Maintaining the Printer

The printer does not require scheduled maintenance. Periodic cleaning, however, enhances the look of the printer and keeps it in peak condition. Cleaning may also make it easier to diagnose problems.

Clean the exterior with a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent and water.

Caution: Clean the printer only with water or water mixed with a mild detergent. Using other cleaners or alcohol may damage the printer.

Caution: The ink in the print cartridges has been carefully formulated by Hewlett- Packard to ensure superior print quality and compatibility with your printer. Damage to the printer or the print cartridge resulting from modifying or refilling the print cartridge is not the responsibility of HP.

Selecting and Loading Paper

The printer prints on plain paper and most other types of paper. Most plain paper used for photocopying yields good results.

Note: Paper does not need to be removed from the main bottom media tray when using the alternative top media feed. The printer checks for paper feeding from the alternative top media feed. If paper is detected, the printer picks paper from there without checking the main bottom media tray.

Always use paper that conforms to the printer specifications.

Do not use media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations or paper that is heavily textured or embossed.

Do not use multiple-part forms.

Load only one paper type at a time into any of the trays.

Except when using manual feed, load the paper print side down with the right edge of the paper aligned against the right edge of the tray.

Do not load more than 150 sheets of paper or 15 envelopes into the main tray at one time. For the alternative top media feed, do not load more than 10 sheets of paper or 3 envelopes. Load only one sheet of paper into the manual feed tray.
