alignment issues Color Laser Printer M281fdw

[dave487]

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix the alignment issue on my HP Color Laser Printer M281fdw?

Colors are inline with each other but the black is way out of alignment. Might look okay if your wearing 3D glasses!

Any help wuld be appriciated.

Calibrate the printer to align the colors-

Follow these steps to resolve print-quality problems such as misaligned color, colored shadows, blurry graphics, or other print-quality issues.

1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, select the Setup menu.

2. Select the following menus:

● System Setup ● Print Quality ● Color Calibration ● Calibrate Now

3. A Calibrating message will display on the printer control panel. The calibration process takes a few minutes to complete. Do not turn the printer off until the calibration process has finished. Wait while the printer calibrates, and then try printing again.

To resolve print quality issues, you can also refer to the User Manual(pages 116-124)

Additionally, you can also update the printer firmware and see if that helps. Refer to this link for help on the firmware update.

Let me know the outcome.

Cheers 🙂
