Cleaning the product
WARNING! Before you perform these steps, unplug the product to avoid shock hazard.
To maintain quality, thoroughly clean the product at the following times:
■ Any time a new print cartridge is installed
■ After printing approximately 2,000 pages
■ Whenever print-quality problems appear
Clean the outside of the product with a water-dampened cloth. Clean the inside with a dry, lint-free cloth
(such as a lens tissue).
WARNING! Avoid touching the heating element in the fuser. It might be very hot and can cause
burns.

alcohol-based cleaners on or around the product.
CAUTION Do not touch the surface of the black-sponge transfer roller. Contaminants on the
roller can cause print-quality problems.
Cleaning the print path
The HP LJ 1022 series feature a special cleaning mode to clean the paper path.
NOTE This process requires a transparency to remove dust and toner from the print paper path.
Do not use bond or rough paper.
Make sure that the transparency used in this cleaning process meets the media requirements for
the printer.
If transparency film is unavailable, you can use copier-grade paper (70- to 90-g/m
2
, or 18- to 24-
lb) with a smooth surface. If you must use paper, perform the procedure two or three times to
ensure thorough cleaning.
1 Make sure that the printer is idle and the R
EADY
light is on.
2 Load the transparency in the input tray.
3 Open the Printer Properties dialog box. Click the Configure tab, and then select Start in the
Cleaning Page box. Follow the instructions in the Cleaning Utility dialog box.
NOTE The cleaning process takes approximately 3 minutes. The cleaning page will stop
periodically during the cleaning process. Do not turn the printer off until the cleaning process has
been completed. You might need to repeat the cleaning process several times to thoroughly clean
the printer.
