Step one: Use paper that meets HP specications

Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specications.

● 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.

Step two: Check the environment

The environment can directly aect print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding

issues. Try the following solutions:

● Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.

● Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specications.

● Do not place the printer in a conned space, such as a cabinet.

● Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.

● Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer. The printer requires good air ow on all sides,

including the top.

● Protect the printer from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue

inside the printer.

Step three: Set the individual tray alignment

Follow these steps when text or images are not centered or aligned correctly on the printed page when printing

from specic trays.
