How to Use the Self-Test, How to Clean Cartridges | HP Color Copier

How to Use the Self-Test Page

The self-test page lets you know whether the HP Color Copier is operating properly. It lists current, default front-panel settings, and tells whether the ADF is attached properly.

To print a self-test page:

1Press Menu until “Self-Test Page” appears on the display.

2Press Select/Resume.

The test page has a set of lines that should appear unbroken, and colored bars that should appear solid. The intensity of the colors varies, depending on the type of paper you are using (that is, plain paper,

HP Premium Inkjet Paper, and so on).

How to Clean Cartridges

Use the Clean Cartridges feature when the self-test page shows streaking or white lines through any of the colored bars. Do not clean cartridges unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of your print cartridges.

To clean the cartridges:

1Press Menu until “Clean Cartridges” appears on the display.

2Press Select/Resume.

The message “Cleaning” appears on the display, and a sample page is printed.

NOTE	If copy quality still seems poor after you clean the cartridges, replace the one, black
	or color, that is affected.
