    Print-quality problems
    The following sections help identify and resolve print-quality issues.
    Identifying and correcting print defects
    Use the checklist and print-quality issues charts in this section to solve print-quality problems.
    Print-quality checklist
    Resolve general print-quality problems by using this checklist:
    1.Ensure the paper or print media used meets specifications. Generally, smoother paper provides
    better results.
    2.When using a special print media such as labels, transparencies, glossy, or letterhead, ensure that
    you have printed by type.
    3.Remove any toner build-up and run a cleaning page.
    4.Print a Configuration page and Supplies Status page at the MFP. See 
    Information pages.
    ●Check the Supplies Status page to verify that supplies are not low or empty. No information
    is provided for non-HP print cartridges.
    ●If the Configuration and Supplies Status pages do not print correctly, suspect a problem with
    the MFP printing components. Contact HP Customer Care. See 
    HP Customer Care or the
    flyer that came in the MFP box.
    5.Print a Demo page from the HP ToolboxFX. If the page prints, the problem is with the printer driver.
    Try printing from the other printer driver. For example, when using the PCL6 printer driver, print
    from the HP PostScript level 3 printer driver.
    Use the Add Printer Wizard in the Printers folder in Windows XP dialog box to install the HP
    PostScript level 3 driver.
    6.Try printing from a different program. If the page prints correctly, the problem is with the program
    from which you were printing.
    7.Restart the computer and the MFP and try printing again. If the problem is not resolved, choose
    one of these options:
    ●If the problem is affecting all printed pages, see 
    General print quality issues.
    ●If the problem is affecting only pages printed in color, see 
    Solve issues with printing color
    documents.
    General print quality issues
    The following examples depict letter-size paper that has passed through the MFP short edge first. These
    examples illustrate problems that could affect all of the pages that printed, whether it is color printing or
    black only. These topics list the typical cause and solution for each of these examples.

    Media-handling problems
    Use the information in this section when the MFP experiences media-handling problems.
    Print-media guidelines
    ● For best results, make sure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots,
    loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.
    ● For best-quality color printing, use a smooth type of paper. Generally, smoother media produces
    better results.
    ● Check the paper package label to ensure the type of paper you are loading (such as bond or
    recycled) is correct.
    ● Do not use media that is designed for Inkjet MFPs only. Use media that is designed for color
    LaserJet MFPs.
    ● Do not use letterhead paper that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some
    types of thermography.
    ● Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
    ● The MFP uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or
    preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature 210°C (410°F) for
    0.1 seconds).
    CAUTION
    Failure to follow these guidelines could cause jams or damage to the MFP.
