Check estimated ink levels
You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need to replace an ink cartridge.
The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink remaining in the ink cartridges.
● The Ink Level icons on the printer display show an estimate of ink remaining in the ink cartridges.
For more information about the Ink Level icons, see Control panel lights and display icons status on page 7.
1. Open the HP printer software. For more information, see Open the HP printer software (Windows)
on page 23.
1. Open HP Utility.
HP Utility is located in the Hewlett-Packard folder in the Applications folder at the top level of the hard
disk.
2. Select the HP DeskJet 3630 series from the list of devices at the left of the window.
NOTE: If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured ink cartridge, or an ink cartridge that has been used
in another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or unavailable.
NOTE: Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a
low-ink warning message, consider having a replacement ink cartridge available to avoid possible printing
delays. You do not have to replace the ink cartridges until the print quality is unacceptable.
NOTE: Ink from the ink cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways, including in
the initialization process, which prepares the printer and cartridges for printing, and in printhead servicing,
which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the ink
cartridge after it is used. For more information, see www.hp.com/go/inkusage.
2. In the printer software, click Shop, click Shop For Supplies Online, and then follow the on-screen
instructions.

choose your country/region, and then follow the prompts to find the right cartridges for your printer.
NOTE: Ordering ink cartridges online is not supported in all countries/regions. If it is not available in your
country/region, you may still view supplies information and print a list for reference when shopping at a local
HP reseller.
2. Close the output tray extender, and then rotate the output tray clockwise to stow it in the printer.
b. Open the cartridge access door and wait for the print carriage to move to the center of the printer.
c. Press down to release the ink cartridge, and then remove it from the slot.
c. Slide the ink cartridge into the slot until it clicks into place.
NOTE: The HP printer software prompts you to align the ink cartridges when you print a
document after installing the new ink cartridge.
NOTE: When the printer operates in single-cartridge mode, a message is displayed on the computer screen.
If the message is displayed and two ink cartridges are installed in the printer, verify that the protective piece
of plastic tape has been removed from each ink cartridge. When the plastic tape covers the ink cartridge
contacts, the printer cannot detect that the ink cartridge is installed. If there is no plastic tape on the
cartridges, try cleaning the cartridge contacts. For information about cleaning ink cartridge contacts, see Ink
cartridge issues on page 85.
● Install both the black and tri-color ink cartridges in the printer.
During the warranty period, the cartridge is covered as long as the HP ink is not depleted and the end of
warranty date has not been reached. The end of warranty date, in YYYY/MM/DD format, may be found on the
cartridge as indicated:
For a copy of the HP Limited Warranty Statement, see the printed documentation that came with the printer.
● To protect the cartridges from drying out, always turn the printer off using the Power button, and wait
until the Power button light goes out.
● Do not open or untape cartridges until you are ready to install them. Leaving tape on the cartridges
reduces ink evaporation.
● Insert the cartridges into the correct slots. Match the color and icon of each cartridge to the color and
icon for each slot. Make sure the cartridges snap into place.
● Align the printer for best print quality. See Printing issues on page 88 for more information.
● When the Estimated Ink Levels screen shows one or both cartridges in a low state, consider getting
replacement cartridges to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the cartridges until
print quality becomes unacceptable. See Replace ink cartridges on page 58 for more information.
● If you remove a cartridge from the printer for any reason, try to replace it again as soon as possible.
Outside of the printer, if unprotected, cartridges begin to dry out.

Read general instructions in the Help for clearing a print carriage jams
▲ Remove any objects, such as paper, that are blocking the print carriage.
NOTE: Do not use any tools or other devices to remove jammed paper. Always use caution when
removing jammed paper from inside the printer.
● Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat, and the edges are not bent or torn.
● Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack of paper in the
input tray must be the same size and type.
● Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width
guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
● Do not add paper while the printer is printing. If the printer is about to run out of paper, wait until the out
of paper message appears before adding paper.
– Make sure paper is loaded in the input tray. For more information, see Load media on page 15.
– Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-
width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.

If you get an ink cartridge problem message from the printer software that states at least one of the
cartridges has a problem, do the following to identify whether a cartridge has a problem.
1. Remove the black cartridge and then close the cartridge access door.

● If the Ink Level icon for the tri-color cartridge does not blink, the tri-color cartridge does not have a
problem.
2. Install the black cartridge back in the printer, remove tri-color cartridge, and then close the cartridge
access door.
● If the Ink Level icon for the black cartridge blinks, the black cartridge has a problem.
● If the Ink Level icon for the black cartridge does not blink, the black cartridge does not have a
problem.
CAUTION: The cleaning procedure should take only a few minutes. Make sure that the ink cartridges are
reinstalled in the printer as soon as possible. It is not recommended to leave the ink cartridges outside of the
printer longer than 30 minutes. This could result in damage to the printhead or the ink cartridges.
2. Close the output tray extender, and then rotate the output tray clockwise to stow it in the printer.
4. Open the cartridge access door and wait for the print carriage to move to the center of the printer.
a. Hold the ink cartridge by its sides with the bottom pointing up and locate the electrical contacts on
the ink cartridge.
The electrical contacts are the small gold-colored dots on the ink cartridge.
