User Manual

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.
Step two: Check the environment
The environment can directly aect print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding
issues. Try the following solutions:
Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.
Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specications.
Do not place the printer in a conned space, such as a cabinet.
Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.
Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer. The printer requires good air ow on all sides,
including the top.
Protect the printer from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue
inside the printer.
Step three: Set the individual tray alignment
Follow these steps when text or images are not centered or aligned correctly on the printed page when printing
from specic trays.
1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, swipe until the Settings menu displays. Touch the
Settings icon to open the menu.
2. Open the following menus:
General Settings
Print Quality
Image Registration
3. Touch the Tray button, and then select the tray to adjust.
4. Select Print Test Page, and then follow the instructions on the printed pages.
5. Select Print Test Page again to verify the results, and then make further adjustments if necessary.
6. Touch the Done button to save the new settings.
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 HP Embedded Web Server.
Follow these steps if the entire page is too dark or too light.
