Misformed characters

●If characters are improperly formed, producing hollow images, the media stock might be too slick. Try a different media. See Product media specifications for more information.

If characters are improperly formed, producing a wavy effect, the printer might need service. Print a configuration page. See Printing a configuration page for more information. If the characters are improperly formed, contact an HP-authorized dealer or service representative. See the support flyer that came with your product for more information on contacting HP.

Page skew

●Make sure that the media is loaded correctly and the media guides are not too tight or too loose against the media stack. See Installing and loading the media input trays for more information.

●The ADF input tray might be too full. See Loading originals to copy or scan for more information.

●Check the media type and quality. See Product media specifications for more information.
