Visually inspect the imaging drum
Follow these steps to inspect the imaging drum.
1.Remove the imaging drum from the printer, and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.
2.Check the memory chip for damage (for example, broken edges or a scratched surface). The memory
chip is located on the part of the imaging drum that is closest to the reload port when the drum is
installed.
3.Examine the surface of the green roller on the imaging drum.
CAUTION: Do not touch the green roller on the imaging drum. Fingerprints on this surface can cause
print-quality problems.
4.If you see any scratches, ngerprints, or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the imaging drum.
5.Reinstall the imaging drum, and print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.
Check paper and the printing environment
Step one: Use paper that meets HP specications
Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specications.
●Make sure that the paper type, size, and weight are supported by the printer. See the printer support
page at support.hp.com for a list of the supported paper sizes and types for the printer.
●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.
●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.
If print quality issues persist on good quality paper that is within the HP specications, and you have also
tried the other recommended solutions, try using paper from a dierent package.
Step two: Check the environment
The environment can directly aect print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding
issues. Try the following solutions:
●Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.
●Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specications.
●Do not place the printer in a conned space, such as a cabinet.
ENWWImprove print quality65
Page 72
●Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.
●Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer. The printer requires good air ow on all sides,
including the top.
●Protect the printer from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue
inside the printer.
Adjust Print Density
Complete the following steps to adjust the print density.
1.Open the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS).
●Use the HP Smart app to access the EWS, if available.
●Use the HP Printer Assistant for Windows 7 systems.
●Press and hold the Resume button to print a conguration page, then navigate to the IP
address shown on the printer conguration page.
