Tips for print success
Use the following tips to print successfully.
• Use genuine HP cartridges. Genuine HP cartridges are designed for and tested with HP printers to help you
produce great results, time after time.
• Make sure the cartridges have sufficient ink. To check the estimated ink levels, touch the Ink Levels icon on
the printer display.
• Load a stack of paper, not just one page. Use clean and flat paper of the same size. Make sure only one type
of paper is loaded at a time.
• Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guide
does not bend the paper in the input tray.
• Set the print quality and paper size settings according to the type and size of paper loaded in the input tray.
• If you want to print a black and white document using black ink only, do one of the following according to your
operating system.
◦ On Windows: Open your printer software, click Set Preferences. On the Paper/Quality tab, click
Advanced. Select Black Ink Only from the Print in Grayscale drop-down list under Printer Features.
◦ On Mac: From the Print dialog box, choose the Paper Type/Quality pane, click Color Options, and then
choose Grayscale from the Color pop-up menu.
If the Print dialog does not show printer options, click the blue disclosure triangle next to the printer name
(Mac OS X v10.6) or Show Details (Mac OS X v10.7). Use the pop-up menu toward the bottom of the
dialog to choose the Paper Type/Quality pane.
