Tips for print success
For good printing experience, HP ink cartridges should be correctly installed, have sufficient ink, and
working properly; and paper should be properly loaded with correct print settings.
Ink tips
● If the print quality is not acceptable, see Solve printing problems on page 131 for more
information.
● Use Original HP ink cartridges.
● Install both the black and color cartridges correctly.
For more information, see Replace the ink cartridges on page 99.
● Check the estimated ink levels in the cartridges to make sure there is sufficient ink.
For more information, see Check the estimated ink levels on page 97.
● Always turn off the printer with (the Power button) to allow the printer to protect the nozzles.
Paper loading tips
For more information, also see Load paper on page 23.
● Load a stack of paper (not just one page). All the paper in the stack should be of the same size
and type to avoid a paper jam.
● Load paper with the print-side down in the main tray.
● Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
● Adjust the paper-width guides in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the
guides do not bend the paper in the tray.
