Hello @Ogla,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

first try these suggested solutions here: Fixing Poor Print Quality 
Keywords: cleaning page and calibration

Then also check the toner levels. Print an accessory status page.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Thank you for replying to my post. Actually it's not about poor quality, but bad quality of printing just when printing in black. In color the copying and printing result is perfect, while in black the printed text is re-printed faded on the low part of the page. I 've tried to find an automated printhead cleaning, but with no result.

OK, I understand,
download the manual and search for "supplies information report".

Print it once, scan it and upload here, click on the icon "Insert photos", "Set format = Large", original size.

I suspect a defective black toner cartridge!

Kind Regards

I deleted the image because the image contained the devices serial number!
