The print cartridges
are out of ink.
Print a Self-Test Report to diagnose problems with the print cartridges. First
clean the cartridges, and then replace them if necessary.
If the paper you are
using is too fibrous,
the ink may not cover
the print surface.
Make sure you are using paper that is appropriate for your HP Digital
Copier Printer. For information on choosing a paper type, see
recommended papers on page 8 and papers to avoid when copying on
page 9.
Copying a poor-
quality picture causes
moiré patterns, such
as bands, checks, or
stripes to appear.
To reduce moiré patterns, try placing one or more clear plastic sheet
protectors directly on the glass, and then place the original face down on
top of the plastic sheet.
Debris may be stuck
on the glass or
document backing.
Unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a soft cloth to wipe the glass and
document backing.
