HP P2050 manual Toner specks, Dropouts, Vertical lines, Gray background

Toner specks

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

● The printer might need to be cleaned. ● The print cartridge might be defective.

Dropouts

● A single sheet of media might be defective. Try reprinting the job.

● The media moisture content is uneven or the media has moist spots on its surface. Try printing with new media.

● The media lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different type or brand of media.

● The print cartridge might be defective.

Vertical lines

The photosensitive drum inside the print cartridge has probably been scratched. Install a new HP print cartridge.

Gray background

● Change the media to a lighter basis weight.

● Check the printer's environment. Very dry (low humidity) conditions can increase the amount of background shading.

● The density setting might be too high. Adjust the density setting.

● Install a new HP print cartridge.
