Specks

Specks

Specks might appear on a page after a jam has been cleared.

1Print a few more pages to see if the problem corrects itself.

2If this problem occurs frequently, set up your printer to run a cleaning page automatically (see “Cleaning the print paper path” on page 211.)

3Check for toner cartridge leaks. If the toner cartridge is leaking, replace it.

Stains or smudges

1Make sure the media you are using meets HP’s paper specifications (for example, it might be too moist or too rough).

2You might be printing on the wrong side of the media. Remove the media from the paper input tray, turn the stack over, and reinsert it. (The wrapper on many reams of paper has an arrow indicating the print side.)

3The product might need cleaning.

4The toner cartridge might be damaged. See “Ordering parts” on page 257 in HP’s paper specification guide.

5See “Cleaning the scanner path” on page 213 and “Cleaning the print paper path” on page 211.

6See “Managing HP LaserJet toner cartridges” on page 216. Replace the toner cartridge if maintenance procedures do not improve print quality.
