Chapter 7 Troubleshooting
Envelopes are wrinkling
Verify that the input tray is tray 1.
Verify that the output destination is the face-up bin.
Place the fuser levers in the up position and retry printing the envelopes.
Try different envelopes (make sure that the envelopes are within specifications; see the
HP
LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide
).
Fusing is poor
Make sure that the fuser levers are in the down position for cut-sheet media.
Make sure that all packing spacers are removed from inside of the printer.
Try different media (make sure that the media is within specifications; see the
HP LaserJet
Printer Family Print Media Guide
).
Make sure that the correct fusing mode for the media is set at the control panel.
Make sure that the ac power does not fluctuate out of range during the print cycle.
The printer feeds from an incorrect tray when different media is
selected for the first page of the job
Determine whether the problem is a hardware or a software issue (run a paper-path test from
each paper tray to eliminate the hardware; see
"Paper-path test" on page 213
).
If the paper-path test fails, troubleshoot the error message.
Make sure that the most current printer driver is installed (click the
Print Quality
tab on the
printer driver, and then click
About
).
Verify the custom-size-switch setting.
If the paper-path test works, the problem might be a software- or customer-related issue. Make
sure to define the media types that are loaded in each paper tray. This can be done from HP Web
Jetadmin if an HP Jetdirect print server is installed, or from the control panel. Use the
appropriate procedure from the following choices.
From HP Web Jetadmin:
1
Click the
Trays
tab.
