Check printer status You can check the current status of the printer in various ways: ● If you access the Embedded Web Server, you see information about the general status of the printer. ● The front panel has three top-level screens that you can move between by sliding your finger across. The main screen provides direct access to the main printer functions. Swipe left to the widget page and see the status of ink, paper supplies, and the job queue. If there are any current alerts, the upper row of the home screen shows the top-priority alert. Swipe down the dashboard to access the Status Center and take action. ● If you start the HP Utility and select your printer, you see a page of information describing the status of the printer and its paper and ink supplies. Clean the exterior of the printer Clean the outside of the printer and all other parts of the printer that you regularly touch as part of normal operation with a damp sponge or a soft cloth and a mild household cleaner such as non-abrasive liquid soap. WARNING! To avoid an electric shock, make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged before you clean it. Do not let water get inside the printer. CAUTION: Do not use abrasive cleaners on the printer. Maintain the ink cartridges During the normal lifetime of a cartridge, no specific maintenance is required. However, in order to maintain the best print quality, replace a cartridge when it reaches its expiration date. The printer's front panel notifies you when any cartridge reaches its expiration date. You can also check a cartridge's expiration date at any time: see Check printer status on page 173. See also Handling ink cartridges and printhead on page 161. Move or store the printer If you need to move or store the printer, prepare it correctly to avoid possible damage to it. To prepare the printer, follow the instructions below. IMPORTANT: If you move the printer long distances you must always put the drawer security locks on. Please contact HP authorized service personnel. 1. Anti-tilt supports can be only be removed for printer transportation, always assemble them again before use to avoid an overbalance risk. If you cannot move the printer because of the anti-tilt supports, please contact HP authorized service personnel. 2. Do not remove the ink cartridges or printhead when you store the printer. If you move the printer, remove the paper and ink cartridges, but not the printhead. 3. Make sure that no paper is loaded. 4. Turn off the printer. 5. Disconnect any cables connecting the printer to a network or a computer. 6. If the stacker seems likely to impede the movement of the printer through doorways, you can fold it out of the way by removing two screws. ENWW Check printer status 173
