Cleaning the MFP
To maintain print quality, clean the MFP thoroughly whenever print-quality problems occur and every
time you replace the print cartridge.
WARNING! Avoid touching the fusing area when cleaning the MFP. It can be hot.
CAUTION To avoid permanent damage to the print cartridge, do not use ammonia-based
cleaners on or around the MFP except as directed.
Cleaning the outside of the MFP
■
Clean the outside of the MFP if it is visibly marked.
■ Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water, or with water and a mild detergent.
Cleaning the touchscreen
Clean the touchscreen whenever it is necessary to remove fingerprints or dust. Wipe the
touchscreen gently with a clean, water-dampened, lint-free cloth.
CAUTION Use water only. Solvents or cleaners can damage the touchscreen. Do not pour
or spray water directly onto the touchscreen.
Cleaning the scanner glass
■ Clean the scanner glass only if dirt is visible, or if you are experiencing a decrease in copy
quality, such as streaking.
■ Clean the scanner glass by wiping it gently with a clean, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Use an
ammonia-based surface cleaner only when a water-dampened cloth does not clean the scanner
glass. Spray or pour the cleaner onto the cleaning cloth. Do not spray or pour the cleaner onto
the scanner glass.
CAUTION Do not pour or spray liquids directly onto the scanner glass. Do not press hard on
the glass surface. (You could break the glass.)
Cleaning the fuser
Use the MFP cleaning page to keep the fuser free of toner and paper particles that can sometimes
accumulate. Accumulation of toner and particles can cause specks to appear on the front or back
side of your print jobs.
CAUTION Do not attempt to clean the fuser with water or any other liquid. Use only the
internal cleaning page to clean the fuser.
To ensure optimum print quality, HP recommends that you use the cleaning page every time you
replace the print cartridge or whenever print-quality problems occur.
The cleaning procedure takes about 2.5 minutes to complete. A CLEANING message appears on
the control-panel display while the cleaning is taking place.
