Check the print quality setting: Check the printer setting which you have selected for this print job in the printer software. While the Draft setting prints faster and uses less ink, it may cause text to appear faded or colors to appear dull. Select Normal or Best Print Quality in the HP Print Settings dialog box. Check the paper type setting: When printing on transparencies or other special media types, select the corresponding media type in the HP Print Settings dialog box. For large sheets of paper (C- or D-size): Make sure that the output (front path) extensions are extended. If they aren't, the paper may hang over the edge of the tray and banding may result. |
