HP Photosmart C7200 Series - Manual (Page 193)

Cause: The copy or print paper type setting is incorrect.
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. Always make
sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use
HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.
If the problem persists, use the software you installed with the HP All-in-One or
another software application to rotate your image 180 degrees so that the light blue,
gray, or brown hues in your image do not print at the bottom of the page.

“Information on paper” on page 171
Cause: The print head needs to be cleaned.
Solution: Clean the print head, and then print a self-test report. Check the color
blocks in the report for any problems. If the color blocks show print quality problems,
perform a printer alignment.
If the problem persists after cleaning and aligning, contact HP support for help. Go
to:

If prompted, choose your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information
on calling for technical support.

Cause: You are using non-HP ink.
Solution: HP recommends that you use genuine HP ink cartridges. Genuine HP
ink 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. Printer
service or repairs required as a result of printer failure or damage attributable to
the use of non-HP ink will not be covered under warranty.
The text edges are jagged
Cause: The font is a custom size.
Solution: Some software applications offer custom fonts that have jagged edges
when enlarged or printed. Also, if you want to print bitmapped text, it might have
jagged edges when enlarged or printed.
Use TrueType or OpenType 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.
