HP 150 C5370A Cleaning Cartridges

Cleaning Cartridges

Use the Clean Cartridges feature when the Self Test Page shows streaking or white lines through any of the colored bars. Do not clean cartridges unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of your print cartridges.

To clean the cartridges:

1Press the Menu button repeatedly until you see “Clean Cartridges” on the front panel display.

2Press Select/Resume.

The message “Printing a Cleaning Check Sheet” appears on the front panel display, and a Print Cartridge Cleaning Page will be printed.

NOTE If copy quality still seems poor after you clean the cartridges, replace them.
