Improve print quality

1.Make sure you are using genuine HP cartridges.

2.Check the print properties to make sure you have selected the appropriate paper type and print quality from the Media drop-down list. In the Printer Software, click Print and Scan and then click Set Preferences to access the print properties.

3.Check the estimated ink levels to determine if the cartridges are low on ink. For more information, see Check the estimated ink levels. If the print cartridges are low on ink consider replacing them.

4.Align the printer cartridges

To align the cartridges from the Printer Software

NOTE: Aligning the cartridges ensures high-quality output. The HP All-in-One prompts you to align the cartridges every time you install a new cartridge. If you remove and reinstall the same print cartridge, the HP All-in-One will not prompt you to align the print cartridges. The HP All-in-One remembers the alignment values for that print cartridge, so you do not need to realign the print cartridges.

a. Load letter or A4 unused plain white paper into the input tray.

b. In the Printer Software, click Print and Scan and then click Maintain Your Printer to access the Printer Toolbox.

c. The Printer Toolbox appears.

d. Click Align Printheads on the Device Services tab. The product prints an alignment sheet. e. Load the cartridge alignment sheet print side down on the right front corner of the glass.

f. Follow the instructions on the printer display to align the cartridges. Recycle or discard the cartridge alignment sheet.

5.Print a diagnostics page if the cartridges are not low on ink.
