Improving print quality
This section provides information about identifying and correcting print defects.
Light or faded print
●
The toner supply is low. See
for more information.
●
The media might not meet HP's media specifications (for
example, the media is too moist or too rough). See
media considerations on page 11
for more information.
●
If the whole page is light, the print density adjustment is
too light or EconoMode might be turned on. Adjust the
print density, and disable EconoMode in the printer
properties. See
for more
information.
Toner specks
●
The media might not meet HP's media specifications (for
example, the media is too moist or too rough). See
media considerations on page 11

●
The printer might need to be cleaned. See
Cleaning the printer media path
for instructions.
Dropouts
●
A single sheet of media might be defective. Try reprinting
the job.
●
The media's moisture content is uneven or the media has
moist spots on its surface. Try printing with new media.

The media lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can
cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different type or
brand of media.
