Step 8 — Ali gn Your Black and Color Print Cartridges

Before you start using your HP Color Copier, you need to align the black and color print cartridges to ensure the best copy quality.

When you turn on your HP Color Copier for the first time, you will see the message “Initializing,” followed by the message “Press Resume to Align Cartridges” on the front panel display.

1Press the Select/Resume button.

The copier prints a page with two sets of paired lines on it. A set of numbered, horizontal lines appears at the top of the page, and a set of vertical lines, each with a unique letter, appears at the bottom of the page.

The mid-range number for horizontal alignment appears on the front panel display.

2Look closely at the set of horizontal bars, and determine which set of black and color lines is aligned the best.

3Select the number that represents the best horizontal alignment pattern on the front panel display, and press Select/Resume.

If necessary, use the Plus (+) and Minus () buttons on the front panel to change the number on the display.

The mid-range number for vertical alignment appears on the front panel display.
