Check the device settings to make sure that the print mode and paper selection is correct for the paper and the task. For more information, see “Set the paper type for printing” on page 43 and “Choose papers for printing and copying” on page 32.
For more information on print cartridges, see “Troubleshoot print cartridges” on page 95. Cause: The paper is too close to the print cartridge during printing. Solution: If the paper is too close to the print cartridge during printing, the ink might be smeared. This can happen if the paper is raised, wrinkled, or very thick, such as a mailing envelope. Make sure the paper lays flat in the input tray and is not too wrinkled.
Chapter 13 Use OpenType or TrueType fonts to ensure that the HP All-in-One is able to print smooth fonts. When selecting a font, look for the TrueType or OpenType icon. The printout has a horizontal band of distortion near the bottom of the page Cause: Your image has light blue, gray, or brown hues that print near the bottom of the page. Solution: Load high-quality paper in the input tray and print the image with a high print quality setting, such as Best, Maximum dpi, or High Resolution.
Solution: Load the paper with the print side down. For example, if you are loading glossy photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side down. For more information, see: “Load full-size paper” on page 35 Cause: You are using non-HP ink. Solution: HP recommends that you use genuine HP print cartridges. Genuine HP print cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce great results, time after time. NOTE: HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP ink.
