The ink in the print cartridges has been carefully formulated to ensure superior quality and compatibility with your printer. HP is not responsible for damage to the printer that results from modifying or refilling the print cartridges.

There are three cleaning levels available:

￿Level 1 cleaning is the quickest and uses the least amount of ink.

￿Level 2 cleaning should be performed only if level 1 cleaning was insufficient.

￿Level 3 cleaning is the most thorough and consumes the most ink and time. Level 3 cleaning should be performed only if level 2 cleaning was insufficient.

After each cleaning, the printer prints a test page so that you can check the print quality, and the Toolbox prompts you to perform the next level of cleaning if necessary.

Do not clean the print cartridges unless necessary; cleaning the print cartridges uses ink and shortens the life of the print cartridges.
