Ink 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.

For more information, see Improve print quality.

If you are seeing ink smears on the back of the pages that you printed, use the Tools menu on the printer display to clean.

From the home screen, which displays Copy, Scan, and Quick Forms, press the Setup button.

NOTE: If you do not see the home screen, press the Back button until you can see it.

Scroll through the Tools menu until you see Clean Ink Smear, then select OK.

Follow the onscreen instructions.

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 paper tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.

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

For more information, see Load media.

Printer settings tips

On the Paper/Quality tab of the print driver, select the appropriate paper type and print quality from the Media drop-down list.

Select the appropriate size from the Paper Size drop-down list on the Paper/Quality tab.

Click the HP All-in-One desktop icon to open the Printer Software. In the Printer Software, click Printer Actions and then click Set Preferences to access the print driver.

NOTE: You can also access the Printer Software by clicking Start > Programs > HP > HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series > HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series

Notes

Genuine HP ink cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers and papers to help you easily produce great results, time after time.

NOTE: HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP supplies. Product service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply will not be covered under warranty.

If you believe you purchased genuine HP ink cartridges, go to:

Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only.

NOTE: When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.

Software settings selected in the print driver only apply to printing, they do not apply to copying or scanning.
