clean the glass
Dirty glass from fingerprints, smudges, hair, and so on slows down performance and affects the accuracy of features such as Fit to Page.
1Turn off the HP psc, unplug the power cord, and raise the lid.
2Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a nonabrasive glass cleaner.
Caution! Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon tetrachloride on the glass; these can damage it. Do not place or spray liquids directly on the glass. They might seep under it and damage the HP psc.
3Dry the glass with a chamois or cellulose sponge to prevent spotting.
clean the lid backing
Minor debris can accumulate on the white document backing located underneath the lid of the HP psc. This can cause problems during scan or copy tasks.
1Turn off the HP psc, unplug the power cord, and raise the lid.
2Clean the white document backing with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a mild soap and warm water.
3Wash the backing gently to loosen debris; do not scrub the backing.
