Calibrate the printer to align the colors
Calibration is a printer function that optimizes print quality.
Follow these steps to resolve print-quality problems such as misaligned color, colored shadows, blurry graphics,
or other print-quality issues.
1.
On the printer control panel, touch the Setup
button.
2. Open the following menus:
●
System Setup
● Print Quality
● Color Calibration
3. Touch Calibrate Now. A Calibrating message will display on the printer control panel. The calibration
process takes a few minutes to complete. Do not turn the printer off until the calibration process has
finished.
4. Wait while the printer calibrates, and then try printing again.
Check the EconoMode settings
HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might
outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade and is no longer acceptable,
consider replacing the toner cartridge.
NOTE: This feature is available with the PCL 6 print driver for Windows. If you are not using that driver, you
can enable the feature by using the HP Embedded Web Server.
