Troubleshooting
Printer displays 'Non-HP Cartridge' error
This is a common notification for compatible cartridges. You can typically bypass this by selecting 'OK' or 'Continue' on the printer's display screen to resume printing.
Vertical streaks on the page
Remove the cartridge and gently shake it to redistribute the internal toner. If streaks persist, use a lint-free cloth to gently wipe the printer's transfer roller.
Light or faded print quality
Check the printer menu for 'Print Density' settings and increase the value, or check if the printer is set to a 'Draft' or 'EconoMode' printing profile.
