Cleaning the fuser

Run the printer cleaning page to keep the fuser free of toner and paper particles that can sometimes accumulate. Accumulation of toner and particles can cause specks to appear on the front or back side of your print jobs. (See “Specks” on page 125.)

To ensure optimum print quality, HP recommends that you use the cleaning page every time you replace the print cartridge or on an automatic interval that you can set up. If you have an optional duplexer installed, you must run cleaning pages manually.

The cleaning procedure takes about 2.5 minutes to complete. A message (either CREATING CLEANING PAGE or CLEANING) appears on the printer control panel display while the cleaning is taking place.

Running the cleaning page manually

In order for the cleaning page to work properly, print the page on copier-grade paper (not bond, heavy, or rough paper).

If you have an optional duplexer installed, this cleaning method is the only one you can use. To ensure that automatic cleaning is off, see “Running the cleaning page automatically” on page 90.
