Eco

Hewlett-Packard is committed to providing quality products in an environmentally sound manner. Design for recycling has been incorporated into this product. For more information, see

Environmental product stewardship program.

HP is committed to helping customers reduce their environmental footprint. HP has provided these features to help you focus on ways to assess and reduce the impact of your printing choices.

For more information about HP's environmental initiatives, visit

www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/

Manage Power

To conserve electricity, the printer comes with the following features:

• Sleep mode Power usage is reduced while in Sleep mode. After initial setup of printer, the

printer will enter Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. The time to Sleep mode cannot be changed.

• Auto Power-Off Auto Power-Off is automatically enabled by default when you turn on the printer.

When Auto Power-Off is enabled, the printer will automatically turn off after 8 hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use. Auto Power-Off is automatically disabled when the printer establishes a wireless or Ethernet (if supported) network connection. You can change the Auto Power-Off setting from the printer software. Once you change the setting, the printer will maintain the setting that you choose. Auto Power-Off turns the printer off completely, so you must use the power button to turn the printer back on.

Windows: Open Toolbox. (For more information, see

Toolbox (Windows).) In the Advanced Settings tab, click Change, and then select the preferred amount of time.

Mac OS X: Open HP Utility. (For more information, see

HP Utility (Mac OS X).) In the Printer Settings section, click Power Management, and then select the preferred amount of time.

TIP: If you are printing through a wireless or Ethernet connection over a network, Auto Power-Off should be disabled to ensure that print jobs do not get lost. Even when Auto Power-Off is disabled, the printer will enter a Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity to help reduce energy use.

NOTE: The printer’s Sleep Mode and Auto Power-Off features are temporarily not available if one or more of the ink cartridges are missing. After the cartridge is reinstalled, these features resume.

CAUTION: HP recommends that you replace any missing cartridges as soon as possible to avoid print quality issues and possible extra ink usage or damage to the ink system. Never turn off the printer when ink cartridges are missing.

Conserve Printing Supplies

To conserve printing supplies such as ink and paper, try the following:

• Change the print mode to a draft setting. Draft setting uses less ink.

• Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.

• Reduce paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper. You can first print just the odd pages, flip the pages over, and then print just the even pages.

In addition to the model name that appears on the front of the printer, this printer has a specific model number. You can use this number when obtaining support and to help determine which supplies or accessories are available for your printer.

The model number is printed on a label located on the inside of the ink cartridge access door, near the ink cartridges area.

Select print media

HP recommends plain papers with the ColorLok logo for printing and copying of everyday documents. All papers with the ColorLok logo are independently tested to meet high standards of reliability and print quality, and produce documents with crisp, vivid color, bolder blacks and dry faster than ordinary plain papers. Look for papers with the ColorLok logo in a variety of weights and sizes from major paper manufacturers.

Usage information collection

The HP cartridges used with this product contain a memory chip that assists in the operation of the product.

In addition, this memory chip collects a limited set of information about the usage of the product, which might include the following: the date when the cartridge was first installed, the date when the cartridge was last used, the number of pages printed using

Usage information collection 33

Page 38

the cartridge, the page coverage, the printing modes used, any printing errors that might have occurred, and the product model. This information helps HP design future products to meet our customers' printing needs.

The data collected from the cartridge memory chip does not contain information that can be used to identify a customer or user of the cartridge or their product.

HP collects a sampling of the memory chips from cartridges returned to HP's free return and recycling program (HP Planet Partners:

www.hp.com/recycle). The memory chips from this sampling are read and studied in order to improve future HP products. HP partners who assist in recycling this cartridge might have access to this data, as well.

Any third party possessing the cartridge might have access to the anonymous information on the memory chip. If you prefer to not allow access to this information, you can render the chip inoperable. However, after you render the memory chip inoperable, the cartridge cannot be used in an HP product.

If you are concerned about providing this anonymous information, you can make this information inaccessible by turning off the memory chip's ability to collect the product's usage information:

To turn off usage information collection

▲

On the product control panel, press and hold

(Resume) button and

(Wireless) button until the ink cartridge lights blink, approximately five seconds,

and then release the buttons.

NOTE: If you turn off the memory chip's ability to collect the product's usage information, you can still continue to use the cartridge in the HP product.

Check the power and power connections

Make sure the printer is connected firmly to a functioning alternating current (AC) power outlet. For voltage requirements, see

Electrical specifications.

