If you are installing a black, photo, or gray photo print cartridge, slide it into the
right slot.

8. Close the print cartridge door.

If you installed a new print cartridge, the device prints a print cartridge alignment
page.

9. When prompted, ensure plain white paper is loaded in the input tray, then press OK.
10. The device prints a test page, aligns the print head, and calibrates the printer.

Recycle or discard the page.
A success or failure message appears.

NOTE: If you have colored paper loaded in the input tray when you align the
printer, the alignment will fail. Load unused plain white paper into the input tray,
and then try the alignment again.

11. Press OK to continue.

Align the 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 device
control panel or by using the software you installed with the device. Aligning the print
cartridges ensures high-quality output.

NOTE: If you remove and reinstall the same print cartridge, the device will not
prompt you to align the print cartridges. It remembers the alignment values for that
print cartridge, so you do not need to realign the print cartridges.
