Aligning the print cartridges

You must use the printer software to align the black, tri-color,
and photo print cartridges each time you replace or reinstall a
print cartridge. This ensures that the black and tri-color inks are
aligned when used together on the same line of text or within
the same picture.

1

Make sure the printer is on and the Power light is lit.

2

Be sure the printer’s IN tray contains plain paper.

3

Open the

HP DeskJet Toolbox

. (Go to “The HP DeskJet

Toolbox” on page 54.)

4

Click the

Printer Services

tab. Then click

Align the Print

Cartridges

. Follow the directions on the computer screen.

Maintaining your printer

Use a soft cloth moistened with water to wipe off dust,
smudges, and stains.

The interior of the printer does not require cleaning. Keep
fluids away from the interior of the printer.

Do not lubricate the rod on which the print cartridge cradles
move. Noise is normal when the cradle is moving back and
forth within the printer, when the printer is new. With use, the
printer will become quieter.
