Copy problems Preventing problems The following are a few simple steps you can take to improve copy quality: ● Use quality originals. ● Load the media correctly. If the media is loaded incorrectly, it might skew, causing unclear images and problems with the OCR program. See Loading documents to copy or scan for instructions. NOTE Verify that the media meets HP specifications. If the media meets HP specifications, recurring feed problems indicate the pickup roller or separation pad is worn. Contact HP Customer Care. See HP Customer Care or the flyer that came in the device box. Image problems Problem Cause Solution Images are missing or faded. Vertical white or faded stripes appear on the copy. Unwanted lines appear on the copy. The print-cartridge toner-level might be low. Replace the print cartridge. See Changing the print cartridge. The original might be of poor quality. If your original is too light or damaged, the copy might not be able to compensate, even if you adjust the contrast. If possible, find an original document in better condition. The original might have a colored background. The media might not meet HP specifications. The print-cartridge toner-level might be low. The photosensitive drum inside the print cartridge might have been scratched. Colored backgrounds might cause images in the foreground to blend into the background, or the background might appear in a different shade. If possible, use an original document without a colored background. Use media that meets HP specifications. See Media specifications. Replace the print cartridge. See Changing the print cartridge. Install a new HP print cartridge. See Changing the print cartridge. ENWW Copy problems 93
