If you are seeing a faint image of the page repeated at
the bottom of the page or on the following page, you
should first make sure the Paper Type and Print Mode
settings are correct for the type of paper you are using.
If you continue to see ghost images on your print jobs,
set the Fuser Temp feature to one of the Alternate
settings . Try the Alternate 1 setting first and see if it
solves the problem. If you continue to see the problem,
try Alternate 2 and then Alternate 3. With the Alternate
2 and Alternate 3 settings you may see an extra delay
between jobs.

HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)
The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single driver that gives you instant access to
virtually any HP LaserJet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. It is built on
proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software
programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.
The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and then
customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically enables
features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing and stapling, so you do not need
to enable them manually.
NOTE: For more information about the UPD, see www.hp.com/go/upd.
