Solution: Change the paper type setting to match the type of paper loaded in the
input tray.
For more information, see:
• Set the paper type for printing
• Set the copy paper type
Cause: The print quality or copy setting on the HP All-in-One is set too low.
Solution: Check the quality setting. Use a higher quality setting to increase the
amount of ink used for printing.

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.
The printout has a horizontal band of distortion near the bottom of the page
Cause: Your photo image has light blue, gray, or brown hues that print near the
bottom of the page.
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. Print the
image using six-ink printing. To do so, install the photo print cartridge in place of the
black print cartridge. With the photo print cartridge and the tri-color print cartridge
installed, you have a six-ink system, which provides enhanced quality photos.
