HP LASERJET PRO P1102w - Manual (Page 111)

Toner scatter outline
● If large amounts of toner have scattered around the
characters, the transfer of toner to the media is not
optimal. (A small amount of toner scatter is normal for
laser printing.) Try a different media type setting in the
printer driver, or use a different media type.
● Turn over the stack of media in the tray.
● Use media that is designed for laser printers.
Moisture
NOTE: This product dissipates heat by using convective
cooling. The heat and moisture generated by the printing
process escape through vents in the product exterior or
through the output bin area.
Verify normal product operation
The release of moisture is a result of normal product
operation. However, HP recommends using the following
steps to verify that the product is releasing steam and does not
have a functional problem.
1. Turn the product off, and then on.
2. Send a print job to the product, and then verify that the
product is operating correctly.
3. When printing a job and vapor is visible, immediately
reprint the job using the same sheet of paper. There
should be either no visible vapor, or much less vapor
during the printing process.
Limit or reduce steam or vapor
● Make sure that the product is placed in a well-ventilated
area that meets the environmental specifications in this
guide. See
Environmental specifications on page 118 .
● Do not place the product, or store paper, near an
outside entrance where temperature changes can
increase humidity.
● Use an unopened ream of paper that has not been
exposed to high humidity.
● Store paper in an airtight container, where it will be less
likely to absorb moisture.