Alignment fails

If the alignment process fails, make sure you have loaded unused, plain white paper into the input tray. If you have colored paper loaded in the input tray when you align the printer, the alignment fails.

If the alignment process fails repeatedly, you may need to clean the printhead, or you might have a defective sensor. To clean the printhead, see

Clean the printhead.

If cleaning the printhead does not solve the problem, contact HP support. Go to www.hp.com/go/customercare. This website provides information and utilities that can help you correct many common printer problems. If prompted, select your country/ region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical support.

The printer is not responding (nothing prints)

Page 45

Check the cable connections

• Make sure both ends of the USB cable or Ethernet cable are secure.

• If the printer is connected to a network, check the following:

◦ Check the Link light on the back of the printer. ◦ Make sure you are not using a phone cord to connect the printer.

Check any personal firewall software installed on the computer

The personal software firewall is a security program that protects a computer from intrusion. However, the firewall might block communication between the computer and the printer. If there is a problem communicating with the printer, try temporarily disabling the firewall. If the problem persists, the firewall is not the source of the communication problem. Re-enable the firewall.

The printer prints slowly

Try the following solutions if the printer is printing very slowly.

•

Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting

•

Solution 2: Check the ink levels

•

Solution 3: Contact HP support

Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting

Solution: Check the print quality setting. Best and Maximum dpi provide the

best quality but are slower than Normal or Draft. Draft provides the fastest print speed.

Cause: The print quality was set to a high setting.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 2: Check the ink levels

Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges.

NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes

only. When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until prompted to do so.

The printer can operate with one or more depleted cartridges. However, printing with depleted cartridges slows the printer and affects the quality of printed documents. If the black cartridge is depleted, blacks are not as dark. If a color cartridge is depleted, output is in grayscale. When possible, replace the depleted cartridge. Do not remove the depleted cartridge until you have a new ink cartridge

Solve printer problems 41

Page 46

available to replace. For information about how to install new cartridges, see Replace the ink cartridges.

Clean the printhead.

For more information, see:

Check the estimated ink levels

Cause: The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink. Insufficient ink may cause the printhead to overheat. When the printhead overheats, the printer slows down to allow it to cool.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 3: Contact HP support

Solution: Contact HP support for service.

Go to:

www.hp.com/go/customercare. This website provides information and

utilities that can help you correct many common printer problems.

If prompted, choose your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical support.

Cause: There was a problem with the printer.

The printer is making some unexpected noises

You might hear some unexpected noises made by the printer. These are the servicing sounds when the printer performs automatic servicing functions to maintain the health of the printheads.

NOTE: To prevent any potential damage to your printer:

Do not turn off the printer while the printer is performing any servicing. If you are turning off the printer, wait for the printer to come to a complete stop before turning

off using the

(Power) button. For more information, see Turn the printer off.

Make sure all ink cartridges are installed. If any of the ink cartridge is missing, the printer will perform extra servicing to protect the printheads.

Blank or partial page printed

Clean the printhead

Complete the printhead cleaning procedure. For more information, see

Clean the printhead. The printhead may need to be cleaned if the printer was turned off incorrectly.

NOTE: Incorrectly turning off the printer can cause print quality problems like blank or partial pages. Printhead cleaning can solve these problems, but turning off the printer correctly can prevent them in the first place. Always turn the printer off

by pressing

(Power) button on the printer. Wait until the Power light goes out

before unplugging the power cord or turning off a power strip.

Check the media settings

• Make sure you select the correct print quality settings in the printer driver for the

media loaded in the trays.

• Make sure the page settings in the printer driver match the page size of media

loaded in the tray.

More than one page is being picked

For more information, see

Solve paper-feed problems.

There is a blank page in the file

Check the file to make sure there is no blank page.

Something on the page is missing or incorrect

Check the Print Quality Diagnostic page

Print a Print Quality Diagnostic page to help you decide whether to run any maintenance tools to improve the print quality of your printouts.

Check the margin settings

Make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of the printer. For more information, see

Set minimum margins.

Check the color print settings Make sure Print in Grayscale is not selected in the printer driver.

Check the printer location and length of USB cable

High electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by USB cables) can sometimes cause slight distortions to printouts. Move the printer away from the source of the electromagnetic fields. Also, it is recommended that you use a USB cable that is less than 3 meters (9.8 feet) long to minimize the effects of these electromagnetic fields.

Check the paper size

Make sure the selected paper size matches the actual loaded paper size.

