Identify and correct print defects Use the checklist and print-quality issues charts in this section to solve print-quality problems. Print-quality checklist General print-quality problems can be solved by using the following checklist: 1. Make sure that the paper or print media that you are using meets specifications. Generally, smoother paper provides better results. 2. If you are using a special print media such as labels, transparencies, glossy, or letterhead, ensure that you have printed by type. 3. Print a Configuration page and Supplies Status page. See Print information pages on page 42. ● Check the Supplies Status page to see if any supplies are low or empty. No information is provided for non-HP print cartridges. ● If the pages do not print correctly, the problem is with the hardware. Contact HP Customer Care. See HP Customer Care on page 90 or the flyer that came in the box. 4. Print a Demo page from the HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series Toolbox. If the page prints, the problem is with the printer driver. 5. Try printing from a different program. If the page prints correctly, the problem is with the program from which you were printing. 6. Restart the computer and the product and try printing again. If the problem is not resolved, choose one of these options: ● If the problem is affecting all printed pages, see General print quality issues on page 73. ● If the problem is affecting only pages printed in color, see Solve issues with color documents on page 77. 72 Chapter 7 Solve problems ENWW
