automatically cleaning print cartridges

If your printed pages are missing lines or dots, or if they contain ink streaks,
the print cartridges need to be cleaned.

Print cartridges are cleaned automatically using the following procedure:

1.

Click

Macintosh HD

>

Utilities

>

hp deskjet

>

hp deskjet utility

.

2.

Select the

Clean

panel, then click the

Clean

button.

Follow the on-screen directions.

If your printouts are still missing lines or dots after cleaning, the ink level may
be low in one or both of the print cartridges. If so, one or both print cartridges
may need to be replaced.

If ink streaks still appear on your printouts after cleaning, the print cartridges
and print cartridge cradle may need to be cleaned manually.

Only clean print cartridges when it is necessary. Unnecessary cleaning
wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridge.
