Software installation troubleshooting 91 Troubleshooting To uninstall from a Windows computer Chapter 12 Paper jams To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines: Troubleshooting • • • • • • • Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently. Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag. Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn. Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type. Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray. Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray. Use paper types that are recommended for the product. For more information, see the following topics: • • Clear paper jams Information on paper Clear paper jams Solution: Clear the paper jam through the rear access door. To clear a paper jam from the rear access door 1. Press in the tab on the left side of the rear access door to release the door. Remove the door by pulling it away from the product. CAUTION: Trying to clear a paper jam from the front of the product can damage the print mechanism. Always access and clear paper jams through the rear access door. 2. Gently pull the paper out of the rollers. CAUTION: If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers, check the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be remaining inside the product. If you do not remove all the pieces of paper from the product, more paper jams are likely to occur. 92 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 3. Replace the rear access door. Gently push the door forward until it snaps into place. 4. Press any button on the control panel to continue the current job. Cause: Paper had jammed in the product. Information on paper The HP All-in-One is designed to work well with most paper types. Test a variety of paper types before buying a large quantity. Find a paper type that works well and is easy to purchase. HP Premium papers are designed for the best quality results. In addition, follow these tips: • • • • • • • Do not use paper that is too thin, that has a slick texture, or that stretches easily. It can feed incorrectly through the paper path, causing paper jams. Store photo media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag. Do not leave unused photo paper in the input tray. The paper might start to curl, which might reduce the quality of your printouts. Curled paper can also cause paper jams. Always hold photo paper by the edges. Fingerprints on photo paper can reduce print quality. Do not use paper that is heavily textured. It can cause graphics or text to print improperly. Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type. Store printed photos under glass or in a storage book to prevent bleeding over time from high humidity. Use HP Premium Plus photo paper for maximum performance.

Try the following: • • • Information on print cartridges Resolving print cartridge problems Resolving print cartridge error messages Print cartridge troubleshooting 93 Chapter 12 Information on print cartridges For best results, use HP print cartridges. The following tips help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality. Troubleshooting • • • • • • Keep all print cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15.6°-26.6° C or 60°-78° F). Do not reattach the protective tape once it has been removed from the print cartridge. Reattaching the plastic tape might damage the print cartridge. Place the print cartridge in the product immediately after removing the plastic tape. If this is not possible, store it in a print cartridge protector or airtight plastic container. HP recommends that you do not remove the print cartridges from the product until you have replacement print cartridges available to install. Turn off the product from the control panel. Do not turn off the product by turning off a power strip or unplugging the power cord from the product. If you improperly turn off the product, the print carriage does not return to the correct position and the print cartridges can dry out. Do not open the print cartridge door unless necessary. This exposes the print cartridges to air, which reduces the life of the print cartridges. NOTE: If you leave the print cartridge door open for a long period of time, the product will recap the print cartridges to protect them from exposure to air. • It might be necessary to clean the print cartridges when you notice a significant decrease in print quality. TIP: You might notice a decrease in print quality if the print cartridges have not been used for a long time. • • Do not clean the print cartridges unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges. Handle print cartridges carefully. Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during installation can cause temporary printing problems. If print quality is poor right after cartridge installation, allow half an hour for the print cartridge to recover. For more information, see: Print cartridge troubleshooting 94 Troubleshooting Resolving print cartridge problems To troubleshoot the print cartridges 1. Remove and reinstall the print cartridges. For more information, see Replace the print cartridges. NOTE: Make sure the plastic tape has been removed. If it is still covering the ink nozzles, gently remove the plastic tape by using the pink pull tab. 2. If print quality is suffering, check the estimated ink levels. For more information, see Check the estimated ink levels. 3. Print a self-test report and review the test patterns. For more information, see Print a self-test report. 4. Clean the print cartridges: • First, try cleaning the print cartridges from the HP Photosmart Software. For more information, see Clean the print cartridges. CAUTION: Performing this procedure unnecessarily can waste ink and shorten the life of the cartridges. • If cleaning the print cartridges from the software did not help, you can try cleaning the print cartridge contacts. For more information, see Clean the print cartridge contacts. 5. If none of the previous procedures resolved the problem, replace the print cartridges.

