How to Replace an Empty Ink Cartridge in the HP Officejet 4620 e-All-in-One series – an Illustrated Tutorial in 8 Steps

Make sure you purchase the right ink cartridges for your specific printer and printer region or have your old ones refilled. Cartridges are not compatible between different brands, and often not within the same brand. HP often designs its inkjet hardware to use country-specific consumables. When you unbox a new HP inkjet printer and set it up, you install a set of ink tanks that ship with the printer. As you turn on the device and get ready to use it, an initialization sequence localizes it to the country associated with the ink cartridges you installed.

HP recommends that you use original HP ink cartridges. XL (Extra Large) cartridges cost more but do provide better value in the long run. They will be able to print at least double the pages of a regular cartridge. Our advice is that if you print often, go with XL. However, ink can dry up. So if you are not a frequent printer, go with the regular cartridges.

You can check the estimated ink levels from the printer control panel, printer software or the embedded Web server (EWS). Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not have to replace the cartridges until the print quality is unacceptable.

To check the estimated ink levels from the printer control panel:
– From the Home screen, press the Setup button (wrench icon).
– Using the buttons on the right, select Ink Information, and then select Estimated Ink Levels.

Align the printhead only if necessary.
The printer automatically aligns the printhead during the initial setup. However, you might want to use this feature for print quality issues in printouts where straight lines look wavy or jagged. You can align the printhead from the printer’s control panel, from the Toolbox (Windows) or HP Utility (OS X) and from the embedded web server (EWS).

How to Remove a Memory Card from your Medion AKOYA S2217 Laptop – Tutorial

The Medion AKOYA S2217 is a great social-TV laptop for the sofa, an excellent holiday laptop and could even serve as a kids homework PC although please note that there’s no free Office 365 license included. The base model however only has 32 GB of internal storage, which makes it a poor choice for storing multimedia files, such as music, videos and pictures. There’s also a 64 GB version of the same model available. Windows 10 (32-bit) uses at least 16 GB of the SSD. We recommend storing multimedia files on an external memory card in your device to free up your device’s internal memory for applications. Plus, if you buy a new laptop, you can simply put your external memory card in your new device and all your private data is back immediately.

Which Memory Card do I need for my Medion AKOYA S2217 Laptop laptop?

Make sure you purchase the right memory card for your laptop. While many laptops have an SD card reader, the Medion AKOYA S2217 is a small 11.6 inch laptop which comes with a microSDHC card reader/writer. A microSD card or microSDHC (High-Capacity) memory card is the same type of card usually used for smartphones. Many micro SD Cards come with an SD card adapter for compatibility with SD-enabled devices, such as cameras, camcorders and computers. Memory cards usually come pre-formatted and do not need to be formatted out of the box. The slot is at the outside of the device, at the left side (near the Caps Lock key).

Make also sure you purchase a fast memory card. The SD Association defines standard speed classes indicating minimum performance to record video. The class indicates the minimum writing speed: Class 2 = 2 MB/s, Class 4 = 4 MB/s, Class 6 = 6 MB/s, Class 10 = 10 MB/s. A fast Class 10 card is recommended. A class 10 card will play video files on the Medion AKOYA S2217 fine. SDHC cards are usually shipped preformatted with the FAT file system and will work out of the box.

Popular memory cards for this laptop include, but are not limited to: SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Card with Adapter, Grey/Red, Standard Packaging and Samsung EVO 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC Card with Adapter.
