automatically cleaning print cartridges

If your printed pages are missing lines or dots or if streaks appear, the print cartridges need to

be cleaned.

Print cartridges are cleaned automatically using the following procedure:

1. Open the

hp inkjet utility

.

2. Select the

Clean

panel.

3. Click the

Clean

button, then follow the onscreen instructions.

If your printouts are still missing lines or dots after cleaning, a print cartridge may be low on ink.

One or both print cartridges may need to be replaced.

If ink streaks still appear on your printouts after cleaning, the print cartridges and cradle may

need to be cleaned manually.

Caution!

Clean print cartridges only when it is necessary. Unnecessary cleaning

wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridge.
