Toner smear
●
If toner smears appear on the leading edge of the media,
the media guides might be dirty. Wipe the media guides
with a dry, lint-free cloth.
●
Check the media type and quality.
●
The fuser temperature might be too low. In your printer
driver, make sure the appropriate media type is selected.
●
Place the product in quiet mode, and send the print job
again. See
Quiet mode settings on page 56.
●
Install a new genuine HP print cartridge.
Loose toner
●
The fuser temperature might be too low. In your printer
driver, make sure the appropriate media type is selected.
●
Clean the inside of the product.
●
Check the media type and quality.
●
Place the product in quiet mode, and send the print job
again. See
Quiet mode settings on page 56.
●
Plug the printer directly into an AC outlet instead of into a
power strip.
Vertical repetitive defects
●
The print cartridge might be damaged. If a repetitive mark
occurs at the same spot on the page, install a new
genuine HP print cartridge.
●
The internal parts might have toner on them. If the defects
occur on the back of the page, the problem will probably
correct itself after a few more printed pages.
●
In your printer driver, make sure the appropriate media
type is selected.
Misformed characters
●
If characters are improperly formed, producing hollow
images, the media stock might be too slick. Try a different
media.
●
If characters are improperly formed, producing a wavy
effect, the product might need service. Print a
configuration page. If the characters are improperly
formed, contact an HP-authorized dealer or service
representative.
