Check the print cartridge, and replace it if necessary, if you are having any of the following problems:
| ●
|
| The printing is too light or seems faded in areas.
|
|
| ●
|
| Printed pages have small unprinted areas.
|
|
| ●
|
| Printed pages have streaks or bands.
|
|
| NOTE:
|
If you are using a draft or EconoMode print setting, the printing might appear light.
|
If you determine that you need to replace a print cartridge, print the supplies status page to find the part number for the correct genuine HP print cartridge.
|
|
| Steps to resolve the problem
|
|
| Refilled or remanufactured print cartridge
|
|
| Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP supplies, either new or remanufactured. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence their design or control their quality. If you are using a refilled or remanufactured print cartridge and are not satisfied with the print quality, replace the cartridge with a genuine HP cartridge that has the words “HP” or “Hewlett-Packard” on it, or has the HP logo on it.
