Clean the HP All-in-One
To ensure that your copies and scans remain clear, you might need to clean the glass
and lid backing. You might also want to dust the exterior of the HP All-in-One.
Clean the glass
Glass that is dirty from fingerprints, smudges, hair, and dust on the main glass surface
slows down performance and affects the accuracy of some features.
To clean the glass
1. Turn off the HP All-in-One, unplug the power cord, and raise the lid.
2. Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a nonabrasive
glass cleaner.
Caution Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon tetrachloride
on the glass, since they can damage it. Do not place or spray liquid directly
on the glass. The liquid might seep under the glass and damage the device.
3. Dry the glass with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to prevent spotting.
4. Plug in the power cord, and then turn on the HP All-in-One.
Clean the lid backing
Minor debris can accumulate on the white document backing located underneath the lid
of the HP All-in-One.
