to read.
The contrast is too high or too low
for your office environment.
Adjust the contrast on the control
panel display (see

the wrong tray.
The tray selection in the software
application might be incorrect.
For many software applications, the
paper tray selection is found under
the Page Setup menu within the

make the printer select from the
desired tray.
For Macintosh computers, use the
HP LaserJet Utility to change the
priority of the tray.

optional 250-sheet tray in tray 3
position” on page 32
tray 3 (500-sheet tray)” on page 34
For tray 3, make sure that the
leading edge of the paper stack is
even. An uneven edge can prevent
