HP (Hewlett-Packard) 4000 All in One Printer User Manual


 
Here are three examples of a black rectangle in close-up, showing the fine lines of which it is made:
In the first two examples above, there are so many missing lines that the printhead may be faulty. In
the third case there are only a few missing lines, which are acceptable, because the printer can
compensate for such minor problems.
Corrective action
If part 3 shows a problem with one printhead, but part 2 shows no problem, there is no immediate
need to take any corrective action, because the printer is able to compensate for the problem and
maintain print quality. However, if part 2 also shows a problem, continue as follows:
1. Clean the printheads. See
Recover (clean) the printheads.
2. If there is no improvement in print quality, replace the printhead that shows the problem. See
Remove a printhead and Insert a printhead.
If I still have a problem
If the entire Image Diagnostics Print contains no defects and you still experience print quality
problems, here are some things to check:
Try using a higher print quality option. See
Choose print quality settings and Change the print
quality.
Check the driver you are using to print with. If it is a non-HP driver, go to
http://www.hp.com/go/
designjet/ and download the correct HP driver.
If you are using a non-HP RIP, its settings may be incorrect. Refer to the documentation that
came with the RIP.
