Chapter 5 Solution 2: Check the ink levels Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges. NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink cartridges until prompted to do so. CAUTION: While ink cartridges are not damaged when left outside of the printer, the printhead does need to have all cartridges installed at all times after the printer is set up and in use. Leaving one or more cartridge slots empty for an extended period may lead to print quality problems and possibly damage the printhead. If you have recently left a cartridge out of the printer for an extended period, or if you have had a recent paper jam, and have noticed poor print quality, clean the printhead. For more information, see Clean the printhead. For more information, see: Check the estimated ink levels Cause: The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 3: Check the paper loaded in the input tray Solution: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly and that it is not wrinkled or too thick. • Load paper with the print side facing down. For example, if you are loading glossy photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side down. • Make sure the paper lays flat in the input tray and is not wrinkled. If the paper is too close to the printhead during printing, the ink might be smeared. This can happen if the paper is raised, wrinkled, or very thick, such as a mailing envelope. For more information, see: Load media Cause: The paper was loaded incorrectly, or it was wrinkled or too thick. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution. Solution 4: Check the paper type Solution: HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type with ColorLok technology that is appropriate for the printer. All papers with the ColorLok logo are independently tested to meet high standards of reliability and print quality, and produce documents with crisp, vivid color, bolder blacks and dry faster than ordinary plain papers. Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper. 46 Solve a problem

CAUTION:
While ink cartridges are not damaged when left outside of the

after the printer is set up and in use. Leaving one or more cartridge slots
empty for an extended period may lead to print quality problems and possibly
