when printing a test page, the color is way off, it has blue lines and light in color. Ink is full. How do I get to the setting to adjust the test page?

Wiz- Hold the cartridge upside down, with the bar-code label facing you.
- Take a damp paper towel and use it to wipe the printhead of the cartridge on the bottom (where the ink comes out). Wipe the printhead horizontally in one direction only (left to right).
- Continue doing this until the printhead looks clean.
- Then dab the cartridge on the towel to make sure the ink is flowing.
- Next, look inside the printer and locate the carrier that holds ink cartridges. Caution: Make sure the cartridges are not installed at this point.
- Look for a shiny piece of metal underneath the contacts at the back of the carrier.
- Take a damp cotton swab (use water only!) and wipe along the bottom of the shiny metal piece. Note: You may need more than one swab.
Repeat the process to improve the results in the test page.....
