If the HP Sprocket prints white diagonal lines down the paper, follow these guidelines to fix the issue.

  • Power on the HP Sprocket and wait until it initializes.
  • Inspect the photo paper for defects. If there are bent, torn, or wrinkled sheets, remove them from the stack.
  • Load the colored card at the bottom of the photo paper stack with its barcode facing down on the paper tray.
  • Place the paper tray cover and then, send a print job from the mobile device.
  • The HP Sprocket calibrates the paper path rollers which is followed by cleaning with the colored card. Then, the photo is printed by the Sprocket.
  • If this, doesn’t solve the issue, perform a firmware upgrade on the Sprocket from your mobile device. Power off the Sprocket.
