The amount of background toner
shading becomes unacceptable. The media might not meet
HP specifications. Use a different paper with a lighter
basis weight. See
Media specifications .
The single-sheet priority input tray
might be installed incorrectly. Make sure that the single-sheet priority
input tray is in place.
The print-density setting is too high. Decrease the print-density setting
through HP ToolboxFX or the
embedded Web server. This decreases
the amount of background shading.
Very dry (low humidity) conditions can
increase the amount of background
shading. Check the all-in-one environment.
The print cartridge might be low. If you
are using a non-HP print cartridge, no
messages appear on the all-in-one
control panel or in the HP ToolboxFX. Replace the print cartridge. See
Changing the print cartridge .
Toner smears appear on the media. The media might not meet
HP specifications. Use media that meets
HP specifications. See

If toner smears appear on the leading
edge of the paper, the media guides
are dirty, or debris has accumulated in
the print path. Clean the media guides and the paper
