clean the glass
Dirty glass from dust, smudges, hair, and so on slows down performance and affects the accuracy of features such as Fit to Page.
1Turn off the HP Officejet, unplug the power cord, and raise the lid.
Note: When you unplug the power cord, you will need to plug it back in within 72 hours. If you do not plug it back in within 72 hours, you will need to reset the date and time. For more information, see set the date and time on page 50.
2Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a nonabrasive glass cleaner.
Caution! Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon tetrachloride on the glass; these can damage it. Do not place or spray liquids directly on the glass. They might seep under it and damage the HP Officejet.
3Dry the glass with a chamois or cellulose sponge to prevent spotting.
