Copy problems
Prevent copy problems
The following are a few simple steps you can take to improve copy quality:
●
Copy from the flatbed scanner. This will produce a higher quality copy than copying from the
automatic document feeder (ADF).
●
Use quality originals.
●
Load the media correctly. If the media is loaded incorrectly, it might skew, causing unclear images
and problems with the OCR program. See
Load paper and print media on page 38 for instructions.
●
Adjust the control panel settings for the type of original if the automatic settings do not produce the
desired result.
NOTE: Verify that the media meets HP specifications. If the media meets HP specifications, recurring
feed problems indicate the pickup roller or separation roller is worn and need to be replaced. See
Paper-
feed assemblies on page 118.
