There are three stages of cleaning. Each stage lasts about two minutes, uses one sheet of paper, and
uses an increasing amount of ink. After each stage, review the quality of the printed page. You should
only initiate the next phase of cleaning if the print quality is poor.
If print quality still seems poor after you complete all stages of cleaning, try aligning the printhead. If
print quality problems persist after cleaning and aligning, contact HP support. For more information, see
HP support.
● Align the printhead when the printer status page shows streaking or white lines through any of the
blocks of color, or if you are having print quality issues with your printouts.
The printer automatically aligns the printhead during the initial setup.
NOTE: Cleaning uses ink, so clean the printhead only when necessary. The cleaning process takes a few
minutes. Some noise might be generated in the process.
Always use the Power button to turn o the printer. Turning the printer o improperly can cause print quality
problems.
To clean or align the printhead
1. Load Letter or A4 unused plain white paper into the input tray. For more information, see Load paper.
2. From the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab at the top of the screen to open the
Dashboard, and then touch ( Setup ).
3. Touch Printer Maintenance , select the desired option, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
NOTE: You can also do the same from the HP printer software or embedded web server (EWS). To
access the software or EWS, see Open the HP printer software (Windows) or Open the embedded web
server.
