Hi, Wonder can you help my printer keeps printing off test page everytime it is turned on. this is only happening since i changed the cartridge, never did this before. thanks

Hi,

Your printer is printing alignment pages, because the cartridge alignment was not completed since you replaced them. Follow the below steps to complete alignment.

Turn the printer OFF and then turn back ON.
Wait until the alignment sheet prints out fully.
Place the alignment test page over the scanner glass.
Press start color scan button.
The printer "power" light will start flashing, indication the alignment process.
After the printer stops flashing, turn off and then ON the printer.It will not print any test pages further.

We need to run alignment test every-time while we replace ink cartridges.

Regards
Riztech

Everytime I turn my HP PhotosmartC3180 on, it prints a test page.

I think probably it's a print alignment page, if you read the page it will probably give you instructions to place the page on to the scanner at the top and press a button for it to scan and automatically set the alignment. Do so and it should fix it :)

My printer keeps printing the test page every time it's switched on

Unplug the printer and leave it for three minutes and then plug it back in. This will reboot it and it may cure the problem.

Automatically prints

Print the test page and place it into the scanner, remember to place the paper in the correct direction. Then press the start scan button on the printer. Let the scanner do the scan and if it is successful, the printer is ready for use. If it failed, then the orange led for check paper will flash slowly. If every thing is done in the correct sequence but get failed from time to time, then you may need to get the scanned image of the test page to see what the scanner is seeing.

Test Page Prints Everytime Printer Cuts On

this is happen when you install an new catridge or refill one printer is automatically adjust the catridge by alingment so you do one thing when you switch on printer and it will print something just read the instrction and follow them bcoz you need to setup the alingment thing . when the print is come out just place it in to the scanner and just press the scan button the printer will store the setting and next time not print the extra page bcoz the setup is completed.

bye

Printer prints test page each time printer is turned on

There may be something initialised to print a test page everytime it starts, just remove printer, uninstall driver and re start. Re install drivers and connect printer when prompted or when installation has finished. This should revert to default settings.
