The HP All-in-One requires little maintenance. Sometimes you might want to clean the glass and lid backing to remove surface dust and ensure that your copies and scans remain clear. You will also need to replace, align, or clean your print cartridges occasionally. This chapter provides instructions for keeping your HP All-in-One in top working condition. Perform these simple maintenance procedures as necessary.

Clean the HP All-in-One

Fingerprints, smudges, hair, and other debris on the glass or lid backing slow down performance and affect the accuracy of special features such as Fit to Page. To ensure that your copies and scans remain clear, you might need to clean the glass and lid backing. You might also want to dust the exterior of the HP All-in-One.

Clean the glass

1.Turn off the HP All-in-One, unplug the power cord, and raise the lid.

2.Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a nonabrasive glass cleaner.

Warning Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon tetrachloride on the glass; they can damage it. Do not place or spray liquid directly on the glass; the liquid might seep under the glass and damage the device.

3.Dry the glass with a chamois or cellulose sponge to prevent spotting.

Clean the exterior

Use a soft cloth or slightly moistened sponge to wipe dust, smudges, and stains off the case. The interior of the HP All-in-One does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away from the control panel and the interior of the HP All-in-One.
