Light print or faded

● The print cartridge is nearing end of life. ● Redistribute the toner to extend the life.

● The media might not meet Hewlett-Packard's media specifications (for example, the media is too moist or too rough).

● If the whole page is light, the print density adjustment is too light or EconoMode might be turned on. Adjust the print density, and disable EconoMode in the printer Properties.
