1. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner cartridge.
2. 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

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.
