Light print or faded

The print cartridge is nearing end of life.

Redistribute the toner to extend the life.

The media might not meet Hewlett-Packard's media
specifications (for example, the media is too moist or too
rough).

If the whole page is light, the print density adjustment is
too light or EconoMode might be turned on. Adjust the
print density, and disable EconoMode in the printer
Properties.

Toner specks

The media might not meet Hewlett-Packard's media
specifications (for example, the media is too moist or too
rough).

The printer might need to be cleaned.

The print cartridge might be defective.

Dropouts

A single sheet of media might be defective. Try reprinting
the job.

The media moisture content is uneven or the media has
moist spots on its surface. Try printing with new media.

The media lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can
cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different type or
brand of media.
