Basic troubleshooting checklist

If you are experiencing problems with the printer, use the following checklist to identify the cause of the
problem:

Is the printer connected to power?

Is the printer on?

Is the printer in the Ready state?

Are all necessary cables connected?

Do any messages appear on the control panel?

Are genuine HP supplies installed?

Were recently replaced print cartridges installed correctly, and was the pull tab on the cartridge
removed?

For additional information about installation and setup, see the printer getting started guide.

Factors that affect printer performance

Several factors affect the time it takes to print a job:

Maximum printer speed, measured in pages per minute (ppm)

The use of special paper (such as transparencies, heavy paper, and custom-size paper)

Printer processing and download time

The complexity and size of graphics

The speed of the computer you are using

The USB connection

The printer I/O configuration

The amount of printer memory installed

The network operating system and configuration (if applicable)

Printer personality (PCL or PS)

NOTE

Although additional printer memory can resolve memory problems, improve how the

printer handles complex graphics, and improve download times, it will not increase maximum
printer speed (ppm).
