HP Officejet J5740 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 133)

TIP: If the automatic document feeder does not pick up the plain paper, try
cleaning the front roller. Wipe the roller with a soft lint-free cloth dampened with
distilled water.
If the problem persists, or the automatic document feeder does not pick up the plain
paper, you can clean the rollers and separator pad manually.

Ink is not filling the text or graphics completely
Cause: The print cartridges need to be cleaned or might be out of ink.
Solution: Check the estimated ink levels remaining in the print cartridges. If the
print cartridges are low or out of ink, you might need to replace the print cartridges.
If there is ink remaining in the print cartridges, but you are still noticing a problem,
print a self-test report to determine if there is a problem with the print cartridges. If the
self-test report shows a problem, clean the print cartridges. If the problem persists,
you might need to replace the print cartridges.
