Welcome to the HP support community.

 

Clean the printhead

  1. On the printer control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard, and then touch the Setup icon .

  2. Swipe up on the display, and then touch Printer Maintenance.

  3. Touch Clean Printhead, and then touch Continue.

  4. Examine the test page.

  5. If the print quality is unacceptable, touch Clean Again to continue the next level of cleaning. If necessary, repeat these steps for the third cleaning cycle.

    NOTE: 

    If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes before you perform all three levels of cleaning again.

  6. If the print quality is acceptable, touch Done.

Align the printhead

  1. On the printer control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard, and then touch the Setup icon .

  2. Swipe up on the display, and then touch Printer Maintenance.

  3. Touch Align Printhead.

    An alignment page prints.

    Example of an alignment page

  4. Open the scanner lid, place the alignment page on the scanner glass, and then touch Scan. See the engraved guide next to the scanner glass for help loading the alignment page.

    The printer scans the alignment page, and an Alignment Successful message displays on the control panel.

    Placing the alignment page on the scanner glass

  5. Print another Print Quality Diagnostic Page to examine the color blocks in Test Pattern 3 again.
