Self-maintenance sounds

The HP All-in-One will make mechanical noises at various times to perform periodic maintenance functions, such as replenishing the ink levels in the print head assembly or cleaning the print head. This is normal operation and is necessary to ensure the HP All-in-One produces the best quality printouts.

Caution A message on the color graphics display will notify you when the HP All-in-One is performing maintenance functions. Do not remove power from the device during this time.
