2. Press Setup.
3. Press to highlight Tools, and then press OK.

The HP All-in-One prints a self-test report, which contains the following information:
•
Product information: includes the model number, serial number, and other
product information.
• Revision information: includes the firmware version number.
• Ink delivery system information: displays the approximate ink level of each
installed ink cartridge, the status of each ink cartridge, the date each cartridge
was installed, and the date each cartridge will expire.
• Print quality pattern: displays six color blocks, representing each of the six
installed cartridges. Solid, even blocks of color indicate there are no print quality
problems. When streaks are displayed or there are missing blocks, clean the print
head using the procedure described in
“Clean the print head” on page 103 . If the
color blocks still show print quality problems after cleaning the print head, align
the printer using the procedure described in
“Align the printer” on page 102 . If
the color blocks continue to show print quality problems after cleaning and
aligning, contact HP support.
• History log: contains information that might be used for diagnostic purposes if
you need to call HP support.
