Maintain the printer body
Because the HP Deskjet ejects ink onto the paper in a fine mist, ink smudges will
eventually appear.
To remove smudges, stains, or dried ink from the exterior
1.
Turn off the HP Deskjet, and then disconnect the power cord.
2.
Wipe the outside of the HP Deskjet with a soft cloth that has been lightly moistened
with water.
Caution
Do not use any type of cleaning solution. Household cleaners and
detergents might damage the printer finish. Keep all fluids away from the interior.
Do not lubricate the metal rod on which the print cartridge cradle slides. Noise is
normal when the cradle moves back and forth.
