Align the print cartridges
Aligning the print cartridges ensures high-quality output. The HP Photosmart prompts you
to align and calibrate the print cartridges every time you install a new print cartridge. Make
sure you align the print cartridges when prompted to ensure excellent print quality.
NOTE:
If you remove and reinstall the same print cartridge, the HP Photosmart will
not prompt you to align the print cartridges. The HP Photosmart remembers the
alignment values for that print cartridge, so you do not need to realign the print
cartridges.
To align the print cartridges from the control panel when prompted
1.
Make sure you have letter or A4 unused plain white paper loaded in the input tray,
and then press OK.
2.
The HP Photosmart prints a test page, aligns the print head, and calibrates the printer.
Recycle or discard the page.
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.
To align the print cartridges from the HP Photosmart Software
1.
Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the input tray.
2.
In the HP Solution Center, click Settings, point to Print Settings, and then click
Printer Toolbox.
NOTE:
You can also open the Printer Toolbox from the Print Properties dialog
box. In the Print Properties dialog box, click the Services tab, and then click
Service this device.
