HP Color LaserJet CM1312/CM2320 Multifunction Printer series - Cleaning and Calibrating the Printer

How to Clean and Calibrate the device.

Cleaning the printer:

During the printing process, paper, toner and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. Over time, this buildup can cause print-quality problems such as toner specks or smearing. This printer has a cleaning mode that can correct and prevent these types of problems.

This printer has two processes for generating cleaning pages: one is automatically generated and another is manually generated. When a new black print cartridge is installed, a cleaning page will be automatically generated prior to calibration.

Cleaning the paper path:

The device features a special cleaning mode to clean the paper path.

Clean the paper path:

1. On the product control panel, press Setup.
2. Use the arrow buttons to select Service, and then press OK.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select Cleaning mode, and then press OK.
4. Load plain letter or A4 paper when prompted.
5. Press OK again to confirm and begin the cleaning process.

A page feeds through the printer slowly. Discard the page when the process is completed.

note:

Please run 3-4 cleaning pages in order to get better results.

Calibrating the printer:

Calibrations are performed at regular intervals. For best print quality, a calibration can be performed from the control panel using the following steps:
