Tips for print success

To successfully print, the HP cartridges should be functioning properly with sufficient ink, the paper should be loaded correctly, and the product should have the appropriate settings.

Cartridge tips

Use genuine HP ink cartridges.

Install both the black and tri-color cartridges correctly. For more information, see Replace the cartridges.

Check the estimated ink levels in the cartridges to make sure there is sufficient ink. For more information, see Check the estimated ink levels.

Paper loading tips

Load a stack of paper (not just one page). All of the paper in the stack should be the same size and type to avoid causing a paper jam.

Load paper with the side to be printed on facing up.

Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lies flat and the edges are not bent or torn.

Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
