Cleaning Print Cartridges
When Do You Need to Clean?
Clean the print cartridges if your printed page is missing lines or
dots, or if it contains ink streaks.
If You See Missing Lines or Dots...
Clean the print cartridges from the HP DeskJet Utility window by
doing the following:
1 Double-click the HP DeskJet Utility icon in the Utilities folder on your hard
drive’s main directory.
2 Click the Clean panel, then click the Clean button. Follow the on-screen
directions.
If You See Ink Streaks...
Clean the print cartridges and the print cartridge cradle by
following the instructions below.
1 Double-click the HP DeskJet Utility icon in the Utilities folder
on your hard drive’s main directory.
2 Click the Clean panel, then click the Clean button. Follow the
on-screen directions. If this does not prevent streaks, follow
the instructions for “Manually Cleaning the Print Cartridges”
on the next page.
Be careful not to get ink on your hands or clothing.
Note: Unnecessary cleaning wastes ink and shortens the life of the
print cartridge.
