To print successfully, the HP cartridges should be functioning properly with sufficient ink, the paper should be loaded correctly, and the printer should have the appropriate settings. Print settings do not apply to copying or scanning.

Tips for print success

Ink tips

●Use Original HP ink cartridges.

●Install both the black and tri-color cartridges correctly.

For more information, see Replace ink cartridges on page 59.

●Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges to make sure there is sufficient ink. For more information, see Check estimated ink levels on page 56.

●If the print quality is not acceptable, see Improve print quality on page 74 for more information.

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 a paper jam.

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

●Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays 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.

For more information, see Load media on page 20.
