Tips for print success
Use the following tips to print successfully.
Print tips
•Use genuine HP cartridges. Genuine HP cartridges are designed for and tested with HP printers to help you
produce great results, time after time.
•Make sure the cartridges have sufficient ink. To check the estimated ink levels, follow the instruction in the
Tools menu on the display. Alternatively, you can check the ink levels in Printer Toolbox from the software.
•Load a stack of paper, not just one page. Use clean and flat paper of the same size. Make sure only one type
of paper is loaded at a time.
•Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guide
does not bend the paper in the input tray.
•Set the print quality and paper size settings according to the type and size of paper loaded in the input tray.
