Print-quality checklist General print-quality problems can be solved by using the following checklist: 1. Make sure that the paper or print media that you are using meets specifications. Generally, smoother paper provides better results. 2. If you are using a special print media such as labels, transparencies, glossy, or letterhead, ensure that you have printed by type. 3. Print a Configuration page and Supplies Status page at the device. See Special pages. ● Check the Supplies Status page to see if any supplies are low or empty. No information is provided for non-HP print cartridges. ● If the pages do not print correctly, the problem is with the hardware. Contact HP Customer Care. See HP Customer Care or the flyer that came in the device box. 4. Print a Demo page from the HP Toolbox. If the page prints, the problem is with the printer driver. 5. Try printing from a different program. If the page prints correctly, the problem is with the program from which you were printing. 6. Restart the computer and the device 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 Solving issues with color documents.