Solve printer problems 43

Page 48

Placement of the text or graphics is wrong

Check how the media is loaded

Make sure the media width and length guides fit snugly against the edges of the stack of media, and make sure the tray is not overloaded. For more information, see

Load

media.

Check the media size

• Content on a page might be cut off if the document size is larger than the media that you are using.

• Make sure the media size selected in the printer driver matches the size of media loaded in the tray.

Check the margin settings

If the text or graphics are cut off at the edges of the page, make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of your printer. For more information, see

Set minimum margins.

Check the page-orientation setting

Make sure the media size and page orientation selected in the application match the settings in the printer driver. For more information, see

Print.

Check the printer location and length of USB cable

If the above solutions do not work, the problem may be caused by the inability of the application to interpret print settings correctly. See the release notes for known software conflicts, refer to the application's documentation, or contact the software manufacturer for specific help.

Page 49

Solution 1: Make sure you are using genuine HP ink cartridges

Solution: Check to see if your ink cartridges are genuine HP ink cartridges.

HP recommends that you use genuine HP ink cartridges. Genuine HP ink cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce great results, time after time.

NOTE: HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP supplies. Printer service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply are not covered under warranty.

If you believe you purchased genuine HP ink cartridges, go to:

www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit

Cause: Non-HP ink cartridges were being used.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 2: Check the ink levels

Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges.

NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes

only. When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until prompted to do so.

NOTE: The printer can operate with one or more depleted cartridges. However, printing with depleted cartridges slows the printer and affects the quality of printed documents. If the black cartridge is depleted, blacks are not as dark. If a color cartridge is depleted, output is in grayscale. When possible, replace the depleted cartridge. Do not remove the depleted cartridge until you have a new ink cartridge available to replace. For information about how to install new cartridges, see

Replace the ink cartridges.

Clean the printhead.

For more information, see:

Check the estimated ink levels

Cause: The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Print quality troubleshooting 45

Page 50

Solution 3: Check the paper loaded in the input tray

Solution: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly and that it is not wrinkled or

too thick.

• Load paper with the print side facing down. For example, if you are loading

glossy photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side down.

• Make sure the paper lays flat in the input tray and is not wrinkled. If the paper is

too close to the printhead during printing, the ink might be smeared. This can happen if the paper is raised, wrinkled, or very thick, such as a mailing envelope.

For more information, see:

Load media

Cause: The paper was loaded incorrectly, or it was wrinkled or too thick.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 4: Check the paper type

Solution: HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type with

ColorLok technology that is appropriate for the printer. All papers with the ColorLok logo are independently tested to meet high standards of reliability and print quality, and produce documents with crisp, vivid color, bolder blacks and dry faster than ordinary plain papers.

Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper.

Store specialty media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag. This prevents the photo paper from curling.

NOTE: For this issue, there is not a problem with your ink supplies. Therefore, replacing the ink cartridges is not necessary.

For more information, see:

Select print media

Cause: The wrong kind of paper was loaded in the input tray.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Chapter 5

46 Solve a problem

Page 51

Solution 5: Check the print settings

Solution: Check the print settings.

• Check the print settings to see if the color settings are incorrect. For example, check to see if the document is set to print in grayscale. Or, check

to see if advanced color settings such as saturation, brightness, or color tone, are set to modify the appearance of colors.

• Check the print quality setting and make sure it matches the type of paper loaded in the printer.

You might need to choose a lower print quality setting if colors are running into each other. Or, choose a higher setting if you are printing a high-quality photo, and then make sure photo paper such as HP Advanced Photo Paper is loaded in the input tray.

NOTE: On some computer screens, colors might appear differently than they do when printed on paper. In this case, there is nothing wrong with the printer, print settings, or ink cartridges. No further troubleshooting is required.

For more information, see:

Select print media

Cause: The print settings were set incorrectly.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 6: Print and evaluate a print quality report

Solution:

To print a print quality report

•

Control panel: Press and hold the

(Power) button, press the (Cancel)

button seven times, press the

(Resume) button two times, and then release

the

(Power) button.

• Embedded web server: Click the Tools tab, click Print Quality Toolbox under Utilities, and then click the Print Quality Report button.

• HP Utility (Mac OS X): In the Information And Support section, click Print Quality Diagnostics, and then click Print.

Step 1: Make sure your computer is connected to your network

Make sure your computer is connected to your network—either your wired (Ethernet) network or your wireless network. If the computer is not connected to the network, you cannot use the printer over the network.

