Copy problems

Prevent copy problems

The following are a few simple steps you can take to improve copy quality:

Copy from the flatbed scanner. This will produce a higher quality copy than copying from the
automatic document feeder (ADF).

Use quality originals.

Load the media correctly. If the media is loaded incorrectly, it might skew, causing unclear images
and problems with the OCR program. See

Load paper and print media on page 49

for instructions.

Use or make a carrier sheet to protect your originals.

NOTE:

Verify that the media meets HP specifications. If the media meets HP specifications, recurring

feed problems indicate the pickup roller or separation pad is worn. Contact HP. See
