Do not clean the cartridge more often than necessary, since cleaning uses up ink. Following the directions on the camera image display, load paper so the printer can print a test page after cleaning the cartridge. When the printer finishes cleaning the cartridge and prints a test page, check the test page and select from the following options: ­ If the test page has white streaks or missing colors, the print cartridge needs to be cleaned again. Select OK on the camera image display, and then press Menu/OK on the printer control panel. ­ If the print quality of the test page looks good, select Cancel on the camera image display, and then press Menu/OK. If you complete all three levels of cleaning using this procedure and you still notice white streaks or missing colors on the test page, you may need to clean the print cartridge copper-colored contacts. Note If the cartridge or printer has been recently dropped, you may also see white streaks or missing colors in your prints. This problem is temporary and clears up within 24 hours. Manually clean the print cartridge contacts If you use the printer in a dusty environment, debris may accumulate on the coppercolored contacts and cause printing problems. Gather the following items to clean the contacts: ­ Distilled water (tap water may contain contaminants that can damage the print cartridge) ­ Cotton swabs or other soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the print cartridge 2. If you are storing the printer for a long period of time and the optional HP Photosmart Internal Battery is installed, remove the battery from the printer. Store the print cartridge When you store or transport the printer, always leave the active print cartridge inside the printer. The printer stores the print cartridge in a protective cap during the power-down cycle. Caution Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you unplug the power cord or remove the internal battery. Follow these tips to help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality: Keep all unused print cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15­35° C or 59­95° F). Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the print cartridge.
