How to Clean the Scanner Glass

The software also provides troubleshooting tips and helpful information. HP All-in-One Printers are reliable and easy to operate and, best of all, require very little maintenance. One thing you can do keep your scans, faxes and copies looking crisp and clear is to regularly clean the scanner glass. Fingerprints, smudges, hair and dust on the scanner glass can slow down performance and affect the accuracy of some of the scanner’s features including the Fit to Page function. Cleaning the scanner glass is easy to do and only takes a couple of minutes.
