HP J5740, J5750, J5780, J5788 Clean the print cartridges

Chapter 11

To align the print cartridges from the HP Solution Center Software

1.Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the input tray.

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.

If the alignment fails again, you might have a defective sensor or print cartridge. Contact HP Support. Go to www.hp.com/support. If prompted, choose your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical support.

2.In the HP Solution Center, click Settings, point to Print Settings, and then click Printer Toolbox.

NOTE: You can also open the Printer Toolbox from the Print Properties dialog box. In the Print Properties dialog box, click the Services tab, and then click Service this device.

The Printer Toolbox appears.

3.Click the Device Services tab.

4.Click Align the Print Cartridges.

The HP All-in-One prints a print cartridge alignment sheet.

5.Load the print cartridge alignment sheet print side down and top first in the center of the document feeder tray, and then press OK.

The HP All-in-One aligns the print cartridges. Recycle or discard the print cartridge alignment sheet.

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.

To clean the print cartridges from the control panel

1.Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the input tray.

2.Press Setup.

3.Press 6, then press 1.

This selects Tools and then selects Clean Print Cartridge. The HP All-in-One prints a page that you can recycle or discard.

If copy or print quality still seems poor after you clean the print cartridges, try cleaning the print cartridge contacts before replacing the affected print cartridge.
