Chapter 15 To clean the print cartridge contacts 1. Turn on the HP All-in-One and open the print-carriage access door. The print carriage is on the far right side of the HP All-in-One. 2. Wait until the print carriage is idle and silent, and then unplug the power cord from the back of the HP All-in-One. Caution When you unplug the power cord for more than 72 hours, the date and time are erased. You will need to reset the date and time later, when you plug the power cord back in. For more information, see Set the date and time. Any faxes stored in memory are also erased. 3. Lift one of the latches to the open position, and then remove the print cartridge. Caution Do not remove both print cartridges at the same time. Remove and clean each print cartridge one at a time. Do not leave a print cartridge outside the HP All-in-One for more than 30 minutes. 4. Inspect the print cartridge contacts for ink and debris buildup. 5. Dip a clean foam rubber swab or lint-free cloth into distilled water, and squeeze any excess water from it. 6. Hold the print cartridge by its sides. 7. Clean only the copper-colored contacts. For information on cleaning the ink nozzle area, see Clean the area around the ink nozzles. Maintain your HP All-in-One 1 Copper-colored contacts 2 Ink nozzles (do not clean) 8.

Clean the area around the ink nozzles If the HP All-in-One is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris might accumulate inside the device. This debris can include dust, hair, carpet, or clothing fibers. When debris gets on the print cartridges, it can cause ink streaks and smudges 164 HP Officejet 7200 All-in-One series
