Installing print cartridges
Aligning print cartridges
The HP All-in-One prompts you to align cartridges every time you install or replace a print cartridge. You can also align the print cartridges at any time from the control panel or by using the software you installed with the HP All-in-One. Aligning the print cartridges ensures high-quality output.
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
Make sure the print carriage moves to the center. If it does not move to the center, turn the device off and then turn it back on again.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the copper-colored contacts or re-tape the cartridges.
