Tips for print success

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

Ink tips

Use original HP ink cartridges.

Install both the black and tri-color cartridges correctly.

For more information, see Replace ink cartridges on page 41.

Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges to make sure there is sufficient ink. For more information, see Check estimated ink levels on page 38.

If the print quality is not acceptable, see Improve print quality on page 58 for more information.

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 the paper with side to be printed on facing up.

Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.

Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.

For more information, see Load media on page 24.

Printer settings tips

On the Paper/Quality tab of the print driver, select the appropriate paper type and print quality from the Media drop-down list.

Select the appropriate paper size from the Paper Size drop-down list in the Advanced Options dialog box. Access the Advanced Options dialog box by clicking the Advanced button on the Layout or Paper/Quality tab.

repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply will not be covered under warranty. If you believe the purchased original HP ink cartridges, go to: www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit

Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only.

NOTE: When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a replacement ink cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until the print quality becomes unacceptable.
