Automatically clean the print cartridge

If you notice white lines or single-color streaks on your prints, you may need to clean the print cartridge. Do not clean the cartridge more often than necessary, since cleaning uses up ink.

Using the following hardware procedure, you can clean the cartridge up to three times each time you use the procedure. Each successive cleaning is more thorough and uses more ink.

Note If you have installed the HP Photosmart software, HP recommends performing the automatic print cartridge cleaning procedure from the software because it is easier. See the electronic Help for instructions.
