or a refilled ink cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer. However, if printer failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled ink cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials charges to service the printer for the particular failure or damage.
4. If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any software, media, or ink cartridge covered by HP's warranty, HP shall replace the defective product. If HP receives notice of a defect in any hardware product covered by HP's warranty during the applicable warranty period, HP shall either repair or replace the defective product at HP's option. 5. If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective product covered by HP's warranty, HP shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund the purchase price of the product. 6. HP shall have no obligation to repair, replace, or refund until the customer returns the defective product to HP. 7. Any replacement product may be either new or like-new, provided that it has functionality at least equal to that of the product being replaced. 8. HP's limited warranty is valid in any country/region where the covered HP product is distributed by HP except for the Middle-East, Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, and France's "Départements d'outre-mer"; for those excepted areas, the warranty is valid only in the region of purchase. Contracts for additional warranty services, such as on-site service, may be available from any authorized HP service facility where the product is distributed by HP or by an authorized importer. 9. Any applicable print cartridge warranty shall not apply to HP print cartridges that have been refilled, remanufactured, refurbished, misused, or tampered with in any way.

6-ink color printing
Use 6-ink color printing to enhance the quality of photographs. For 6-ink color printing, a photo (hp 58) and a tri-color (hp 57) print cartridge must be installed. A photo (hp 58) print cartridge may be purchased separately if it is not included with your product. Use the 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi setting when you want the highest quality print resolution for printing photographs. When 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi is selected in the printer driver, the tri-color print cartridge prints in the 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi mode. If the photo (hp 58) print cartridge is also installed, the print quality is enhanced.
regulatory model number
For regulatory identification purposes, your product is assigned a Regulatory Model Number. The Regulatory Model Number for your product is VCVRA-0101. This regulatory number should not be confused with the marketing name (e.g., HP DeskJet 5550) or product numbers (e.g., C6487C).
