Cleaning the printer media path
If you are experiencing toner specks or dots on the printouts, you can use the HP LaserJet
cleaning utility to remove excess media and toner particles that can accumulate on the fuser
assembly and rollers. Cleaning the media path might extend the life of the printer.
Note
For best results use a sheet of transparency. If you do not have any transparencies, you can use copier
grade media (18 to 24 lb. or 70 to 90 g/m

) with a smooth surface.
