Cleaning the printer media path

If you are experiencing toner specks or dots on the printouts, you can use the HP LaserJet cleaning utility to remove excess media and toner particles that can accumulate on the fuser assembly and rollers. Cleaning the media path might extend the life of the printer.

For best results use a sheet of transparency. If you do not have any transparencies, you can use copier grade media (18 to 24 lb. or 70 to 90 g/m2) with a smooth surface.

1Make sure that the printer is idle and the Ready light is on.

2Load the media in the paper input tray.

3Access the printer properties. See Printer properties (driver) for instructions. Click the Configure tab, and click Start in Cleaning Page.

The cleaning process takes approximately 2 minutes.
