To print successfully, the HP cartridges should be functioning properly with sufficient ink, the paper should be loaded correctly, and the printer should have the appropriate settings. Print settings do not apply to copying or scanning.

Tips for print success

Ink tips

●Use Original HP ink cartridges.

●Install both the black and tri-color cartridges correctly.

For more information, see Replace the cartridges on page 69.

●Check the estimated ink levels in the cartridges to make sure there is sufficient ink. For more information, see Check the estimated ink levels on page 66.

●If the print quality is not acceptable, see Improve print quality on page 92 for more information.

●Always turn off the printer with the On button to allow the printer to protect the nozzles.

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 down.

●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 guides do not bend the paper in the paper tray.

For more information, see Load media on page 24.
