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
1. Make sure you have letter or A4 unused plain white paper loaded in the input tray.
The HP All-in-One prints a print cartridge alignment sheet.
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.
