Clean the exterior

Use a soft cloth or slightly moistened sponge to wipe dust, smudges, and stains off
the case. The interior of the HP All-in-One does not require cleaning. Keep fluids
away from the control panel and the interior of the HP All-in-One.

Warning

To avoid damage to painted parts of the HP All-in-One, do not use

alcohol or alcohol-based cleaning products on the control panel, lid, or other
painted parts of the device.

replace a print cartridge. The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink
remaining in the print cartridges.

need to be replaced. For more information, see
