NOTE: If you remove and reinstall the same print cartridge, the HP All-in-One will not prompt you to align the print cartridges. The HP All-in-One remembers the alignment values for that print cartridge, so you do not need to realign the print cartridges.

To align newly installed print cartridges

1.When prompted, ensure plain white letter or A4 paper is loaded in the input tray, then press the button next to OK.

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

2.Place the page print side down on the scanner glass and then press the button next to OK to scan the page.

When the On button stops flashing, the alignment is complete and the page can be removed.

Clean the print cartridges

Use this feature when the self-test report shows streaking, white lines through any of the lines of color or when a color is muddy after installing a print cartridge for the first time. Do not clean print cartridges unnecessarily, as this wastes ink and shortens the life of the ink nozzles.
