9.Close the print cartridge door.

If you installed a new print cartridge, the HP All-in-One prints a print cartridge alignment page.

10.When prompted, ensure plain white 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.

11.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.
