The HP Photosmart 330 series printer requires very little maintenance. Follow the guidelines in this chapter to extend the life span of the printer and printing supplies, and to ensure that the photos you print are always of the highest quality.

Cleaning and maintaining the printer

Keep the printer and print cartridges clean and well maintained using the simple procedures in this section.

Cleaning the outside of the printer

1.Turn off the printer, then disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.

2.If you installed the optional HP Photosmart Internal Battery in the printer, remove it, then close the battery compartment door.

3.Wipe the outside of the printer with a soft cloth that has been lightly moistened with water.

Caution 1 Do not use any type of cleaning solution. Household cleaners and detergents may damage the printer’s finish.

Caution 2 Do not clean the interior of the printer. Keep all fluids away from the interior.

Cleaning the print cartridge

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

1.Remove any memory cards from the memory card slots.

Caution Do not pull out a memory card while the Memory Card light is flashing. For more information, see Removing a memory card.

2.Press or to display the printer menu.

3.Select Tools, then press OK.

4.Select Clean cartridge, then press OK.

5.Following the directions on the printer screen, load paper so the printer can print a test page after cleaning the cartridge. Use plain paper or index cards to conserve photo paper.

6.Press OK to begin cleaning the print cartridge.

7.When the printer finishes cleaning the cartridge and prints a test page, check the test page and select from the following options:

–If the test page has white streaks or missing colors, the print cartridge needs to be cleaned again. Select Yes, then press OK.

–If the print quality of the test page looks good, select No, then press OK.

You can clean the cartridge up to three times. Each successive cleaning is more thorough and uses more ink.
