Loose toner

Loose toner, in this context, is defined as toner that can be rubbed off the page.

If paper is heavy or rough, try using a high fuser mode so that toner fuses more completely
onto the paper. At the printer control panel, use

Fuser Modes

in the

Print Quality

menu

(see

Print quality submenu

).

If you have observed a rougher texture on one side of your paper, try printing on the non-
rough side.

Make sure that the environmental specifications for the printer are being met (see

Environmental specifications

).

Make sure that paper type and quality meet HP specifications (see

Paper specifications

).

Maintenance might be due. Check this by printing a copy of the supplies status page (see

Supplies status page
