Align the ink cartridges

The HP All-in-One prompts you to align cartridges every time you install or replace an ink cartridge. You can also align the ink cartridges at any time from the device control panel or by using the software you installed with the device. Aligning the ink cartridges ensures high-quality output.

NOTE: If you remove and reinstall the same ink cartridge, the device will not prompt you to align the ink cartridges. It remembers the alignment values for that ink cartridge, so you do not need to realign the ink cartridges.

To align the cartridges from the product control panel

1.Load letter or A4, unused, plain white paper in the input tray. For more information, see Load media.

NOTE: If you have colored paper loaded in the input tray when you align the ink cartridges, the alignment will fail. Load unused plain white paper into the input tray, and then try the alignment again.

2.Press the (Setup) button on the product control panel.
