Clean the area around the ink nozzles

If the HP all-in-one is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris might accumulate inside the device. This debris can include dust, hair, carpet, or clothing fibers. When debris gets on the print cartridges, it can cause ink streaks and smudges on printed pages. Ink streaking can be corrected by cleaning around the ink nozzles as described here.

Note Clean the area around the ink nozzles only if you continue to see streaks and smudges on your printed pages after you have already cleaned the print cartridges by using the control panel or the HP Image Zone. For more information, see Clean the print cartridges.

Make sure you have the following materials available:

Dry foam rubber swabs, lint-free cloth, or any soft material that will not come apart or leave fibers.

Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water might contain contaminants that can damage the print cartridges).

Warning Do not touch the copper-colored contacts or ink nozzles. Touching these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.

To clean the area around the ink nozzles

1Turn on the HP all-in-one and open the print-carriage access door. The print carriage is on the far right side of the HP all-in-one.

2Wait until the print carriage is idle and silent, and then unplug the power cord from the back of the HP all-in-one.

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.
