The HP All-in-One requires little maintenance. Sometimes you might want to clean the glass and lid backing to remove surface dust and ensure that your copies and scans remain clear.

Perform these simple maintenance procedures as necessary.

Clean the HP All-in-One

To ensure that your copies and scans remain clear, you might need to clean the glass and lid backing. You might also want to dust the exterior of the HP All-in-One.

Clean the glass

Glass that is dirty from fingerprints, smudges, hair, and dust on the main glass surface slows down performance and affects the accuracy of features such as Fit to Page.

To clean the glass

1.Turn off the HP All-in-One, unplug the power cord, and raise the lid.

Note When you unplug the power cord, the date and time are erased. You will need to reset the date and time later, when you plug the power cord back in. For more information, see Set the date and time. Any faxes stored in memory are also erased.

2.Clean 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, since they can damage it. Do not place or spray liquid directly on the glass. The liquid might seep under the glass and damage the device.

3.Dry the glass with a chamois or cellulose sponge to prevent spotting.

To clean the glass strip inside the automatic document feeder
