inch sizes for printing or copying photos from the product.

Clean the area around the ink nozzles
If the HP All-in-One is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris might
accumulate inside the device. This debris can include dust, hair, carpet, or clothing fibers.
When debris gets on the print cartridges, it can cause ink streaks and smudges on printed
pages. Ink streaking can be corrected by cleaning around the ink nozzles as described
here.
NOTE: Clean the area around the ink nozzles only if you continue to see streaks
and smudges on your printed pages after you have already cleaned the print
cartridges by using the software you installed with the HP All-in-One.

Information on paper
The HP All-in-One is designed to work well with most paper types. Test a variety of paper
types before buying a large quantity. Find a paper type that works well and is easy to
purchase. HP Premium papers are designed for the best quality results. In addition, follow
these tips:
•
Do not use paper that is too thin, that has a slick texture, or that stretches easily. It
can feed incorrectly through the paper path, causing paper jams.
•
Store photo media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat
surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you
plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo
paper to the plastic bag.
•
•
•
•
•
Do not leave unused photo paper in the input tray. The paper might start to curl, which
might reduce the quality of your printouts. Curled paper can also cause paper jams.
Always hold photo paper by the edges. Fingerprints on photo paper can reduce print
quality.
Do not use paper that is heavily textured. It can cause graphics or text to print
improperly.
Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack
of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
Store printed photos under glass or in a storage book to prevent bleeding over time
from high humidity. Use HP Premium Plus photo paper for maximum performance.

Information on print cartridges
For best results, use HP print cartridges. The following tips help maintain HP print
cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.
•
•
•
Keep all print cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.
Store print cartridges at room temperature (15.6°-26.6° C or 60°-78° F).
Do not reattach the protective tape once it has been removed from the print cartridge.
Reattaching the plastic tape might damage the print cartridge. Place the print cartridge
in the product immediately after removing the plastic tape. If this is not possible, store
it in a print cartridge protector or airtight plastic container.
•
•
HP recommends that you do not remove the print cartridges from the product until
you have replacement print cartridges available to install.
Turn off the product from the control panel. Do not turn off the product by turning off
a power strip or unplugging the power cord from the product. If you improperly turn
off the product, the print carriage does not return to the correct position and the print
cartridges can dry out.
•
•
Do not open the print cartridge door unless necessary. This exposes the print
cartridges to air, which reduces the life of the print cartridges.
NOTE: If you leave the print cartridge door open for a long period of time, the
product will recap the print cartridges to protect them from exposure to air.
It might be necessary to clean the print cartridges when you notice a significant
decrease in print quality.
TIP: You might notice a decrease in print quality if the print cartridges have not
been used for a long time.
•
•
Do not clean the print cartridges unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life
of the cartridges.
Handle print cartridges carefully. Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during
installation can cause temporary printing problems. If print quality is poor right after
cartridge installation, allow half an hour for the print cartridge to recover.

Print quality troubleshooting
If you are having problems with print quality, try the solutions in this section and observe
the following guidelines.
To troubleshoot print quality issues
1. Check the print cartridges.
HP recommends that you use genuine HP print cartridges. Genuine HP print
cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce great
results, time after time.
NOTE: HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP supplies. Printer
service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply will not be covered
under warranty.
If you believe you purchased genuine HP ink cartridges, go to:
2. Check the ink levels.
If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured print cartridge, or a cartridge that
has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator will be inaccurate or
unavailable. The ink levels provided are an estimate. When print cartridges are truly
low on ink, printouts will be faded or streaked. As long as print quality is acceptable,
there is no reason to replace print cartridges. Low ink warnings are provided for
planning purposes only.
3. Make sure you turn off the product by pressing the On button.
CAUTION: Do not turn off the product by turning off a power strip or unplugging
the power cord from it. If you improperly turn off the product, the print carriage
does not return to the correct position and the print cartridges can dry out.
4. To achieve the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are
specifically designed for the type of project you are printing along with genuine HP
ink. HP papers and HP ink are specifically designed to work well together to provide
high-quality output.
5. Check the product settings to make sure that the print mode and paper selection is
correct for the paper and the task.
6. If the cartridges are genuine HP and the product is not in backup mode, print a self-
test report to determine if the product and ink supplies are operating correctly.
This will use one sheet of plain paper and a very small amount of ink.

Cause: Non-HP ink was being used.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Check the paper loaded in the input tray
Solution: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly and that it is not wrinkled or too
thick.
•
Load paper with the side you want to print on facing down. For example, if you
are loading glossy photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side down.
•
If the paper is too close to the print cartridge during printing, the ink might be
smeared. This can happen if the paper is raised, wrinkled, or very thick, such as
a mailing envelope. Make sure the paper lays flat in the input tray and is not
wrinkled.

Solution 3: Check the paper type
Solution: HP recommends that you use HP Premium Papers or any other paper
type that is appropriate for the product.
Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing
images, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.
Store photo media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat
surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you
plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo
paper to the plastic bag. This will prevent the photo paper from curling.
NOTE: There is no problem with the ink supplies and replacing the print
cartridges is unnecessary.

