Printer/Photocopier Maintenance

for HP Officejet d135

Once a month, if the printer has not been used, print a test page. Rationale: some sources say that leaving the printer unused for too long will cause the print heads to clog. Doing a monthly test will detect and possibly avoid this condition. It will also detect other problems which may have gone unnoticed.

Print a test page, by pressing “Menu 3 5”.

If the printer display says that the colour or black ink is low, replace the ink cartridge as described on page 63 of the Reference Guide. To avoid damage, do not leave printer without both ink cartridges inserted. Replacements are kept is a box with the printer (see PCSAR Doc-98).

If the colour smears come out uneven, reseat the print head (pages 59-61), clean the print heads using “Menu 7 2” (page 66), or replace the print head (page 61-63). Print heads are expensive $50. Contact Brett if you need help. To avoid damage, do not leave printer without all print heads inserted. Replacements are kept is a box with the printer (see PCSAR Doc-98).

Check and refill the inventory of Printer/Photocopier Supplies (see PCSAR Doc-98).

Examples:

Example 1: black print head clogged	Example 2: all print heads fine
