Read general instructions in the Help for resolving print quality issues NOTE: To protect the cartridges from drying out, always turn the printer off using the Power button, and wait until the Power button light goes out. To improve print quality (Windows) 1. Make sure you are using Original HP ink cartridges and HP recommended papers. 2. Check the printer software to make sure you have selected the appropriate paper type from the Media drop-down list and print quality in the Quality Settings area. In the printer software, click Print, Scan & Fax and then click Set Preferences to access the print properties. 3. Check the estimated ink levels to determine if the ink cartridges are low on ink. For more information, see Check estimated ink levels on page 74. If the ink cartridges are low on ink consider replacing them. 4. Check the paper type. For best print quality, use high quality HP paper, or papers that adhere to the ColorLok standard. For more information, see Paper basics on page 13. Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper. Store specialty paper 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 prevents the photo paper from curling. 5. Align the ink cartridges. To align the cartridges from the printer software a. Load letter or A4 unused plain white paper into the input tray. b. Open the printer software. For more information, see Open the HP printer software (Windows) on page 15. c. In the printer software, click Print, Scan & Fax , and then click Maintain Your Printer to access the printer toolbox. The printer toolbox appears. d. Click Align Ink Cartridges on the Device Services tab. The printer prints an alignment sheet. 108 Chapter 9 Solve a problem ENWW
