Do not use paper-based wipes, as these might scratch the

backing.

5.

If further cleaning is needed, repeat the previous steps using isopropyl (rubbing)
alcohol, and wipe the backing thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any
residual alcohol.

Caution

Be careful not to spill alcohol on the glass or painted parts of the

HP All-in-One, as this might damage the device.

Clean the exterior

Use a soft cloth or slightly moistened sponge to wipe dust, smudges, and stains off
the case. The interior of the HP All-in-One does not require cleaning. Keep fluids
away from the control panel and the interior of the HP All-in-One.

Caution

To avoid damage to painted parts of the HP All-in-One, do not use

alcohol or alcohol-based cleaning products on the control panel, lid, or other
painted parts of the device.

Check the estimated ink levels

You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need to
replace an ink cartridge. The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink
remaining in the ink cartridges.

Tip

You can also print a self-test report to see if your ink cartridges might

need to be replaced. For more information, see

Print a self-test report

.

To check the ink levels from the idle screen on the color graphics display
➔ Look for six icons at the bottom of the color graphics display. The icons represent

the ink level remaining in each of the six color ink cartridges: black, yellow, light
cyan (blue), dark cyan, light magenta (pink), and dark magenta.
To see a larger, more accurate view of the ink levels, display the ink gauge from
the

Setup

menu. For more information, see

To check the ink levels from the

Setup menu

.

If you are using an ink cartridge containing non-HP ink, a question mark appears
instead of the ink drop in the icon for that cartridge. The HP All-in-One cannot
detect the amount of ink remaining in ink cartridges that contain non-HP ink.

Note

HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP ink. Printer

service or repairs required as a result of printer failure or damage
attributable to the use of non-HP ink will not be covered under warranty.

If an icon shows a hollow ink drop, the ink cartridge represented by that color icon
has very little ink remaining and will need to be changed soon. You might be able
to continue printing for a short period of time with ink remaining in the print head
assembly. Replace the ink cartridge when the

Replace Soon

warning message

appears on the color graphics display.
