Step nine: Align the cartridges

After you insert the cartridges, a message displays indicating that the product is ready for alignment.

Align the cartridges when prompted from the printer control panel
The printer prompts you to align the cartridges each time you install or replace a cartridge.

note:
If you remove and reinstall the same cartridge, the printer will not prompt you to realign the cartridge. The alignment values for the cartridge are recorded in the printer from the first alignment.
1. Make sure that you have letter or A4 unused plain, white paper loaded in the input tray, and then press OK.
  
  note:
  If you have colored paper loaded in the input tray when you align the cartridges, the alignment fails. Load unused plain, white paper into the input tray, and then try the alignment again by restarting it from the control panel.
2. Wait for the alignment page to print, and then examine the page. The alignment page should have black and blue print areas, and the print areas should be sharp and clear, with no fading or streaking.

3. Lift the lid, place the top of the alignment page face-down on the left front corner of the scanner glass, and then close the lid.
