Make sure you have the following materials available:
• Dry foam rubber swabs, lint-free cloth, or any soft material that will not
come apart or leave fibers.
• Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water might contain contaminants
that can damage the print cartridges).
Caution! Do not use platen cleaners or alcohol to clean the print
cartridge contacts. These can damage the print cartridge or the
HP PSC.

The print carriage will be on the far right side of the HP PSC. Wait for the

unplug the power cord from the back of the HP PSC.
