Order supplies

Cartridge is low: The printer indicates when a toner cartridge level is low. Actual toner cartridge life remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now.

Continue printing with the current cartridge until redistributing the toner no longer yields acceptable print quality. To redistribute the toner, remove the toner cartridge from the printer and gently rock the cartridge back and forth end to end. Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer and close the cover.

Cartridge is very low: The printer indicates when the toner cartridge level is very low. Actual toner cartridge life remaining may vary. To extend the life of the toner, gently rock the cartridge back and forth end to end. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.

Once an HP toner cartridge has reached Very Low, HP’s Premium Protection Warranty on that toner cartridge has ended.

Change the “Very Low” settings

You can change the way the printer reacts when supplies reach the Very Low state. You do not have to reestablish these settings when you install a new toner cartridge.

Product does not pick up paper or misfeeds

Introduction

The following solutions can help solve problems if the printer is not picking up paper from the tray or is picking up multiple sheets of paper at one time. Either of these situations can result in paper jams.

●

The printer does not pick up paper

The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper

The printer does not pick up paper

If the printer does not pick up paper from the tray, try these solutions.

1. Open the printer and remove any jammed sheets of paper. Verify that no torn remnants of paper remain

inside the printer.

2. Load the tray with the correct size of paper for the job.

3. Make sure the paper size and type are set correctly on the printer control panel.

ENWW Product does not pick up paper or misfeeds 83

4. Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to the

appropriate indentation in the tray. The arrow on the tray guide should line up exactly with the marking on the tray.

NOTE: Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations or

markings in the tray.

The following images show examples of the paper-size indentations in the trays for various printers. Most HP printers have markings similar to these.

Figure 6-2 Size markings for cassette trays

84 Chapter 6 Solve problems ENWW

5. Verify that the humidity in the room is within specications for this printer and that paper is being stored in

unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.

In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.

In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this happens, remove the paper from the tray, and ex the stack by holding it at each end and bringing the ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.

Figure 6-3 Technique for exing the paper stack

6. Check the printer control panel to see if it is displaying a prompt to feed the paper manually. Load paper,

and continue.

7. The rollers above the tray might be contaminated. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened with

warm water. Use distilled water, if it is available.

CAUTION: Do not spray water directly on to the printer. Instead, spray water on the cloth or dab the cloth

in water and wring it out before cleaning the rollers.

The following image shows examples of the roller location for various printers.

Figure 6-4 Roller locations for Tray 1 or the multipurpose tray

The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper

If the printer picks up multiple sheets of paper from the tray, try these solutions.

1. Remove the stack of paper from the tray and ex it, rotate it 180 degrees, and ip it over. Do not fan the

paper. Return the stack of paper to the tray.

ENWW Product does not pick up paper or misfeeds 85

NOTE: Fanning the paper introduces static electricity. Instead of fanning the paper, ex the stack by

holding it at each end and bringing the ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.

Figure 6-5 Technique for exing the paper stack

2. Use only paper that meets HP specications for this printer.

3. Verify that the humidity in the room is within specications for this printer, and that paper is being stored in

unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.

In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this happens, remove the paper from the tray, and ex the stack as described above.

4. Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. If necessary, use paper from a dierent package.

86 Chapter 6 Solve problems ENWW

5. Make sure the tray is not overlled by checking the stack-height markings inside the tray. If it is overlled,

remove the entire stack of paper from the tray, straighten the stack, and then return some of the paper to the tray.

The following images show examples of the stack-height markings in the trays for various printers. Most HP printers have markings similar to these. Also make sure that all sheets of paper are below the tabs near the stack-height marks. These tabs help hold the paper in the correct position as it enters the printer.

6. Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to the

appropriate indentation in the tray. The arrow on the tray guide should line up exactly with the marking on the tray.

NOTE: Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations or

markings in the tray.
