●
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.
Check the environment
Environmental conditions can directly affect print quality, and they are a common cause for paper-feeding
problems. Try the following solutions:
●
Move the product away from drafty locations, such as air-conditioning vents, or open windows or doors.
●
Make sure the product is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of product specifications.
●
Do not place the product in a confined space, such as a cabinet.
●
Place the product on a sturdy, level surface.
●
Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the product. The product requires good air flow on all
sides, including the top.
●
Protect the product from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue
inside the product.
Check the EconoMode settings
HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply
might outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade and is no longer
acceptable, consider replacing the toner cartridge.
NOTE:
This feature is available with the PCL 6 print driver for Windows. If you are not using that driver, you
can enable the feature by using the Embedded Web Server.
