Cleaning the fuser
Run the printer cleaning page to keep the fuser free of toner and
paper particles that can sometimes accumulate. Accumulation of
toner and particles can cause specks to appear on the front or back
side of your print jobs (see “Specks” on page 130).
To ensure optimum print quality, HP recommends that you use the
cleaning page every time you replace the toner cartridge or on an
automatic schedule that you can set up.
You can run a cleaning page in two ways:
● manually as needed from the printer control panel
● automatically according to an interval that you set
The cleaning procedure takes about 2.5 minutes to complete. A
message on the control appears while the cleaning is taking place
(either
PROCESSING CLEANING PAGE
or
PROCESSING AUTO CLEANING
PAGE
).
Running the cleaning page manually
In order for the cleaning page to work properly, print the page on
copier grade paper (not bond, heavy, or rough paper).
To run the cleaning page manually:
1 At the printer control panel, press M ENU until
PRINT QUALITY
MENU
appears.
2 Press I TEM until
CREATE CLEANING PAGE
appears.
3 Press S ELECT to create the cleaning page. A page with a black
stripe prints.
4 Follow the instructions on the cleaning page to complete the
cleaning process.
