blurry horizontal lines on my Office Jet 8100

All of a sudden, I started getting poor print quality on some horizontal lines in my documents. It seems to be on the lines with black color. Initially, he would pass on the third or fourth copy of the same document.  As it hasprogressed, it's about everything print.

The test prints streaks see the white.  I swapped the cartridges, clean the print head, but it gets better, it gets worse. Is there maintenance user, I can do, or do I need to take it to a shop?

Thank you.

    HP office jet 6500 model e709a - when I make a copy I get black lines the length of the copy.

    Make sure that the printer is plugged into a wall outlet directly and not in a surge protector. This, often, is the reason for lines appearing in the analyses.

    There is also a document containing information on how to address lines in scans/copies located here.

  • HP Office Jet 3830: New HP3830 printer ignores printing lines

    Brand new Office Jet 3830 installed as wireless today. Installation OK. Problem is that the printer does not print half superior to most of the lines of print. This problem up and down the page. Used tools to align printer (3 times), cleaning cartridge, smear own page, report print quality and all printer is OK. Any ideas on how to solve the problem would be appreciated.

    Thank you for taking the time to look at my problem. I discovered that the printer is configured to print a 'project' and when I changed 'black and white' usually the problem disappeared. But I'll keep your handy proposed remedies where the problem occurs in the future.

    Thanks Allan

    50L4353DB LCD TV - a horizontal black line picture travel and causing blur.

    This problem started tonight on our Toshiba TV, which is two years old next month.

    A black horizontal line on the screen and the image moves and down makes it really hard to read subtitles and so on.

    Connected all the cables out, tv by using the reset menu, still no good.

    Help appreciated.

    Im a noob, a big one at that. I found how to make straight lines, which was not easy but now when I try to make straight lines diagonal it runs always fuzzy. I have a logo that I made with the same result. The two vertical lines are straight and clean, while those who are blurred. Please halp.

    Vertical and horizontal lines follow a line of pixels, diagonal lines only and are often anti-aliasing, they appear jagged. It is the nature of pixel imagery based, unlike such vector used in Illustrator.

  • Portege M800 - horizontal lines on external monitor

    I just bought a number of new M800 (model number - PPM81A-06L01J) and all have second screens connected.

    On all secondary monitors, there are wavy horizontal lines. Secondary monitors are all of different sizes and different brand and model. They are all also on their native resolution and refresh rate. I also got the latest video drivers installed. Any body have an idea as to why this is and how to fix it?

    See you soon

    Brad

    Hello!

    I n t have a Portege M800, but on my Portege M700 I had some problems with the external monitor connected too.
    Here's the story about this:

    I connected the new external monitor for Portege M700 directly with an old VGA cable. Usually it t wasn't a problem for me but I was not satisfied with the quality of the image on the external monitor (a bit blurry) so I started to update the display driver and the BIOS of my Portege M700 but without success.
    Anyway, I tried a bit with Google and here in the forum and I decided to buy a new high-quality VGA cable. I exchanged the cable and what happens? Perfect image quality!

    As you can see, you should always use high quality new cables. Also, make sure that you use the highest screen resolution of the external display (native screen resolution) and set the refresh rate of the screen at 60 Hz.

    Good bye

    Hello

    Connect the external monitor and check if the same lines would be visible on 2nd screen.
    If these lines are not visible, then it means that the internal display may be defective.
    Otherwise, it might be a graphics card problem if line would appear on two screens.

  • answering machine software for HP office jet 6700 premium?

    Hi Windows 8.

    As the office jet 6700 is attached to the phone line is a software feature (or 3rd party software) which allows the PC to act as the answering machine?

    I know that in the old days of dial-up Modem software such has been ubiquitous.

    I just want to cut my old answering machine for the configuration of the installation if possible loop.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Rob.

    Sorry, there is no functionality of software to allow the Pc to act as the answering machine. The answering machine is connected to the printer because it detects the printer calls.

    When a call comes, the printer reacts and reads as follows the line of the signals. He sends the call to the correct line (fax, phone or answering machine). This is the reason why the answering machine is connected to the printer. The computer will not be able to accept or guided calls or pick them up. Thanks for asking though, maybe in the future.

  • Office Jet pro 8610: Office Jet pro 8610 for windows server 2008 R2

    What to do now. Can you please provide?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    The same driver as expected for any operating system like Windows 7 or 8 must be used, however, the installation should be launched via the command line and not as a standard installation.

    Follow these steps to install the software of the printer on a server:

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8610 do not print, but will only fax

    We have a HP Office Jet 8610 Pro and it worked fine until we hung like a fax also Thursday.

    He used to copy, print, scan perfectly but it takes a new fax machine, so we went and bought the phone cord and hung a fax and telephone line with built in answering the Office Jet and the fax jobs, but now it not print a document in Open Office to the printer because she's trying to make a fax cover page.

    I've ran out of ideas can you please help?

    There are two pilots "printer" there, to print, choose the "printer Officejet Pro 8610' instead of the 'Officejet Pro 8610 FAX. Probably, you set another value by default when the fax feature is added, which is for the PC - fax. If you use the print function more often than the fax, make non-fax the default printer.

  • HP Office Jet 8600 Fax (not fax)

    Recently, I asked my web company to change my modem in order to include a telephone line so that I can use my fax on the HP Office Jet function and I have such a misery the fax to work. When I plug the cable from the printer (line 1/2) to the modem (phone line) and I run the fax test, it tells me that there is no dial tone.  Can anyone help!

    It is because this isn't the preferred method for the transmission of faxes. You will probably need a digital filter on the line to improve your chances of send/receive. However, even with this it is not a guarantee for fax technology is designed for a telephone line analog, not who is associated with an internet service.

    This is a documentation on the best ways to set up the fax machine: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/buu50333

    I would certainly try the digital filter on the first line. And if that does not work, or the quality, I would say either using an analog fax line or a digital fax service (both cost about the same amount).

    I hope this information is useful and have a great day!

  • Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus scanning issues

    I had my Office Jet Pro 8600 more for a few months and have been scanning a pretty good volume without problems.  Now, I have what I believe to be a their material.  That's the problem.  I'm getting random LARGE band (broad sense) about 1/2 to 3/4 inch of black, gray, or white streaks down the pages.  I had the problem of cleaning so I cleaned everything, always there, but not every time.  So I raised the lid and set the paper on the glass, guess what still there.  So now I know that it is NOT a problem of cleaning.  Switch papers, always there.  Is not a problem of cleaning, not a charger problems, not paper I'm scanning.  At this point, the only thing I can think is that some of the scanning light is on the fritz.  It seems to do better after a rest and as I said it comes and goes.  Any ideas anyone?   I think that this could be a problem of default.  Please let me know.

    Hey Boefixepa,

    If the printer is to give you a black line when scanning/copying with the ADF and flat, then I would hazard a guess that the printer is connected to a surge protector.  If so, then try the following steps.

    * Unplug the printer while on

    Disconnect the other end of the power cord from the surge protector

    * Wait 60 seconds

    * Plug the printer back to power on a direct outlet

    The 8600 does not need to have a surge between her protector and the wall unit has protection against overvoltages, built in.  Being doubled surge protection can sometimes cause this type of line to appear using the 8600.  I hope this helps.
