1Turn off the unit, unplug the power cord, and raise the lid.

2Clean the white document-backing with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a mild soap and warm water.

3Wash the backing gently to loosen debris; do not scrub the backing.

4Dry the backing with a chamois or soft cloth.

Caution! Do not use paper-based wipes as these may scratch the backing.

5If this does not clean the backing well enough, repeat the previous steps using isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, and wipe the backing thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any residual alcohol.

clean the exterior

Use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth to wipe dust, smudges, and stains off the case. The interior of the unit does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away from the interior of the unit as well as the front panel.

Note: To avoid damage to painted parts of the unit, do not use alcohol or alcohol-based cleaning products on the front panel or the lid of the unit.

work with print cartridges

To ensure the best print quality from your HP OfficeJet, you will need to perform some simple maintenance procedures, and when prompted by a front-panel message and off-color results, replace the print cartridges.
