Hi @Erigga,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding printer!  

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

To manually align the print head on your HP DeskJet 2700, follow these steps:

1. Load Paper

• Make sure you have A4 or Letter-sized plain paper loaded into the input tray of the printer.

2. Press and Hold the "Cancel" Button

• With the printer powered on, press and hold the "Cancel" button (the red button with a triangle inside) on the printer for about 3-5 seconds.

3. Initiate the Alignment Process

• After holding the "Cancel" button, the printer should start printing an alignment page.
• Once the page is printed, do not remove the paper yet.

4. Place the Alignment Page on the Scanner

• Open the printer's scanner lid.
• Place the alignment page (printed by the printer in step 3) face-down on the scanner glass, aligning it with the indicated corner (usually top-left corner).

5. Press the "Resume" Button

• Press the "Resume" button (green button with a checkmark) to begin the alignment process.

6. Wait for Alignment to Complete

• The printer will scan the alignment page and adjust the print head.
• Once done, the alignment process is complete, and the printer should be ready to print without any alignment issues.

If This Doesn’t Work:

• Ensure the cartridges are seated properly, and make sure that the paper is properly aligned in the tray.
• You can also try restarting the printer and repeating the alignment process.
