HP LaserJet P2050 Series Printer - Clean the product

Clean the outside of the printer with a clean, damp cloth when necessary.

caution:
Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around 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, and paper jams. To correct and prevent these types of problems, you can clean the print cartridge area and the printer media path.

Clean the print-cartridge area

You do not need to clean the print-cartridge area often. However, cleaning this area can improve the quality of your printed sheets.

warning:
To avoid injury, turn the product off, disconnect the power cord, and wait for the product to cool before cleaning it.

Open the print-cartridge door, and then remove the print cartridge.

To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light. Cover it with a piece of paper.
With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe any residue from the media-path area and the print-cartridge cavity.
