Solving image-quality problems Use the following table to help solve problems with printed pages. See "Solving paper feed problems" in this chapter. Table 12. Solving image-quality problems Problem Parts of the page around the edges aren't printing. Cause The product cannot print to the edge of the paper. The product has minimum margins on each edge of 6.4 mm (0.25 inch). If printing or copying, the reduction setting is set incorrectly. Solution To get the image to fit into this printable area, slightly reduce the size of the image. For printing, check the reduction setting in the "Print" or "Setup" window from within the program you are using. Copied images will be clipped if the image on the original is too close to edge of the original. Images will not print. Copies or scanned images are too light or too dark. The product is not plugged in. The parallel cable is loose. The contrast is not set correctly. The product needs to be recalibrated. The original image is very light or very dark. The scanned image is too light or too dark because the original was on colored paper. Make sure that the product is plugged into a live wall outlet or power strip. Check that the parallel cable is securely connected between the product and the computer. Adjust the contrast and resolution settings from the HP LaserJet Director. Recalibrate the product. Adjust the resolution and contrast setting(s) from the toolbox on the HP LaserJet Director. If the original was on a colored paper, including brown recycled paper, the text might not be clear. Adjust the resolution, contrast, and brightness settings from the toolbox on the HP LaserJet Director. 156 Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting EN
