Check paper and the printing environment Use the following information to check the paper selection and the printing environment. Step one: Use paper that meets HP specifications Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications. ● Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports. ● Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges. ● Use paper that has not been previously printed on. ● Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter. ● Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in Inkjet printers. ● Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality. Step two: Check the environment The environment can directly affect print quality and is a common cause of print-quality or paperfeeding issues. Try the following solutions: ● Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents. ● Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specifications. ● Do not place the printer in a confined space, such as a cabinet. ● Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface. ● Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer.

Check paper and the printing environment

Use the following information to check the paper selection and the printing environment.

Step one: Use paper that meets HP specifications

Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications.

●

Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports.

●

Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles,

voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.

●

Use paper that has not been previously printed on.

●

Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.

●

Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in

Inkjet printers.

●

Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.

Step two: Check the environment

The environment can directly affect print quality and is a common cause of print-quality or paper-

feeding issues. Try the following solutions:

●

Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning

vents.

●

Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specifications.

●

Do not place the printer in a confined space, such as a cabinet.

●

Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.

●

Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer. The printer requires good air flow on all

sides, including the top.

●

Protect the printer from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave

residue inside the printer.

Step three: Set the individual tray alignment
