Print quality troubleshooting
The Image Quality Service Best Plot uses the Best Print Mode and is divided
in to three parts as follows:
Diagnostic Part 1: Printhead Reliability Test. The purpose of this test is to
identify which Printhead is faulty.
Diagnostic Part 2: Printhead Alignment Test. This test is designed to check
any color-to-color and bi-directional misalignment the printer may have.
Diagnostic Part 3: Printheads and Paper Advance test. This test is
designed to check whether the Printheads and the Media Advance
Mechanism are working correctly.
2 Image Qualit
y Service Normal Plot. This plot is the same as the Image
Quality Service Best Plot but uses the Normal Print Mode.
3 Advanced Diagnostic Plot.
These tests provide more information of the IQ
defects that we could find in the Image Quality Service plot. For more
information, see
The Advanced Diagnostic Prints on page 1-15.
Considerations for Printing the Diagnostic Print
1 T
he IQ Diagnostic Print prints in A3 and B sizes so you must have media
loade
d (roll or sheet) that is this size or larger.
2 Use the same type of media that the customer was using when they found
the image qualit
y problem.
3 If the customer is using non-HP media and after the Image Quality Test you
st
ill have the same image quality problems, change to genuine HP media
and repeat the Image Quality Test.

Adv
anced Diagnostic procedures which will help you diagnose the problem.
