Moisture

NOTE: This product dissipates heat by using convective cooling. The heat and moisture generated by the printing process escape through vents in the product exterior or through the output bin area.

Verify normal product operation

The release of moisture is a result of normal product operation. However, HP recommends using the following steps to verify that the product is releasing steam and does not have a functional problem.

1. Turn the product off, and then on.

2. Send a print job to the product, and then verify that the product is operating correctly.

3. When printing a job and vapor is visible, immediately reprint the job using the same sheet of paper. There should be either no visible vapor, or much less vapor during the printing process.
