Note
If you are experiencing toner specks or dots on the printouts, clean the printer media path. This process uses a transparency to remove dust and toner from the media path. Do not use bond or rough paper.
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 input tray.
3Print a cleaning page using one of the following methods:
•Access the HP toolbox. See Using the hp toolbox for instructions. Click the Troubleshooting tab, and click Print Quality Tools. Select the cleaning page. Or
•On the printer control panel, press and hold the Go button until all three lights come on (about 10 seconds). When all three lights come on, release the Go button.
The cleaning process takes approximately 2 minutes. The cleaning page will stop periodically during the cleaning process. Do not turn the printer off until the cleaning process has finished. You might need to repeat the cleaning process several times to thoroughly clean the printer.
