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.

Check the environment

Environmental conditions can directly affect print quality, and they are a common cause for paper-feeding

problems. Try the following solutions:

Move the product away from drafty locations, such as air-conditioning vents, or open windows or doors.

Make sure the product is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of product specifications.

Do not place the product in a confined space, such as a cabinet.

Place the product on a sturdy, level surface.

Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the product. The product requires good air flow on all

sides, including the top.

Protect the product from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue

inside the product.

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 Embedded Web Server.
