Manually cleaning the print cartridges If the printer is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris can accumulate on the print cartridge contacts. Gathering cleaning supplies You will need the following items to clean the print cartridges.
• Distilled water (tap water can contain contaminants that can damage the print cartridge)
• Cotton swabs or other soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the print cartridge

Cleaning instructions
1. Lightly moisten a cotton swab with distilled water and squeeze any excess water from the swab.
2. Wipe the print cartridge copper contacts with the cotton swab.
Caution: Do not touch the print cartridge ink nozzles. Touching the ink nozzles will result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.
3. Clean only the copper contacts
Repeat this process until no ink residue or dust appears on the swab that you use to clean the contacts.
4. Insert the print cartridges in the printer, and then close the printer cover

Maintaining print cartridges The following tips will help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality:
• Keep all print cartridges in their sealed packages until they are needed. Print cartridges should be stored at room temperature (15 to 35 degrees C or 59 to 95 degrees F).
• Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the print cartridge.