To check a wired (Ethernet) connection

▲ Many computers have indicator lights beside the port where the Ethernet cable

from the router connects to your computer. Usually there are two indicator lights, one that is on and another that blinks. If your computer has indicator lights, check to see if the indicator lights are on. If the lights are not on, try reconnecting the Ethernet cable to the computer and the router. If you still do not see lights, there might be a problem with the router, the Ethernet cable, or your computer.

NOTE: Macintosh computers do not have indicator lights. To check the Ethernet connection on a Macintosh computer, click System Preferences in the Dock, and then click Network. If the Ethernet connection is working correctly, Built-in Ethernet appears in the list of connections, along with the IP address and other status information. If Built-in Ethernet does not appear in the list, there might be a problem with the router, the Ethernet cable, or your computer. For more information, click the Help button in the window.

To check a wireless connection

1. Make sure that your computer's wireless has been turned on. (For more

information, see the documentation that came with your computer.)

2. If you are not using a unique network name (SSID), then it is possible that your wireless computer could be connected to a nearby network that is not yours.

The following steps can help you determine if your computer is connected to your network.

Windows a. Click Start, click Control Panel, point to Network Connections, and then click

View Network Status and Tasks.

- or Click Start, select Settings, click Control Panel, double-click Network

www.hp.com/sbso/wireless/tools-setup.html?

jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN. (This website is only available in English.)

Step 2: Make sure that the printer is connected to your network

If your printer is not connected to the same network as your computer, you cannot use the printer over the network. Follow the steps described in this section to find out if your printer is actively connected to the correct network.

NOTE: If your wireless router or Apple AirPort Base Station is using a hidden SSID, your printer cannot automatically detect the network.

A: Make sure the printer is on the network

1. If the printer supports Ethernet networking and is connected to an Ethernet

network, make sure an Ethernet cable is not plugged into the back of the printer. If an Ethernet cable is plugged into the back, then wireless connectivity is disabled.

2. If the printer is connected to a wireless network, print the printer's Wireless Configuration page. For more information, see

Understand the network

configuration page.

3. After the page has been printed, check the Network Status and URL:

Network Status

•

If the Network Status is Ready, the printer is actively connected to a network.

•

If the Network Status is Offline, the printer is not connected to a network. Run the Wireless Network Test (using the instructions at the beginning of this section) and follow any recommendations.

URL The URL shown here is the network address

assigned to the printer by your router. You need this to connect to the embedded web server.

Solve wireless problems 55

Page 60

For information about connecting the printer to a wireless network, see Set up the printer for wireless communication.

B: Check to see if you can access the EWS

▲ After you establish that the computer and the printer both have active connections

to a network, you can verify if they are on the same network by accessing the printer's EWS. For more information, see

Embedded web server.

To access the EWS a. On your computer, open the EWS. For more information, see

Embedded web

server.

NOTE: If you are using a proxy server in your browser, you might need to disable it to access the EWS.

b. If you can open the EWS, try using the printer over the network (such as to

print) to see if your network setup was successful. If you cannot open the EWS or are still having problems using the printer over

the network, continue to the next section regarding firewalls.

Step 3: Check to see if the firewall software is blocking communication

If you cannot access the EWS and are sure both the computer and printer have active connections to the same network, the firewall security software might be blocking communication. Temporarily turn off any firewall security software running on your computer and then try to access the EWS again. If you can access the EWS, try using the printer (for printing).

If you are able to open the EWS and use your printer with the firewall turned off, you need to reconfigure your firewall settings to allow the computer and printer to communicate with each other over the network. For more information, see

Configure

your firewall software to work with the printer.

If you are able to open the EWS, but are still unable to use the printer even with the firewall turned off, try setting the firewall software to recognize the printer.

Step 4: Make sure the printer is online and ready

If you have the HP software installed, you can check the printer’s status from your computer to see if the printer is paused or offline, preventing you from using it.

To check the printer’s status, complete the following steps:

Windows

1. Click Start, and then click Printers or Printers and Faxes or Devices and Printers.

- Or Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Printers.

2. If the printers on your computer are not being displayed in Details view, click the View menu, and then click Details.

Chapter 5

56 Solve a problem

Page 61

3. Do one of the following, depending on the printer status: a. If the printer is Offline, right-click the printer, and click Use Printer Online. b. If the printer is Paused, right-click the printer, and click Resume Printing.

