Print with EconoMode
This product has an EconoMode option for printing drafts of documents. Using EconoMode can use less toner.
However, using EconoMode can also reduce print quality.

Check toner-cartridge status
Check the supplies status page for the following information:
● Estimated percentage of cartridge life remaining
●
Approximate pages remaining
● Part numbers for HP toner cartridges
●
Number of pages printed
Use the following procedure to print the supplies status page:
1.
From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Supplies button.
2.
Touch the Report button to print the supplies status page.
3.
Check the percent of life remaining for the toner cartridges and if applicable, the status of other replaceable maintenance parts.
Print quality problems can occur when using a toner cartridge that is at its estimated end of life. The supplies status page indicates when a supply level is very low. After an HP supply has reached the very low threshold, HP’s premium protection warranty on that supply has ended.
The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.
Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.
If you determine that you need to replace a toner cartridge or other replaceable maintenance parts, the supplies status page lists the genuine HP part numbers.
4.
Check to see if you are using a genuine HP cartridge.
A genuine HP toner cartridge has the words “HP” or “Hewlett-Packard” on it, or has the HP logo on it.
For more information on identifying HP cartridges go to www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies .
Hewlett Packard cannot recommend the use of non-HP supplies, either new or remanufactured.
Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence their design or control their quality. If you are using a refilled or remanufactured toner cartridge and are not satisfied with the print quality, replace the toner cartridge with a genuine HP toner cartridge.

Toner cartridge
Yellow
Cyan
Black

● If dots or streaks appear in only one of the groups, replace the toner cartridge that correlates with that group.
● If dots appear in more than one group, print a cleaning page. If this does not solve the problem, determine if the dots are always the same color; for example, if magenta dots appear in all five color bands. If the dots are all the same color, replace that toner cartridge.
● If streaks appear in multiple color bands, contact HP. A component other than the toner cartridge is probably causing the problem.
Clean the product
Print a cleaning page
During the printing process paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the product and can cause print-quality issues such as toner specks or spatter, smears, streaks, lines, or repeating marks.

Check paper and the printing environment
Step one: Use paper that meets HP specifications
Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications.
●
Always use a paper type and weight that this product supports.
● Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.
●
Use paper that has not been previously printed on.
ENWW Improve print quality 109
●
Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.
● Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in
Inkjet printers.
●
Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.
Step two: Check the environment
The environment can directly affect print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding issues. Try the following solutions:
●
Move the product away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.
● Make sure the product is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of product specifications.
●
Do not place the product in a confined space, such as a cabinet.
● Place the product on a sturdy, level surface.
●
Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the product. The product requires good air flow on all sides, including the top.
● Protect the product from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue inside the product.
Calibrate the product to align the colors
