Maintaining and Replacing Printheads
If you notice a decline in print quality, such as lines or dots
missing from printed text or graphics, it does not mean that
your ink cartridges have low ink levels. It may be an
indication that your printheads need to be cleaned.
To clean the printheads
1 Open the HP 2000C Toolbox. For details, see
“Using the HP 2000C Toolbox” in the “Using Your
Printer Driver Software” section of this User’s Guide.
2 Click the Services tab.
3 Select Clean the Printheads , and follow the
instructions on your computer screen.
Replacing a Printhead
The HP selection number on ink cartridges and printheads
makes it easy for you to find the correct HP printing
supplies for your HP 2000C printer. Determine the color of
the printhead you need, then make sure you purchase or
order an HP No.
Printhead for that color. See “Ordering
Parts and Accessories” in this User’s Guide for printhead
part numbers and ordering information.

NOTE:
Do not clean a printhead
unnecessarily, as this wastes
ink and shortens the life of
the printhead.
NOTE:
Do not permanently remove a
printhead until you are ready
to replace it. The printer will
not print unless all printheads
are in place and in good
working condition. However,
you can temporarily remove
and reinsert a printhead into
its socket as part of a
troubleshooting process.
