Check printer status

You can check the current status of the printer in various ways:

●

If you start the HP Utility and select your printer, you see a page of information describing the

status of the printer and its paper and ink supplies.

●

If you access the Embedded Web Server, you see information about the general status of the

printer. The Supplies page in the Main tab describes the status of the paper and ink supplies.

●

At the front panel, you can press

for information about paper, ink levels, ink cartridges, and

printheads. If there is a current problem, you are taken automatically to the area with the most

urgent problem.

If there are any current alerts, the upper row of the home screen shows the top-priority alert. Press

the alert message to see a list of all current alerts.

Clean the exterior of the printer

Clean the outside of the printer and all other parts of the printer that you regularly touch as part of

normal operation with a damp sponge or a soft cloth and a mild household cleaner such as non-

abrasive liquid soap.

WARNING!

To avoid an electric shock, make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged

before you clean it. Do not let water get inside the printer.

CAUTION:

Do not use abrasive cleaners on the printer.

Maintain the ink cartridges

During the normal lifetime of a cartridge, no specific maintenance is required. However, in order to

maintain the best print quality, replace a cartridge when it reaches its expiration date. The printer's

front panel notifies you when any cartridge reaches its expiration date.

You can also check a cartridge's expiration date at any time: see
