General advice When you have an y print-quality problem: ● To achieve the best performance from your prin ter, use only genu ine manufactur er's supplies and accessories, wh ose reliability and performance have been thoroughly tested to give trouble- free performance an d best-quality prints.
Alternatively, or if you have other print qu alit y problems, you can continu e reading this chapter. Horizontal lines across the image (banding) If your printed image su ffers from added horizo ntal lines as shown (the co lor may vary): 1.
Lines are too thick, too thin or missing 1. Check that the paper type you have load ed corres ponds to the pap er type selected in th e front panel and in your software. To check on the front pan el, use the View information key . 2. Check that you are using app ropriate prin t-quality settings for your p urposes (see Printing on page 49 ).
1. The problem may be inherent in the image. Try to improve the image with the a pplication you are using to edit it. 2. Check that you are using app ropriate print-quality settings. See Printing on page 49 . 3. Select the custom print-quality opti ons in the driver dialog, and t urn on the Maximum de tail option (if available).
To correct this kind of problem: 1. Reseat the printh eads by removing them and the n reinserting them. See Remove a printhead on page 117 and Insert a printhead on page 120 . 2. Align the printheads. Se e Align the pr intheads on page 168 . Lines are discontinuous If your lines are bro ken in the fol lowing way: 1.
5. If you are using glossy paper, try changing to a different type of glossy paper. 6. Align the printheads. Se e Align the pr intheads on page 168 . Line lengths are inaccurate If you have measured y.
the printheads on page 168 . After alignment, you may wish to reprint your job in case the problem has been solved. 5. Go to the front pane l and press the View information key to see th e paper advance calib ration status. If th e status is DEFAULT , you should perfor m paper advance calibration: se e Reca librate the paper advance on page 145 .
To reduce the risk of scu ffs and scratches: ● Handle prints carefully. ● Avoid stacking prin ts on top of each othe r. ● Catch your prin ts as they are cut fro m the roll and do no t let them fall into t he basket.
Clean the plate n with a soft cloth. Clean each ri b separately without touc hi ng the foam between the ribs. Black ink comes off when you touch the print This problem may be caused by prin ting with matte black ink on glo ssy paper. The printer will not use matte black ink if it knows that the paper wil l not retain it.
Vertical lines of different colors If your print has vertical bands of differ ent colors along it: 1. Try using thicker paper, cho osing from the re commend ed paper types su ch as HP Heavywei ght Coated Paper and HP Super Heavyweig ht Paper. See Order paper on page 12 9 .
6. Print the Image D iagnostics Prin t. See The Image Diagnostics Print on pa ge 160 . 7. Try using the color adjustment optio ns to produce the colors yo u want. See Color adjustment options on page 69 . If the problem persists desp ite all the above actions, con tact your cu stomer service representa tive for further support.
● If you have defined a custom page size with very narrow margins, the p rinter may impose its own minimal margins, clipping your image slig htly. You may want to consider u sing a larger paper size, or borderless p rinting (see Select margins options on page 52 ).
A PDF file is clipped or objects are missing In older versions of Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reade r, large PDF files could be clipped or lose some objects when printing with the HP-GL/2 and HP RTL dr iver at high resolution. In orde r to avoid such problems, upgra de your Adob e Acrobat or Adobe Read er software to the la test version.
First look at the up per part of the print (part 1). Eac h colored rectangle should be a unif orm color without any horizontal lines across it. Then look at the botto m part of the print (part 2). F or each individua l colored pattern, check that most of the dashe s are present.
4. If the problem remains, try cle aning the pri nthead drop detector. The printer n ormally notifies you when this is necessary, but it may be worth trying even if the prin ter has not sugg ested it. See Clean the pr inthead drop de tector on page 165 .
17 Troubleshooting ink cartridge and printhead issues ● Cannot insert an ink cartridge ● Ink cartridge status messages ● Cannot insert a printhead ● The front-panel display recommen ds reseati.
Cannot insert an ink cartridge 1. Check that you have the correct type of cartri dge (model number). 2. Check that the colored label on the cartridge is the sa me color as the l abel on the slot. 3. Check that the cartridge is co rrectly oriented, with the letter or letters marking the cartridge la bel right-side up and re adable.
4. Clean the electrical connections on the backside of the printhead with a lin t free cloth. You can carefully use a mild rubbing alc ohol if moistu re is needed to remove re sidue. Do not use water. CAUTION: T his is a delicate process and may dam age the printhead.
1. Turn off the printer at the fron t panel. 2. To avoid an electri c shock, switch the p rinter off and unplug it. 3. Open the window. 166 Chapter 17 Tro ubleshooting ink cartridge and prin thead iss.
4. Find the print head drop dete ctor beside the stor ed printhead carriage. 5. Remove any debr is blocking the printhead dr op detector. 6. With a dry lint free cloth, wipe the surface o f th e drop detector to remove any no n-visible debris. 7. Close the wi ndow.
8. Plug in and switch on the printer. 9. Power the print er on at the front pan el. Align the printheads Precise alignment be tween printheads is essential for accurate colors, smoot h color transiti ons and sharp edges in grap hical elements.
4. Ensure the window is closed, as a strong lig ht sou rce near the printer during p rinthead realignment can affect alignment. 5. The process takes about six minutes. Wait un t il the front-panel disp lay shows the process complete before using the printer.
Scanning errors during alignment If the alignment process fails, a Scanning prob lems message appears on th e front panel. T his means that the alignment ha s not completed successful ly . Therefore the prin ter is not aligned a nd the alignment sh ould be repeate d before printing with good image quality.
18 Troubleshooting general printer issues ● The printer will n ot start ● The printer d oes not print ● The printer seems slow ● Communication failure s between computer and printer ● Cannot.
The printer will not start If the printer will not start (the front panel is bl ank or the diagnostic LEDs are all off), you are recommended to repla ce the firmware, in the f ollowing way. 1. Go to the Knowled ge Center (see Knowledge Cent er on page 180 ) and download the firmware.
