If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 4: Check to see if the product is in ink-backup mode Solution: Check to see if the the product is printing in ink-backup mode, with only one print cartridge installed. If the product is in ink-backup mode, text and photo quality will differ from those printed when using both print cartridges. If you are satisfied with the print quality, continue printing in ink-backup mode. Or, replace the missing print cartridge. For more information, see: • "Ink-backup mode" on page 105 • "Replace the print cartridges" on page 99 Cause: A print cartridge was missing and the product was printing in ink-backup mode. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 5: Check the print settings Solution: Check the print settings. • Check the print settings to see if the color settings are incorrect. For example, check to see if the document is set to print in grayscale. Or, check to see if advanced color settings such as saturation, brightness, or color tone, are set to modify the appearance of colors. • Check the print quality setting and make sure it matches the type of paper loaded in the product. You might need to choose a lower print quality setting, if colors are running into each other. Or, choose a higher setting if you are printing a high-quality photo, and then make sure photo paper such as HP Premium Photo Papers, is loaded in the input tray. NOTE: On some computer screens, colors might appear differently than they do when printed on paper. In this case, there is nothing wrong with the product, print settings, or print cartridges. No further troubleshooting is required. For more information, see: • "Change the print speed or quality" on page 54 • "Recommended papers for printing and copying" on page 34 Cause: The print settings were set incorrectly. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 6: Clean or replace the print catridges Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the print cartridges.
