•

Cause: The wrong kind of paper was loaded in the input tray.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 4: Check the ink levels

Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges.

NOTE:

Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning

purposes only. When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a
replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need
to replace the ink cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.

For more information, see:

“Check the estimated ink levels” on page 60

Cause: The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 5: Check the print settings

Solution: Check the print settings.

•

Check the print settings to see if the color settings are incorrect.
For example, check to see if the document is set to print in grayscale. Or, check
to see if advanced color settings such as saturation, brightness, or color tone, are
set to modify the appearance of colors.

•

Check the print quality setting and make sure it matches the type of paper loaded
in the product.
You might need to choose a lower print quality setting, if colors are running into
each other. Or, choose a higher setting if you are printing a high-quality photo,
and then make sure photo paper such as HP Advanced Photo Paper, is loaded
in the input tray.

NOTE:

On some computer screens, colors might appear differently than they do

when printed on paper. In this case, there is nothing wrong with the product, print
settings, or ink cartridges. No further troubleshooting is required.

For more information, see:

•

“Change the saturation, brightness, or color tone” on page 35

•

“Change the print speed or quality” on page 34

•

“Choose papers for printing” on page 15

Cause: The print settings were set incorrectly.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