4. Try using the printer over the network.

Mac OS X

1. Click System Preferences in the Dock, and then click Print & Fax or Print & Scan.

2. Select the printer, and then click Open Print Queue.

3. If the print job is on hold, click Resume.

4. If the printer is paused, click Resume Printer.

If you can use the printer after performing the steps above but find that the symptoms persist as you continue to use the printer, your firewall might be interfering.

If you still cannot use the printer over the network, continue to the next section for additional troubleshooting help.

Step 5: Make sure the wireless version of the printer is set as the default printer driver (Windows only)

If you install the HP software again, the installer might create a second version of the printer driver in your Printers or Printers and Faxes or Devices and Printers folder. If you have difficulties printing or connecting to the printer, make sure the correct version of the printer driver is set as the default.

1. Click Start, and then click Printers or Printers and Faxes or Devices and Printers.

- Or Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Printers.

2. Determine if the version of the printer driver in the Printers or Printers and Faxes or Devices and Printers folder is connected wirelessly:

a. Right-click the printer icon, and then click Properties, Document Defaults, or

Printing Preferences.

b. On the Ports tab, look for a port in the list with a checkmark. The version of the

printer driver that is connected wirelessly has Standard TCP/IP Port as the Port description, next to the checkmark.

3. Right-click the printer icon for the version of the printer driver that is connected wirelessly, and select Set as Default Printer.

NOTE: If there is more than one icon in the folder for the printer, right-click the printer icon for the version of the printer driver that is connected wirelessly, and select Set as Default Printer.

Step 6: Make sure your computer is not connected to your network over a Virtual Private Network (VPN)

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a computer network that uses the Internet to provide a remote, secure connection to an organization’s network. However, most VPN services do not allow you to access local devices (like your printer) on your local network while your computer is connected to the VPN.

Solve wireless problems 57

Page 62

To connect to the printer, disconnect from the VPN.

TIP: To use the printer while connected to the VPN, you can connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable. The printer uses its USB and network connections at the same time.

For more information, contact your network administrator or the person who set up the wireless network.

After resolving the problems

After you resolve any problems and have successfully connected the printer to your wireless network, complete the following steps for your operating system:

Windows

1. On the computer desktop, click Start, select Programs or All Programs, click HP, select your printer name, and then click Printer Setup & Software.

2. Click Connect a new printer, and then select the type of connection you want to

use.

Mac OS X

1. Open HP Utility. For more information, see

HP Utility (Mac OS X).

2. Click the Applications icon on the HP Utility toolbar, double-click HP Setup Assistant, and then follow the onscreen instructions.

Configure your firewall software to work with the printer

A personal firewall, which is security software running on your computer, can block network communication between your printer and your computer.

If you are having problems such as:

• Printer not found when installing HP software

• Unable to print, print job stuck in queue or printer goes offline

• Unable to see printer status on your computer

The firewall might be preventing your printer from notifying computers on your network where it can be found.

If you are using the HP software on a computer running Windows and cannot find the printer during installation (and you know the printer is on the network)—or if you have already successfully installed HP software and experience problems—check the following:

• If you have just installed the HP software, try turning off your computer and the printer, and then turning them both on again.

• Keep your security software up to date. Many security software vendors provide updates that correct known issues and provide the latest defenses against new security threats.

• If your firewall has "High," "Medium," or "Low" security settings, use the "Medium" setting when your computer is connected to your network.

• If you have changed any firewall settings from default, try going back to the default setting.

Chapter 5

58 Solve a problem

Page 63

• If your firewall has a setting called "trusted zone," use this setting when your computer is connected to your network.

• If your firewall has a setting to "not show alert messages," you should disable this. When installing the HP software and using the HP printer you may see alert messages from your firewall software that provide options to "allow," "permit" or "unblock." You should allow any HP software that causes an alert. Also, if the alert has a "remember this action" or "create a rule for this" selection, select it. This is how the firewall learns what can be trusted on your network.

• Do not have more than one firewall enabled at the same time on your computer. An example would be having both the Windows firewall provided by the operating system and a third party firewall enabled at the same time. Having more than one firewall enabled at the same time will not make you computer any safer and may cause problems.

Printhead maintenance

If you are experiencing problems with printing, you might have a problem with the printhead. You should perform the procedures in the following sections only when directed to do so for resolving print quality issues.

Performing the aligning and cleaning procedures unnecessarily can waste ink and shorten the life of the cartridges.

This section contains the following topics:

•

Clean the printhead

•

Align the printhead

Clean the printhead

If your printed output is streaked or has any incorrect or missing colors, the printhead might need to be cleaned.

