This page contains five bands of color, which are divided into four groups as indicated in the following
illustration. By examining each group, you can isolate the problem to a particular print cartridge.
Section Print-cartridge
1 Yellow
2 Cyan
3 Black
4 Magenta
● If dots or streaks appear in only one of the groups, replace the print cartridge that correlates with
that group.
● If dots appear in more than one group, print a cleaning page. If this does not solve the problem,
determine if the dots are always the same color; for example, if magenta dots appear in all five
color bands. If the dots are all the same color, replace that print cartridge.
● If streaks appear in multiple color bands, contact HP. A component other than the print cartridge
is probably causing the problem.
