Maintain your HP all-in-one

Chapter 12

If copy or print quality still seem poor after you clean the print cartridges, try cleaning the print cartridge contacts before replacing the affected print cartridge. For information on cleaning the print cartridge contacts, see Clean the print cartridge contacts. For information on replacing the print cartridges, see Replace the print cartridges.

For information on cleaning the print cartridges by using the HP Image Zone software that came with your HP all-in-one, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help that came with your software.

Clean the print cartridge contacts

Clean the print cartridge contacts only if you get repeated messages on the color graphics display prompting you to check a print cartridge after you already have cleaned or aligned the print cartridges.

Before cleaning the print cartridge contacts, remove the print cartridge and verify that nothing is covering the print cartridge contacts, then reinstall the print cartridge. If you continue to get messages to check the print cartridges, clean the print cartridge contacts.

Make sure you have the following materials available:

Dry foam rubber swabs, lint-free cloth, or any soft material that will not come apart or leave fibers.

Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water might contain contaminants that can damage the print cartridges).

Warning Do not use platen cleaners or alcohol to clean the print cartridge contacts. These can damage the print cartridge or the HP all-in-one.

To clean the print cartridge contacts

1Turn on the HP all-in-one and open the print-carriage access door. The print carriage moves to the far right side of the HP all-in-one.

2Wait until the print carriage is idle and silent, and then unplug the power cord from the back of the HP all-in-one.

3Lightly press down on the print cartridge to release it, and then pull it toward you out of the slot.

Note Do not remove both print cartridges at the same time. Remove and clean each print cartridge one at a time. Do not leave a print cartridge outside the HP all-in-one for more than 30 minutes.

4Inspect the print cartridge contacts for ink and debris buildup.

5Dip a clean foam rubber swab or lint-free cloth into distilled water, and squeeze any excess water from it.

6Hold the print cartridge by its sides.

7Clean only the copper-colored contacts. For information on cleaning the ink nozzle area, see Clean the area around the ink nozzles.