There are two stages of cleaning. Each stage lasts about two minutes, uses one sheet of paper, and uses an increasing amount of ink. After each stage, review the quality of the printed page. You should only initiate the next phase of cleaning if the print quality is poor.

If print quality still seems poor after you complete both stages of cleaning, try aligning the printer. If print quality problems persist after cleaning and aligning, contact HP support. For more information, see

HP support.

NOTE: Cleaning uses ink, so clean the printheads only when necessary. The cleaning process takes a few minutes. Some noise might be generated in the process. Before cleaning the printheads, make sure you load paper. For more information, see

Page 73

TIP: If you notice poor print quality, clean the printhead. For more information, see Clean the printhead.

To clear a jam

Use these steps to clear a paper jam.

1. Remove all media from the output tray.

2. Push the handle of the rear access panel and slide to the right, and then pull the

panel towards you.

CAUTION: Trying to clear a paper jam from the front of the printer can damage the print mechanism. Always access and clear paper jams through the rear access panel.

3. Gently pull the paper out of the rollers.

CAUTION: If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers, check

the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be remaining inside the printer. If you do not remove all the pieces of paper from the printer, more paper jams are likely to occur.

4. Replace the rear access panel. Gently push the door forward until it snaps into place.

5. Check the front of the printer. a. Open the ink cartridge access door. b. If there is paper remaining inside the printer, ensure the carriage has moved to

the right of the printer, free any paper scraps or wrinkled media, and pull the media towards you through the top of the printer.

Clear jams 69

Page 74

c. Move the carriage to the left, locate any jammed media inside the printer on the

right side of the carriage, free any paper scraps or wrinkled media, and pull the media towards you through the top of the printer.

WARNING! Do not reach into the printer when it is on and the carriage is stuck. When you open the ink cartridge access door, the carriage should return to its position on the right side of the printer. If it does not move to the right, turn off the printer before you remove any jam.

6. After clearing the jam, close all covers, turn on the printer (if you turned it off) and resend the print job.

Avoid paper jams

To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.

• Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.

• Make sure that you are printing with media that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged.

• Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag.

• Do not use paper that is too thick or too thin for the printer.

• Make sure that the tray is loaded correctly and is not too full. For more information, see

Load media.

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

• Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.

Chapter 5

70 Solve a problem

Page 75

• 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.

• Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.

• If you are printing on both sides of a page, do not print highly saturated images on light weight paper.

• Use paper types that are recommended for the printer. For more information, see Media specifications.

• Make sure that the printer is clean.

a. Improper maintenance or modification; b. Software, media, parts, or supplies not provided or supported by HP; c. Operation outside the product's specifications; d. Unauthorized modification or misuse.

4. For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP cartridge or a refilled cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer. However, if printer failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled cartridge or an expired ink cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials charges to service the printer for the particular failure or damage.

5. If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any product which is covered by HP's warranty, HP shall either repair or replace the product, at HP's option.

6. If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective product which is covered by HP's warranty, HP shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund the purchase price for the product.

8. Any replacement product may be either new or like-new, provided that it has functionality at least equal to that of the product being replaced.

9. HP products may contain remanufactured parts, components, or materials equivalent to new in performance.

10. HP's Limited Warranty Statement is valid in any country where the covered HP product is distributed by HP. Contracts for additional warranty services, such as on-site service, may be available from any authorized HP service facility in countries where the product is distributed by HP or by an authorized importer.

D. Local law

1. This Warranty Statement gives the customer specific legal rights. The customer may also have other rights which vary from state to state in the United States, from province to province in Canada, and from country to country elsewhere in the world.

2. To the extent that this Warranty Statement is inconsistent with local law, this Warranty Statement shall be deemed modified to be consistent with such local law.

For example, some states in the United States, as well as some governments outside the United States (including provinces in Canada), may:

a. Preclude the disclaimers and limitations in this Warranty Statement from limiting the statutory rights of a consumer

(e.g., the United Kingdom); b. Otherwise restrict the ability of a manufacturer to enforce such disclaimers or limitations; or c. Grant the customer additional warranty rights, specify the duration of implied warranties which the manufacturer

cannot disclaim, or allow limitations on the duration of implied warranties.

3. THE TERMS IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY PERMITTED, DO NOT

EXCLUDE, RESTRICT, OR MODIFY, AND ARE IN ADDITION TO, THE MANDATORY STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO THE SALE OF THE HP PRODUCTS TO SUCH CUSTOMERS.
