Printouts have vertical streaks

Cause: The paper type is not suitable for the HP All-in-One.

Solution: Use HP Premium Papers or any other paper type that is appropriate for the HP All-in-One.

Printouts are slanted or skewed

Cause: The paper is not feeding properly or is loaded incorrectly.

Solution: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly. For more information, see:

“Load full-size paper” on page 65

Cause: More than one type of paper is loaded in the input tray.

Solution: Load only one type of paper at a time.

Cause: The rear door might not be securely installed.

Solution: Make sure the rear door is securely installed.

Ink is overspraying the paper when I print a photo

Cause: A small amount (a few millimeters) of overspray is common when making a copy of a photo. If there are more than a few millimeters of overspray, it might mean the HP All-in-One thinks the paper loaded is wider than it actually is.

TIP: One way to tell if ink is overspraying the paper is to check the back side of pages you print after running a copy or print job. If the back side of the page has ink streaks, the HP All-in-One might have over sprayed your previous copy or print job.

Solution: Check the paper size setting. Set the paper size to match the paper loaded in the input tray.
