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

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

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

3Wipe 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.

–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.
