Table 8-16 Image placement defects Description Sample Margins and skew: The image is not centered, or is skewed on the page. The defect occurs when the paper is not positioned properly as it is pulled from the tray and moves through the paper path. Table 8-17 Color plane registrations defects (color models only) Description Sample Color plane registrations: One or more color of the planes is not aligned with the other color planes. The primary error will typically occur with yellow. Table 8-18 Output defects Description Sample Output curl: Printed paper has curled edges. The curled edge can be along the short or long side of the paper. Two types of curl are possible: ● Positive curl: The paper curls toward the printed side. The defect occurs in dry environments or when printing high coverage pages. ● Negative curl: The paper curls away from the printed side. The defect occurs in high-humidity environments or when printing low coverage pages. Possible solutions 1. Reprint the document. 2. Remove the paper and then reload the tray. Make sure that all the paper edges are even on all sides. 3. Make sure that the top of the paper stack is below the tray full indicator. Do not overfill the tray. 4. Make sure that the paper guides are adjusted to the correct size for the paper. Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations or markings in the tray. 5. If the problem persists, go to www.hp.com/support. Possible solutions 1. Reprint the document. 2. From the printer control panel, calibrate the printer. 3. If a cartridge has reached a Very Low state or the printed output is severely faded, replace the cartridge. 4. If the problem persists, go to www.hp.com/support. Possible solutions 1. Reprint the document. 2. Positive curl: From the printer Embedded Web Server, select a heavier paper type. The heavier paper type creates a higher temperature for printing. Negative curl: From the printer Embedded Web Server, select a lighter paper type. The lighter paper type creates a lower temperature for printing. Try storing the paper in a dry environment prior or use freshly opened paper. 3. Print in duplex mode. 4. If the problem persists, go to www.hp.com/support. Troubleshoot print quality problems 57

From the printer
Embedded Web Server, select a
heavier paper type. The heavier paper
type creates a higher temperature for
printing.

paper type. The lighter paper type
creates a lower temperature for
printing. Try storing the paper in a
