Cleaning the printer media path
If you are experiencing toner specks or dots on the printouts, clean the printer media path. This
process uses a transparency to remove dust and toner from the media path. Do not use bond or
rough paper.
Note For best results use a sheet of transparency. If you do not have any transparencies, you can use
copier grade media (18 to 24 lb. or 70 to 90 g/m
2
) 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 using one of the following methods:
• Access the HP toolbox. See Using the hp toolbox for instructions. Click the
Troubleshooting tab, and click Print Quality Tools. Select the cleaning page.
Or
• On the printer control panel, press and hold the Go button until all three lights come on
(about 10 seconds). When all three lights come on, release the Go button.
Note The cleaning process takes approximately 2 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.
