2. Select the product, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.
3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.
4. From the Paper Type drop-down list, click the More... option.
5. Expand the list of Type is: options.
6. Expand the category of paper types that best describes your paper.
7. Select the option for the type of paper you are using, and click the OK button.
8. Click the OK button to close the Document Properties dialog box. In the Print dialog box, click the OK button to print the job.

Check the paper type setting (OS X)

1. Click the File menu, and then click the Print option.
2. Select the product.

3. Click Show Details, and then click the Media & Quality menu or the Paper/Quality menu.

4. Select a type from the Media-type drop-down list.

5. Click the Print button.

Check toner-cartridge status

Follow these steps to check the estimated life remaining in the toner cartridges and if applicable, the status of other replaceable maintenance parts.

Step one: Print the supplies status page

1. Press the Home button on the product control panel.
2. Select Supplies.
3. The status of all supply items is listed on the screen.
4. To print a report of the status of all supply items, including the genuine HP part number for reordering the supply, select Manage Supplies, and then select Print Supplies Status.

Print quality problems can occur when using a toner cartridge that is at its estimated end of life. The supplies status page indicates when a supply level is very low. After an HP supply has reached the very low threshold, HP's premium protection warranty on that supply has ended.

The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.

If you determine that you need to replace a toner cartridge or other replaceable maintenance parts, the supplies status page lists the genuine HP part numbers.

1. Check to see if you are using a genuine HP cartridge.

A genuine HP toner cartridge has the word "HP" on it, or has the HP logo on it. For more information on identifying HP cartridges go to www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies.

Clean the product

Print a cleaning page

During the printing process paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the product and can cause print-quality issues such as toner specks or spatter, smears, streaks, lines, or repeating marks.

Follow these steps to clean the product's paper path.

1. Press the Home button on the product control panel.
2. Select Device Maintenance.
3. Select Calibration/Cleaning, and then select Cleaning Page to print the page.

Visually inspect the toner cartridge

Follow these steps to inspect each toner cartridge.

1. Remove the toner cartridge from the product.
2. Check the memory chip for damage.
3. Examine the surface of the green imaging drum.

CAUTION: Do not touch the imaging drum. Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.

1. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner cartridge.
2. Reinstall the toner cartridge, and print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.

Check paper and the printing environment

Step one: Use paper that meets HP specifications

Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications.

Always use a paper type and weight that this product supports.
Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.
Use paper that has not been previously printed on.
Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.
- Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in Inkjet printers.
Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.

Step two: Check the environment

The environment can directly affect print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding issues. Try the following solutions:

• Move the product away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.
  Make sure the product is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of product specifications.
• Do not place the product in a confined space, such as a cabinet.
• Place the product on a sturdy, level surface.
• Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the product. The product requires good air flow on all sides, including the top.
• Protect the product from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue inside the product.

Step three: Set the individual tray alignment

Follow these steps when text or images are not centered or aligned correctly on the printed page when printing from specific trays.

1. Press the Home button on the product control panel.
2. Open the following menus:

Administration
- General Settings
- Print Quality
- Image Registration

1. Select the tray to adjust.
2. Select Print Test Page, and then follow the instructions on the printed pages.
3. Select Print Test Page again to verify the results, and then make further adjustments if necessary.
4. Touch the Save button or press the OK button to save the new settings.

Try a different print driver

Try a different print driver when printing from a software program and the printed pages have unexpected lines in graphics, missing text, missing graphics, incorrect formatting, or substituted fonts.

Download any of the following drivers from the HP Web site: www.hp.com/support/ljM604, www.hp.com/support/ljM605, www.hp.com/support/ljM606.
