2. If you installed the optional HP Photosmart Internal
Battery in the printer, remove it, and then replace the
battery compartment cover.
3. Wipe the outside of the printer with a soft cloth that
has been lightly moistened with water.
Caution Do not use any type of cleaning
solution. Household cleaners and detergents
may damage the printer finish.
Caution Do not clean the interior of the printer.
Keep all fluids away from the interior.
Automatically clean the print cartridge
If you notice white lines or single-color streaks on your
prints, you may need to clean the print cartridge. Do not
clean the cartridge more often than necessary, since
cleaning uses up ink.
Using the following hardware procedure, you can clean
the cartridge up to three times each time you use the
procedure. Each successive cleaning is more thorough
and uses more ink.
Note If you have installed the HP Photosmart software,
HP recommends performing the automatic print
cartridge cleaning procedure from the software because
it is easier. See the electronic Help for instructions.
To clean the print cartridge
1. Make sure the printer is turned on.
2. Load photo paper so the printer can print a test page
after cleaning the cartridge. Use HP Advanced
Photo Paper for the best results.
3. Hold down the OK button and press the On button
4 times to begin cleaning the print cartridge.
