Check paper 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 for 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.
