Chapter 6 printer away from the source of the electromagnetic fields. Also, it is recommended that you use a USB cable that is less than 3 meters (9.8 feet) long to minimize the effects of these electromagnetic fields. Check the Bluetooth connection Printing larger files using a Bluetooth connection can sometimes cause the print job to fail. Try printing a smaller file. For more information, see Problems setting up Bluetooth communication. Meaningless characters print If an interruption occurs to a job that is printing, the printer might not recognize the rest of the job. Cancel the print job and wait for the Home screen to appear on the printer controlpanel display. If the Home screen does not appear, cancel all jobs and wait again. When the Home screen appears on the printer control-panel display, resend the job. If prompted by the computer to retry the job, click Cancel. Check the cable connections If the printer and computer are connected with a USB cable, the problem might be due to a poor cable connection. Make sure the cable connections at both ends are secure. If the problem persists, turn off the printer, disconnect the cable from the printer, turn on the printer without connecting the cable, and delete any remaining jobs from the print spooler. When the Power light is on and not flashing, reconnect the cable. Check the document file The document file might be damaged.

Check the mobile phone font Boxes might appear when trying to print Asian fonts from a mobile phone on printers purchased outside Asia. Asian fonts for Bluetooth mobile phone printing are supported only by models purchased in Asia. Ink is smearing Check the print settings • When you print documents that use a lot of ink or less adsorbent media, allow more time to dry before handling the printouts. In the print driver, select the Best print quality, and also increase the ink drying time and reduce the ink saturation using the ink volume under the advanced features (Windows) or ink features (Mac OS X). However, note that decreasing ink saturation might give printouts a "washed-out" quality. • Color documents that have rich, blended colors can wrinkle or smear when printed using the Best print quality. Try using another print mode, such as Normal, to reduce ink, or use HP Premium Paper designed for printing vivid color documents. For more information, see Print. 70 Solve a problem
