To align the print cartridges from the HP Solution Center Software
1. Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the input tray.
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.

Clean the print cartridges
Use this feature when the self-test report shows streaking, white lines through any of the
lines of color or when a color is muddy after installing a print cartridge for the first time.
Do not clean print cartridges unnecessarily, as this wastes ink and shortens the life of the
ink nozzles.
To clean the print cartridges from the control panel
1. Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the input tray.
2. Press Setup.
3. Press 6, then press 1.
This selects Tools and then selects Clean Print Cartridge.
The HP All-in-One prints a page that you can recycle or discard.
If copy or print quality still seems poor after you clean the print cartridges, try cleaning
the print cartridge contacts before replacing the affected print cartridge.