NOTE: Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning
purposes only. When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a
replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need
to replace the print cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
If there is ink remaining in the print cartridges, but you are still noticing a problem,
print a self-test report to determine if there is a problem with the print cartridges. If the
self-test report shows a problem, clean the print cartridges. If the problem persists,
you might need to replace the print cartridges.
Cause: If you are printing black text, and a blank page comes out of the product,
the black print cartridge might be empty.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Check for blank pages at the end of the document
Solution: Open the document file in your software application and remove any extra
pages or lines at the end of the document.
Cause: The document you are printing contains an additional blank page.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 3: Load more paper in the input tray
Solution: If the product has only a few sheets remaining, load more paper in the
input tray. If there is plenty of paper in the input tray, remove the paper, tap the stack
of paper against a flat surface, and reload the paper into the input tray.
For more information, see:
Cause: The product picked up two sheets of paper.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 4: Check the print cartridges for protective tape
Solution: Check each print cartridge. The tape might have been removed from the
copper-colored contacts, but still might cover the ink nozzles. If the tape is still

Try the following solutions to resolve the issue. Solutions are listed in order, with the most
likely solution first. If the first solution does not solve the problem, continue trying the
remaining solutions until the issue is resolved.
•
•
Solution 1: Resize the image
Solution: When you make a borderless copy of a very small original, the product
enlarges the original up to a maximum percentage. This might leave white space
around the edges. (The maximum percentage varies by model.)
Depending on the size of the borderless copy you are trying to make, the minimum
size of the original varies. For example, you cannot enlarge a passport photo to create
a letter-size borderless copy.
If you want to make a borderless copy of a very small original, scan the original into
the computer, resize the image, and then print a borderless copy of the enlarged
image.
Cause: You were trying to make a borderless copy of a very small original.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Use photo paper
Solution: Use photo paper with a tear-off tab to make borderless copies.

Solution: Insert the product installation CD and install the software.
For more information, see the Setup Guide.
Cause: The HP Photosmart Software was not installed on your computer.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 4: Make sure the HP Photosmart Software is running on your computer
Solution: Open the software you installed with the product and try scanning again.
NOTE: To check to see whether the software is running, right-click on the HP
Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the system tray at the far right of the Windows
taskbar. Pick a device in the list, and then click Display Status.
Cause: The HP Photosmart Software was not running on your computer.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 5: Make sure you have sufficient computer memory
Solution: Close all applications that are not in use. This includes applications that
run in the background, such as screen savers and virus checkers. If you turn off your
virus checker, remember to turn it back on after you finish your scan.
130
Troubleshooting
If this problem occurs frequently, or if you encounter memory problems while using
other applications, you might need to add more memory to your computer. See the
user guide that came with your computer for more information.
Cause: Too many applications were running on your computer. These applications
occupied your computer memory.
Scanned image is blank
Solution: Load your original print side down on the right front corner of the glass.
Cause: The original was placed incorrectly on the glass.
Scanned image is incorrectly cropped
Solution: The autocropping feature in the software crops anything that is not part
of the main image. Sometimes this might not be what you want. In that case, turn off
autocropping in the software and crop the scanned image manually, or not at all.
Cause: The software was set to automatically crop scanned pictures.
Scanned image has incorrect page layout
Solution: Turn off autocropping in the software to retain the page layout.
Cause: The automatic cropping feature in the software was changing the page
layout.
Text format is incorrect
Solution: Some applications cannot handle framed text formatting. Framed text is
one of the scan document settings in the software. It maintains complex layouts, such
as multiple columns from a newsletter, by putting the text in different frames (boxes)
in the destination application. In the software, select the correct format so that the
scanned text layout and formatting are retained.
Cause: The scan document settings were incorrect.

Scanned image shows dotted lines instead of text
Solution: Make a black-and-white copy of the original and then scan the copy.
Cause: If you used the Text image type to scan text that you plan to edit, the
scanner might not recognize color text. The Text image type scans at 300 x 300 dpi,
in black and white.
If you are scanning an original that has graphics or artwork surrounding the text, the
scanner might not recognize the text.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 3: Make sure that the scan document settings are set to the correct optical
character recognition (OCR) language
Solution: Select the correct OCR language in the software.
132
Troubleshooting
NOTE: If you are using the HP Photosmart Software, the Optical Character
Recognition (OCR) software might not be installed on your computer. To install
the OCR software, you must re-insert the software disk and select OCR under the
Custom installation options.
See the documentation that came with Readiris, or whichever OCR software you use,
for information on how to select the OCR language.
Cause: The scan document settings were not set to the correct optical character
recognition (OCR) language.
The OCR language tells the software how to interpret the characters it sees in the
original image. If the OCR language does not match the language in the original, the
scanned text might be incomprehensible.

HP recommends that you use genuine HP print cartridges. Genuine HP print
cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce great
results, time after time.

Previously used genuine HP cartridges installed
Solution: Check the print quality of the current print job. If it is satisfactory, follow
the prompts on the computer screen to continue.
Ink levels might not be available for the indicated print cartridges. Ink level warnings
and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low-

•
•
If more than a few lines in a pattern are broken, this might indicate a problem
with the nozzles. You might need to clean the print cartridges.
If the black line is missing, faded, streaked, or shows lines, this might indicate
a problem with the black or photo print cartridge in the right slot.
If any of the color lines are missing, faded, streaked, or show lines, this might
indicate a problem with the tri-color print cartridge in the left slot.
