Cleaning

Regularly clean the exterior of the printer with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. For print quality issues, consult the HP Smart app or the printer's maintenance menu for printhead cleaning and alignment options.

Troubleshooting

Connectivity Issues

If you experience Wi-Fi connectivity problems, the printer's self-healing dual-band Wi-Fi feature is designed to automatically detect and resolve common issues. Ensure your router is functioning correctly and the printer is within range. Restarting both the printer and your router can often resolve temporary network glitches.

Print Quality Problems

If prints appear faded, streaky, or incorrect colors, perform a printhead cleaning and alignment through the printer's control panel or the HP Smart app. Ensure genuine HP ink is used and ink tanks are adequately filled.

Follow the on-screen instructions if a paper jam occurs. Carefully remove any jammed paper from the input tray, output tray, or internal areas of the printer. Avoid tearing the paper to prevent small pieces from remaining inside.
