HP laserjet p014n

[Guest]

I have a HP 4014n, it prints fine form tray 1 (Manual feed Tray) perfectly, but when printing from tray 2 the prints are very light. I was told that for some reason the paper when feed from tray 2 its not making close enough contact with either teh drum or transfer roller. Does anybody have any ideas?

I dont know who told you that as the paper path for the toner cartridge transfer area is the same whether you are using tray 1 or 2. Obviously they dont know what they are talking about.


Is it doing the same when you print from the control panel or only when you print from the PC? - if it is its printer related. if it doesnt then its software related. Make sure the software you are using has the latest version, upgrade, etc...

What kind of paper are you using? - make sure it is a fresh ream not one thats been sitting out all night. make sure its not inkjet paper or other sub-standard type.

Make sure ECONOMODE is off. - this should be in the settings

Try setting the toner density to a higher level. Does it improve?

Clean paper path - 50% of image problems are caused by dirty path.

Blow out laser scanner-sometimes dust or toner gets into it and blocks the laser enough to create fading.

Replace cartridge.
Replace formatter board.

Hope this helps.
