Visually inspect the toner cartridge

2. Check the memory chip for damage.
3. If you see any damage on the toner cartridge, replace the toner cartridge.
4. Reinstall the toner cartridge and print a few pages to see if the problem is resolved.
Check paper and the printing environment
This topic describes how to troubleshoot the paper quality issues and the printing environment.
Step one: Use paper that meets HP
specications
Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specications.
● Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports.
● Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids,
staples, and curled or bent edges.
● Use paper that has not been previously printed on.
● Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.
● Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in Inkjet
printers.
● Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.
