Ẇ Click Clean the Print Cartridges and follow the directions on the screen.
If the print quality improves by going through this sequence once, but the quality is
still not quite good enough, try going through the procedure again. Start at step 1, or
click on the “Intermediate Clean” button on the last cleaning window. There is no
harm done but a little wasted time and ink.
But if these steps do not improve the print quality, your print cartridges might be low
on ink. Replace the print cartridges.
Also, dust fibers occasionally drag through the wet ink and streak it. If problems
persist, continue to Procedure 2.
Procedure 2: Eliminating ink streaks
Customers using HP DeskJet printers in dusty environments
might occasionally experience ink streaks because of a
small accumulation of debris inside the printer. This debris
can include dust, hair, carpet, or clothing fibers. Ink streaking
is easily prevented or corrected by cleaning two areas of the
printer: the print cartridges and the print cartridge cradle.
Materials you will need to clean your printer
Before you begin, make sure you have the following materials available:
■ Cotton swabs or any soft material that will not come apart or leave fibers (for
example, a piece of clean cotton cloth).
■ Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water might contain contaminants that can
damage the print cartridges).
■ Scrap paper or paper towels to set the print cartridges on while you are working.
CAUTION Be careful not to get ink on your hands or clothing.
