Chapter 6 Care and maintenance
The printer requires very little maintenance. You can use the HP PhotoSmart
1215/1218 Toolbox to help take care of your printer. Be sure to keep the print
cartridges fresh (don’t let them sit unused for long periods of time) and keep the
printer clean and in good condition.
Using the HP PhotoSmart Toolbox (Windows PC)
Use the HP PhotoSmart Toolbox to calibrate and clean your printer, and to print a
test page. How you open the Toolbox depends on the type of computer system
you are using.
Use the Toolbox to:
•
Open the User’s Guide to see a portable document format (PDF) version of
this guide.
• Calibrate the printer to align the print cartridges.
• Clean the print cartridges when lines and dots are missing from your
printout.
• Print a test page to check for clarity after cleaning or to verify that the
printer can receive data and print from the computer correctly.
• Print a diagnostic page to show how the print cartridge nozzles are working.
Note: It is only necessary to print a diagnostic page if HP Customer Care asks
you to.
• Calibrate the photo tray to correctly position your photos.
• View estimated print cartridge ink levels .
• Adjust the printer’s configuration .
