Maintain the printer body

Because the HP Deskjet ejects ink onto the paper in a fine mist, ink smudges will eventually appear.

To remove smudges, stains, or dried ink from the exterior

1.Turn off the HP Deskjet, and then disconnect the power cord.

2.Wipe the outside of the HP Deskjet with a soft cloth that has been lightly moistened with water.

CAUTION: Do not use any type of cleaning solution. Household cleaners and detergents might damage the printer finish. Keep all fluids away from the interior. Do not lubricate the metal rod on which the print cartridge cradle slides. Noise is normal when the cradle moves back and forth.

Manually clean print cartridges

If the HP Deskjet is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris can accumulate on the print cartridge contacts. This debris can cause ink streaks on printed pages. The problem can be corrected by manually cleaning the print cartridge contacts.

You need the following items to clean the print cartridges:

Distilled water (tap water can contain contaminants that can damage the print cartridge)

Cotton swabs or other soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the print cartridge

Be careful not to get ink on your hands or clothing as you clean.
