Chapter 14 Print a self-test report If you are experiencing problems with printing, print a self-test report before you replace the print cartridges. This report provides useful information on several aspects of your device, including your print cartridges. 1 Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the input tray. 2 Press Setup. 3 Press 2, then press 5. This selects Print Report and then selects Self-Test Report. The HP all-in-one prints a self-test report, which might indicate the source of the printing problem. A sample of the ink test area of the report is shown below. 4 Make sure the test patterns are even and show a complete grid. If more than a few lines in a pattern are broken, this might indicate a problem with the nozzles. You might need to clean the print cartridges. For more information, see Clean the print cartridges. 5 Make sure the lines of color extend across the page. If the black line is missing, faded, streaked, or shows lines, this might indicate a problem with the black or photo print cartridge in the right slot. If any of the remaining three lines are missing, faded, streaked, or show lines, this might indicate a problem with the tri-color print cartridge in the left slot. 6 Make sure the color blocks have even consistency and are representative of the colors listed below. You should see cyan, magenta, yellow, violet, green, and red color blocks. If color blocks are missing, or if a block of color is muddy or does not match the label indicated below the block, this might indicate that the tri-color print cartridge is out of ink. You might need to replace the print cartridge. For more information on replacing print cartridges, see Replace the print cartridges. Note For examples of test patterns, lines of color, and color blocks from normal and malfunctioning print cartridges, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help that came with your software. 108 HP Officejet 6200 series all-in-one

Print a self-test report

If you are experiencing problems with printing, print a self-test report before you

replace the print cartridges. This report provides useful information on several aspects

of your device, including your print cartridges.

Self-Test Report

The HP all-in-one prints a self-test report, which might indicate the source of the

printing problem. A sample of the ink test area of the report is shown below.

Make sure the test patterns are even and show a complete grid.

If more than a few lines in a pattern are broken, this might indicate a problem with

the nozzles. You might need to clean the print cartridges. For more information,

see

Clean the print cartridges

Make sure the lines of color extend across the page.

If the black line is missing, faded, streaked, or shows lines, this might indicate a

problem with the black or photo print cartridge in the right slot.

If any of the remaining three lines are missing, faded, streaked, or show lines, this

might indicate a problem with the tri-color print cartridge in the left slot.

Make sure the color blocks have even consistency and are representative of the

colors listed below.

You should see cyan, magenta, yellow, violet, green, and red color blocks.

If color blocks are missing, or if a block of color is muddy or does not match the

label indicated below the block, this might indicate that the tri-color print cartridge

is out of ink. You might need to replace the print cartridge. For more information

on replacing print cartridges, see

Replace the print cartridges

Note

For examples of test patterns, lines of color, and color blocks from normal and

malfunctioning print cartridges, see the onscreen
