How do I scroll down the screen to get to align my cartridges in the tools section. .The only instructions I see say to use the right and left arrows to do this, but I have no idea where the arrows are, and they are not shown in the instruction book where it shows the parts of the screen. Thanks

Thank you so much. I wasn't using my finger correctly on the screen.. I was able to scroll down to align, but unfortunately it did not solve my problem. My black ink is not printing at all. I have a new HP XL Black cartridge installed, and the ink levels show it is full. The print quality diagnosic show no black at all. The align printout only came out in blue, so I don't know if that means anything or that's what is suppossed to happen. Do you think my new cartridge could be defective?
