HP 2600/2700 Clean the area around the ink nozzles

Maintain your HP all-in-one

Chapter 15

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.

1 Copper-colored contacts

2 Ink nozzles (do not clean)

8Place the print cartridge back into the print carriage slot and close the latch.

9Repeat if necessary for the other print cartridge.

10Gently close the print-carriage access door and plug the power cord into the back of the HP all-in-one.

Clean the area around the ink nozzles

If the HP all-in-one is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris might accumulate inside the device. This debris can include dust, hair, carpet, or clothing fibers. When debris gets on the print cartridges, it can cause ink streaks and smudges on printed pages. Ink streaking can be corrected by cleaning around the ink nozzles as described here.

Note Clean the area around the ink nozzles only if you continue to see streaks and smudges on your printed pages after you have already cleaned the print cartridges by using the control panel or the HP Image Zone. For more information, see Clean the print cartridges.

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 touch the copper-colored contacts or ink nozzles. Touching these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.
