Note Running the cleaning page automatically Use the following procedure to set the printer to print cleaning pages automatically at an interval that you select. In order for the cleaning page to run without intervention, you must keep the selected size and the plain paper type available in the printer. The printer will not interrupt a printing job in process to run a cleaning page. HP recommends that the cleaning-page interval be set at 2,000 pages (or fewer) to make sure that excess toner is removed from the printer. This ensures good print quality. If you have an optional duplexer installed, make sure that automatic cleaning option is turned not selected. Run cleaning pages only manually. See "Running the cleaning page manually" on page 56.

The printer automatically prints a cleaning page at the interval and on the page size that you selected. You can discard the output page that the cleaning process creates. The printer will not interrupt a printing job in progress to automatically run the cleaning page. The printer will run the cleaning page immediately after the completing job in which the selected cleaning interval occurred. Cleaning spilled toner Defective or worn print cartridges can develop leaks. Also, after a jam has occurred, some toner might remain on the rollers and guides inside the printer. The pages that print immediately after the jam might pick up this toner. Clean spilled toner with a cloth that has been dampened with cold water. Do not touch the transfer roller with the damp cloth or with your fingers. Do not use a vacuum cleaner unless it is equipped with a micro-fine particle filter.
