HP policy on non-HP supplies
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP toner cartridges, either new or remanufactured.

NOTE: For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or a refilled toner cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer. However, if product failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or refilled toner cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials charges to service the product for the particular failure or damage.
HP anticounterfeit Web site
Go to www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit when you install an HP toner cartridge and the control-panel message says the cartridge is non-HP. HP will help determine if the cartridge is genuine and take steps to resolve the problem.
Your toner cartridge might not be a genuine HP toner cartridge if you notice the following:
The supplies status page indicates that a non-HP supply is installed.
• You are experiencing a high number of problems with the cartridge.
- The cartridge does not look like it usually does (for example, the packaging differs from HP packaging).
Print when a toner cartridge is at estimated end of life
Enable or disable the Very Low Settings options from the control panel
You can enable or disable the default settings at any time, and you do not have to re-enable them when you install a new cartridge.
- From the product control panel, press the Home 🔒 button.
-
Open the following menus:
-
Administration
-
Manage Supplies
• Supply Settings -
Open one of the following options:
-
Black Cartridge
-
Maintenance Kit
-
Select the Very Low Settings option.
-
Select one of the following options:
-
Select the Stop option to set the product to stop printing (including printing faxes) until you replace the cartridge.
- Select the Prompt to continue option to set the product to stop printing (including printing faxes) and prompt you to replace the cartridge. You can acknowledge the prompt and continue printing.
- Select the Continue option to set the product to alert you that the cartridge is very low but to continue printing.

NOTE: Using the Continue setting allows printing beyond Very Low without customer interaction and can result in unsatisfactory print quality.
If you select the Stop or Prompt to continue option, the product stops printing when it reaches the Very Low threshold. When you replace the cartridge, the product automatically resumes printing.
When the product is set to the Stop or Prompt to continue option, there is some risk that faxes will not print when the product resumes printing. This can occur if the product has received more faxes than the memory can hold while the product is waiting.
The product can print faxes without interruption when it passes the Very Low threshold if you select the Continue option for color and black cartridges, but print quality might degrade.
Once an HP supply has reached Very Low, HP's premium Protection Warranty on that supply has ended.

Improve print quality
Print from a different software program
Try printing from a different software program. If the page prints correctly, the problem is with the software program from which you were printing.
Set the paper-type setting for the print job
Check the paper type setting if you are printing from a software program and the pages have any of these problems:
- smeared print
- fuzzy print
dark print - curled paper
• scattered dots of toner - loose toner
• small areas of missing toner
Check the paper type setting (Windows)
- From the software program, select the Print option.
- Select the product, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.
- Click the Paper/Quality tab.
- From the Paper type drop-down list, click the More... option.
- Expand the list of Type is: options.
- Expand the category of paper types that best describes your paper.
- Select the option for the type of paper you are using, and click the OK button.
- 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 (Mac OS X)
- Click the File menu, and then click the Print option.
- In the Printer menu, select the product.
-
By default, the print driver displays the Copies & Pages menu. Open the menus drop-down list, and then click the Finishing menu.
-
Select a type from the Media Type drop-down list.
-
Click the Print button.
Check the 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.
-
On the product control panel, press the Home 🔒 button.
-
Open the following menus:
-
Administration
- Reports
-
Configuration/Status Pages
-
Select the Supplies Status option.
- Highlight the Print option, and then press the OK button to print the report.
- Check the percent of life remaining for the toner cartridges and if applicable, the status of other replaceable maintenance parts.
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 supply 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.
- Check to see if you are using a genuine HP cartridge.
A genuine HP toner cartridge has the words "HP" or "Hewlett-Packard" on it, or has the HP logo on it. For more information on identifying HP cartridges go to www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies.
Hewlett-Packard 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 toner cartridge and are not satisfied with the print quality, replace the toner cartridge with a genuine HP toner cartridge.
Print a cleaning page
Print a cleaning page to remove dust and excess toner from the paper path if you are having any of the following problems:
Specks of toner are on the printed pages.
- Toner is smearing on the printed pages.
• Repeated marks occur on the printed pages.
Use the following procedure to print a cleaning page.
-
On the product control panel, press the Home 🔒 button.
-
Open the following menus:
• Device Maintenance
• Calibration/Cleaning
- Cleaning Page
-
Press the OK button to print the page.
-
The cleaning process can take several minutes. When it is finished, discard the printed page.
Visually inspect the toner cartridge
- Remove the toner cartridge from the product, and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.
- Check the memory chip for damage.
- Examine the surface of the green imaging drum on the toner cartridge.

