HP Officejet 5605 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 87)

The HP All-in-One aligns the print cartridges. Recycle or discard the print
cartridge alignment sheet.
For information on aligning the print cartridges by using the HP Image Zone software
that came with your HP All-in-One, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help that came
with your software.
Clean the print cartridges
Use this feature when the self-test report shows streaking, white lines through any of
the lines of color or when a color is muddy after installing a print cartridge for the first
time. Do not clean print cartridges unnecessarily, as this wastes ink and shortens the
life of the ink nozzles.

Load letter or A4 unused plain white paper into the input tray.
2. Press Setup .
3. Press 6 , then press 1 .
This selects Tools and then selects Clean Print Cartridge .
The HP All-in-One prints a page that you can recycle or discard.
If copy or print quality still seem poor after you clean the print cartridges, try
cleaning the print cartridge contacts before replacing the affected print cartridge.
For information on cleaning the print cartridge contacts, see

cartridge contacts . For information on replacing the print cartridges, see Replace

For information on cleaning the print cartridges by using the HP Image Zone software
that came with your HP All-in-One, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help that came
with your software.
Clean the print cartridge contacts
Clean the print cartridge contacts only if you get repeated messages on the control
panel display prompting you to check a print cartridge after you already have cleaned
or aligned the print cartridges.
Before cleaning the print cartridge contacts, remove the print cartridge and verify that
nothing is covering the print cartridge contacts, then reinstall the print cartridge. If you
continue to get messages to check the print cartridges, clean the print cartridge
contacts.
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.
Tip Coffee filters are lint-free and work well for cleaning print cartridges.
● Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water might contain contaminants that can
damage the print cartridges).
