Chapter 14 If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 5: Check the print settings Solution: Check the print settings. • Check the print settings to see if the color settings are incorrect. For example, check to see if the document is set to print in grayscale. Or, check to see if advanced color settings such as saturation, brightness, or color tone, are set to modify the appearance of colors. • Check the print quality setting and make sure it matches the type of paper loaded in the product. You might need to choose a lower print quality setting, if colors are running into each other. Or, choose a higher setting if you are printing a high-quality photo, and then make sure photo paper such as HP Advanced Photo Paper, is loaded in the input tray. NOTE: On some computer screens, colors might appear differently than they do when printed on paper. In this case, there is nothing wrong with the product, print settings, or ink cartridges. No further troubleshooting is required. For more information, see: • "Change the saturation, brightness, or color tone" on page 77 • "Change the print speed or quality" on page 76 • "Choose papers for printing and copying" on page 60 Cause: The print settings were set incorrectly.

For more information, see: "Align the printer" on page 128 Cause: The printer needed to be aligned. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 7: Clean the printhead Solution: If the previous solutions did not resolve the issue, try cleaning the printhead. Troubleshooting 162 Troubleshooting
