HP ENVY 5640: print with one cartridge

This two-cartridge model can use single-cartridge mode when one supply is empty.

1 min read

The ENVY 5640 uses a black HP 62/62XL and a tri-colour HP 62/62XL cartridge. Its single-cartridge mode is for this two-cartridge design, not HP OfficeJet models with four separate tanks.

Use the remaining cartridge

  1. Use the normal cartridge-access procedure and wait for the carriage to stop.
  2. Remove the empty cartridge, close the access door and confirm OK if the single-cartridge message appears.
  3. With black remaining, print in black and white. With tri-colour remaining, colour is available but black can look lighter.
  4. Install both correct cartridges again to leave single-cartridge mode.
