If copy or print quality still seem poor after you clean the print cartridges,

try cleaning the print cartridge contacts before replacing the print

cartridge that is affected. For information on replacing print cartridges,

clean the print cartridge contacts

Clean the print cartridge contacts only if you get repeated front panel messages

prompting you to check a print cartridge after you already have cleaned or

aligned the print cartridges.

Before cleaning remove the cartridge and verify that nothing is covering the

print cartridge contacts then reinstall the cartridge. If you continue to get

messages to check the cartridges, clean the contacts.

Caution! Do not remove both print cartridges at the same time.

Remove and clean each print cartridge one at a time.

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 Fax.

1 Turn the HP Fax on and open the print-carriage access door.

2 After the carriage stops moving, unplug the power cord from the back of

the HP Fax.

3 Push down on the top of the print cartridge to release it, and then pull it

toward you out of its slot.

4 Inspect the print cartridge contacts for ink and debris buildup.

5 Dip a clean foam rubber swab or lint-free cloth into distilled water, and

squeeze any excess water from it.

6 Hold the print cartridge by its sides.
