Cleaning the print cartridges
Cleaning your print cartridges can improve the quality of printing.
If your printed page is missing lines or dots, perform Procedure 1 below. If your
printed page contains streaked ink, perform Procedure 2.
Procedure 1: Correcting missing lines
or dots
Clean the print cartridges when you notice that the lines or
dots are missing from your printed text and graphics, as
shown on the left. The print cartridges can be cleaned from
the HP Toolbox.
NOTE Do not clean the print cartridges unnecessarily, as this wastes ink and shortens
the life of the print cartridge.
NOTE DOS users can clean the print cartridges from the HP DeskJet Control Panel for
DOS. Refer to “Printing from DOS” on page 56 for details.
To clean the print cartridges from the HP Toolbox:
Ẅ Double-click the HP Toolbox icon on the computer screen.
ẅ Click the Printer Services tab.
