Tips for print success

To print successfully, the HP cartridges should be functioning properly with sufficient ink, the paper

should be loaded correctly, and the printer should have the appropriate settings. Print settings do not

apply to copying or scanning.

Ink tips

Use Original HP ink cartridges.

Install both the black and tri-color cartridges correctly.

For more information, see

Replace ink cartridges on page 59

.

Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges to make sure there is sufficient ink.

For more information, see

Check estimated ink levels on page 56

.

If the print quality is not acceptable, see

Improve print quality on page 74

for more information.

Paper loading tips

Load a stack of paper (not just one page). All of the paper in the stack should be the same size

and type to avoid a paper jam.

Load paper with side to be printed on facing up.

Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat, and the edges are not bent or torn.

Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the

paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