CAUTION: Do not touch the imaging drum. Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.
-
If you see any scratches, fingerprints, or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner cartridge.
-
If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.
Check paper and the printing environment
Use paper that meets HP specifications
Use different paper if you are having any of the following problems:
The printing is too light or seems faded in areas.
Specks of toner are on the printed pages.
- Toner is smearing on the printed pages.
• Printed characters seem misformed.
• Printed pages are curled.
Always use a paper type and weight that this product supports. In addition, follow these guidelines when selecting paper:
- 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 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.
Check the environment
Environmental conditions can directly affect print quality, and they are a common cause for paper-feeding problems. Try the following solutions:
- Move the product away from drafty locations, such as air-conditioning vents, or open windows or doors.
• 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.
Check the EconoMode settings
HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade and is no longer acceptable, consider replacing the toner cartridge.

NOTE: This feature is available with the PCL 6 print driver for Windows. If you are not using that driver, you can enable the feature by using the HP Embedded Web Server.
Follow these steps if the entire page is too dark or too light.
- From the software program, select the Print option.
- Select the product, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.
-
Click the Paper/Quality tab, and locate the Print Quality area.
-
If the entire page is too dark, use these settings:
• Select the 600 dpi option.
- Select the EconoMode check box to enable it.
If the entire page is too light, use these settings:
• Select the FastRes 1200 option.
• Clear the EconoMode check box to disable it.
- Click the OK button to close the Document Properties dialog box. In the Print dialog, click the OK button to print the job.
Try a different print driver
Try using a different print driver if you are printing from a software program and the printed pages have unexpected lines in graphics, missing text, missing graphics, incorrect formatting, or substituted fonts. The following print drivers are available at www.hp.com/go/lj700M712_software.
| HP PCL 6 driver | Provided as the default driver on the product CD. This driver is automatically installed unless you select a different one.Recommended for all Windows environmentsProvides the overall best speed, print quality, and product-feature support for most usersDeveloped to align with the Windows Graphic Device Interface (GDI) for the best speed in Windows environmentsMight not be fully compatible with third-party and custom software programs that are based on PCL 5 |

The product does not print or it prints slowly
The product does not print
If the product does not print at all, try the following solutions.
- Make sure the product is turned on and that the control panel indicates it is ready.
If the control panel does not indicate the product is ready, turn the product off and then on again.
- If the control panel indicates the product is ready, try sending the job again.
- If the control panel indicates the product has an error, resolve the error and then try sending the job again.
- Make sure the cables are all connected correctly. If the product is connected to a network, check the following:
Check the light next to the network connection on the product. If the network is active, the light is green.
Make sure that you are using a network cable and not a phone cord to connect to the network.
Make sure the network router, hub, or switch is turned on and that it is working correctly.
- Install the HP software from the CD that came with the product or use the UPD print driver. Using generic print drivers can cause delays clearing jobs from the print queue.

- If your computer or the product is connected to a wireless network, low signal quality or interference might be delaying print jobs.
The product prints slowly
If the product prints, but it seems slow, try the following solutions.
-
Make sure the computer meets the minimum specifications for this product. For a list of specifications, go to this Web site: www.hp.com/support/lj700M712.
-
When you configure the product to print on some paper types, such as heavy paper, the product prints more slowly so it can correctly fuse the toner to the paper. If the paper type setting is not correct for the type of paper you are using, change the setting to the correct paper type.
