The printer shuts down unexpectedly
● Check the power and power connections.
● Make sure the printer's power cord is connected firmly to a functioning power outlet.
Printhead alignment fails
● If the alignment process fails, make sure you have loaded unused, plain white paper into the
input tray. If you have colored paper loaded in the input tray when you align the ink cartridges,
the alignment fails.
● If the alignment process fails repeatedly, you may need to clean the printhead, or you might
have a defective sensor. To clean the printhead, see Maintain the printhead and ink cartridges.
● If cleaning the printhead does not solve the problem, contact HP support. Go to www.hp.com/
support. This website provides information and utilities that can help you correct many common
printer problems. If prompted, select your country/region, and then click All HP Contacts for
information on calling for technical support.
Paper-feed problems
● Paper is not picked up from a tray
◦ Make sure paper is loaded in the tray. For more information, see Load paper. Fan the
paper before loading.
◦ Make sure the paper-width guides are set to the correct markings in the tray for the paper
size you are loading. Also make sure the paper guides are snug, but not tight, against the
stack.