Chapter 12 Print quality troubleshooting If you are having problems with print quality, try the solutions in this section and observe the following guidelines. Troubleshooting To troubleshoot print quality issues 1. Check the print cartridges. HP recommends that you use genuine HP print cartridges. Genuine HP print cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce great results, time after time. NOTE: HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP supplies. Printer service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply will not be covered under warranty. If you believe you purchased genuine HP ink cartridges, go to: www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit For more information, see Replace the print cartridges. 2. Check the ink levels. If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured print cartridge, or a cartridge that has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator will be inaccurate or unavailable. The ink levels provided are an estimate. When print cartridges are truly low on ink, printouts will be faded or streaked. As long as print quality is acceptable, there is no reason to replace print cartridges. Low ink warnings are provided for planning purposes only. For more information, see Check the estimated ink levels. 3. Make sure you turn off the product by pressing the On button. CAUTION: Do not turn off the product by turning off a power strip or unplugging the power cord from it. If you improperly turn off the product, the print carriage does not return to the correct position and the print cartridges can dry out. 4. To achieve the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are specifically designed for the type of project you are printing along with genuine HP ink. HP papers and HP ink are specifically designed to work well together to provide high-quality output. 5. Check the product settings to make sure that the print mode and paper selection is correct for the paper and the task. For more information, see Set the paper type for printing and Choose papers for printing and copying. 6. If the cartridges are genuine HP and the product is not in backup mode, print a selftest report to determine if the product and ink supplies are operating correctly. This will use one sheet of plain paper and a very small amount of ink. For more information, see Print a self-test report. 98 Troubleshooting For additional print cartridge troubleshooting, visit the HP Web site at www.hp.com/ support.

Troubleshooting If you believe you purchased genuine HP print cartridges, go to: www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit Cause: Non-HP ink was being used. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 2: Check the paper loaded in the input tray Solution: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly and that it is not wrinkled or too thick. • Load paper with the side you want to print on facing down. For example, if you are loading glossy photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side down. • If the paper is too close to the print cartridge during printing, the ink might be smeared. This can happen if the paper is raised, wrinkled, or very thick, such as a mailing envelope. Make sure the paper lays flat in the input tray and is not wrinkled. For more information, see: • • Load paper Information on paper Cause: The paper was loaded incorrectly, or it was wrinkled or too thick. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 3: Check the paper type Solution: HP recommends that you use HP Premium Papers or any other paper type that is appropriate for the product. Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper. Store photo media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag. This will prevent the photo paper from curling. NOTE: There is no problem with the ink supplies and replacing the print cartridges is unnecessary. 100 Troubleshooting For more information, see: • • Recommended papers for printing and copying Information on paper Cause: The wrong kind of paper was loaded in the input tray. Solution 4: Check to see if the product is in ink-backup mode Solution: Check to see if the the product is printing in ink-backup mode, with only one print cartridge installed. If the product is in ink-backup mode, text and photo quality will differ from those printed when using both print cartridges. If you are satisfied with the print quality, continue printing in ink-backup mode. Or, replace the missing print cartridge. For more information, see: • • Use ink-backup mode Replace the print cartridges Cause: A print cartridge was missing and the product was printing in ink-backup mode. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 5: Check the print settings Solution: Check the print settings. • Check the print settings to see if the color settings are incorrect. For example, check to see if the document is set to print in grayscale. Or, check to see if advanced color settings such as saturation, brightness, or color tone, are set to modify the appearance of colors. • Check the print quality setting and make sure it matches the type of paper loaded in the product. You might need to choose a lower print quality setting, if colors are running into each other. Or, choose a higher setting if you are printing a high-quality photo, and then make sure photo paper such as HP Premium Photo Papers, is loaded in the input tray. NOTE: On some computer screens, colors might appear differently than they do when printed on paper. In this case, there is nothing wrong with the product, print settings, or print cartridges. No further troubleshooting is required. For more information, see: • • Change the print speed or quality Choose papers for printing and copying Cause: The print settings were set incorrectly.
