[. . . ] Wipe the outside of the printer with a soft cloth that has been lightly moistened with water. Caution 1 Do not use any type of cleaning solution. Household cleaners and detergents may damage the printer finish. Caution 2 Do not clean the interior of the printer. Caution 3 Do not lubricate the metal rod on which the print cartridge cradle slides. Noise is normal when the print cartridge cradle moves back and forth.
Cleaning the print cartridges
If you notice white lines or single-color streaks on the photos you print, the print cartridges might need to be cleaned. You can run an automatic cartridge cleaning procedure using the software that came with the printer. For more information, see the HP Photosmart Printer Help. If you complete all three levels of the automatic cartridge cleaning procedure and still see white streaks or missing colors on the test page, you may need to manually clean the print cartridge contacts. For more information, see the following section. Note If the cartridge or printer has been recently dropped, you may also see white streaks or missing colors in your prints. This problem is temporary and clears up within 24 hours.

Cleaning the print cartridge contacts
If the printer is used in a dusty environment, debris may accumulate on the print cartridge contacts and cause printing problems. To clean the print cartridge copper-colored contacts: 1. Gather the following items to clean the print cartridge contacts: Distilled water (tap water may contain contaminants that can damage the print cartridge) Cotton swabs or other soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the print cartridge 2. Remove the print cartridges and place them on a piece of paper with the ink nozzle plate facing up, being careful not to touch the copper-colored contacts or the ink nozzle plate with your fingers. Caution Do not leave the print cartridges outside the printer for more than 30 minutes. Ink nozzles exposed to the air longer than this may dry out and cause printing problems. Lightly moisten a cotton swab with distilled water and squeeze any excess water from the swab. Gently wipe the print cartridge contacts with the cotton swab. Caution Do not touch the print cartridge ink nozzle. Touching the ink nozzle will result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections. Repeat steps 4 - 5 until no ink residue or dust appears on a clean swab. [. . . ] For information about viewing the onscreen Help, see Welcome.
