HP 1200 series Basic Manual page 37

This section provides instructions for keeping your unit in top working condition.

Perform the maintenance procedures as necessary.

Use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth to wipe dust, smudges, and stains off the case. The

interior of the unit does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away from the interior of the

unit as well as the front panel.

Turn off the unit and unplug the power cord before cleaning. Even though the

unit is off, power is still being supplied if the cord is plugged in.

The Self-Test Report indicates whether the unit is operating properly.

Press Menu.

Press 3, and then press 5.

The unit prints a report, which contains the following:

•

Product information: Have this information available if you need to call

HP Customer Care for assistance.

•

Print-cartridge test patterns: The left patterns are for the black cartridge; the

right patterns are for the color cartridge. If there are gaps in the lines, clean the

print cartridges (for more information, see "Clean the print cartridges").

•

Print-cartridge fill patterns: If any of the lines are not solid (that is, they contain

gaps or streaks), one of the cartridges may be low on ink. Replace the

appropriate cartridge, and perform another self-test.

•

Margin indicators: The lines on each side, the top, and the bottom of the page

show the print margins.
