HP 1018 - Manual (Page 52)

NOTE For best results use a sheet of transparency. If you do not have any transparencies, you can
use copier-grade media, 70 to 90 g/m
2 (18 to 24 lb), with a smooth surface.
1. Make sure that the printer is idle and the Ready light is on.
2. Load the media in the input tray.
3. Print a cleaning page. Access the printer properties (or printing preferences in
Windows 2000 and XP). See Printer properties (driver) for instructions.
NOTE The cleaning process takes approximately 3 minutes. The cleaning page will stop
periodically during the cleaning process. Do not turn the printer off until the cleaning process
has finished. You might need to repeat the cleaning process several times to thoroughly
clean the printer.
