Always use a paper type and weight that this product supports. In addition, follow these guidelines when selecting paper:

Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.

Use paper that has not been previously printed on.

Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in inkjet printers.

Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.

Check the product environment

Verify that the product is operating within the environmental specifications listed in the product Warranty and Legal Guide.

Check the EconoMode settings

HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade and is no longer acceptable, consider replacing the toner cartridge.

NOTE: This feature is available with the PCL 6 print driver for Windows. If you are not using that driver, you can enable the feature by using the HP Embedded Web Server.
