The printer prints slowly Try the following solutions if the printer is printing very slowly. • Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting • Solution 2: Check the ink levels • Solution 3: Contact HP support Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting Solution: Check the print quality setting. Best and Maximum dpi provide the best quality but are slower than Normal or Draft. Draft provides the fastest print speed. Cause: The print quality was set to a high setting. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 2: Check the ink levels Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges. NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low on ink message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until prompted to do so. NOTE: The printer can operate with one or more depleted cartridges. However, printing with depleted cartridges slows the printer and affects the quality of printed documents. If the black cartridge is depleted, blacks are not as dark. If a color cartridge is depleted, output is in grayscale. When possible, replace the depleted cartridge. Do not remove the depleted cartridge until you have a new ink cartridge available. For information about how to install new cartridges, see Replace the ink cartridges. CAUTION: Wait until you have a new ink cartridge available before removing the old ink cartridge. Do not leave the ink cartridge outside of the printer for an extended period of time. This can result in damage to both the printer and the ink cartridge. NOTE: While ink cartridges are not damaged when left outside of the printer, the printhead does need to have all cartridges installed at all times after the printer is set up and in use. Leaving one or more cartridge slots empty for an extended period may lead to print quality problems and possibly damage the printhead. If you have recently left a cartridge out of the printer for an extended period and have noticed poor print quality, clean the printhead. For more information, see Clean the printhead. For more information, see: Check the estimated ink levels Cause: The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink. Insufficient ink may cause the printhead to overheat. When the printhead overheats, the printer slows down to allow it to cool. Solve printer problems 47

The printer prints slowly
Try the following solutions if the printer is printing very slowly.
•
Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting
•
Solution 2: Check the ink levels
•
Solution 3: Contact HP support
Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting
Solution:
Check the print quality setting.
Best
and
Maximum dpi
provide the
best quality but are slower than
Normal
or
Draft
.
Draft
provides the fastest print
speed.
Cause:
The print quality was set to a high setting.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Check the ink levels
Solution:
Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges.
NOTE:
Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes
only. When you receive a low on ink message, consider having a replacement
cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace
the ink cartridges until prompted to do so.
NOTE:
The printer can operate with one or more depleted cartridges.
However, printing with depleted cartridges slows the printer and affects the
quality of printed documents. If the black cartridge is depleted, blacks are not as
dark. If a color cartridge is depleted, output is in grayscale. When possible,
replace the depleted cartridge. Do not remove the depleted cartridge until you
have a new ink cartridge available. For information about how to install new
cartridges, see
Replace the ink cartridges.
CAUTION:
Wait until you have a new ink cartridge available before removing
the old ink cartridge. Do not leave the ink cartridge outside of the printer for an
extended period of time. This can result in damage to both the printer and the
ink cartridge.
