Hitachi C9295A#B1H Troubleshooting tips and resources, Alignment Patterns, If you see no defects

Alignment Patterns

If the color bars and large font text look OK, and the ink cartridges are not empty, look at the alignment pattern directly above the color bars.

Example of a good alignment pattern

The lines are straight.

Examples of a bad alignment pattern

The lines are jagged - align the printer. If that does not work, contact HP.

If you see no defects

If you do not see any defects on the print quality report, then the printing system is working correctly. There is no reason to replace supplies or have the product serviced, because they are functioning properly. If you still have a print quality problem, here are some other things you can check:

•Check the paper.

•Check the print settings.

•Make sure your image has sufficient resolution.

•If the problem seems confined to a band near the edge of your printout, use the software you installed with the product or another software application to rotate the image 180 degrees. The problem might not appear on the other end of the print.
