HP (Hewlett-Packard) K7100 Printer User Manual


 
Check the print location and length of USB cable
High electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by USB cables) can sometimes slightly distort
printouts. Move the 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.
Placement of the text or graphics is wrong
Check how the media is loaded
Make sure the media width and length guides fit snugly against the edges of the stack of media, and
make sure the tray is not overloaded. See
Loading media in the input tray on page 36.
Check the media size
Content on a page might be cut off if the document size is larger than the media that you are
using.
Make sure the media size selected in the printer driver matches the size of media loaded in the
tray. See
Changing print settings on page 39.
If you are using a computer running Windows, select Emulate LaserJet Margins in the printer
driver to scale the document to fit the media size currently selected. See
Changing print settings
on page 39.
Check margin settings
If the text or graphics are cut off at the edges of the page, make sure the margin settings for the
document do not exceed the printable area of your printer. See
Setting minimum margins on page 35.
Check the page-orientation setting
Make sure the media size and page orientation selected in the application match the settings in the
printer driver. See
Changing print settings on page 39.
Check the printer location and length of USB cable
High electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by USB cables) can sometimes slightly distort
printouts. Move the 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.
If the above solutions do not work, the problem may be caused by the inability of the application to
interpret print settings properly. See the release notes for known software conflicts; or refer to the
application's documentation, or contact the software manufacturer for specific help.
