For more information, see: • "Set the paper type for printing" on page 47 • "Change the print speed or quality" on page 48 • "Print using Maximum dpi" on page 54 Cause: The paper type or print quality settings were set incorrectly. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 2: Check the paper type Solution: HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type that is appropriate for the product. Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper. Store photo media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag. This will prevent the photo paper from curling. For more information, see: • "Recommended papers for printing" on page 29 • "Information on paper" on page 101 Cause: The wrong kind of paper was loaded in the input tray. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 3: Clean the printhead Solution: If the previous solutions did not resolve the issue, try cleaning the printhead.
