The printout is blank

Cause: The original is placed incorrectly on the glass.

Solution: Place your original print side down on the left front corner of the glass.

Cause: The print cartridges need to be cleaned or might be out of ink.

Solution: Check the estimated ink levels remaining in the print cartridges. If the print cartridges are low or out of ink, you might need to replace the print cartridges.

If there is ink remaining in the print cartridges, but you are still noticing a problem, print a self-test report to determine if there is a problem with the print cartridges. If the self-test report shows a problem, clean the print cartridges. If the problem persists, you might need to replace the print cartridges.

A borderless copy has white space around the edges

Cause: You are trying to make a borderless copy of a very small original.

Solution: When you make a borderless copy of a very small original, the HP All-in- One enlarges the original up to a maximum percentage. This might leave white space around the edges. (The maximum percentage varies by model.)

Depending on the size of the borderless copy you are trying to make, the minimum size of the original varies. For example, you cannot enlarge a passport photo to create a letter-size borderless copy.
