To clean the print cartridges
Clean the print cartridges when you notice that lines or dots are missing from your printed text
and graphics.
1 At the DOS prompt, type DJCP, and then press enter. The Control Panel appears
2 Select Clean Print Cartridge, and then follow the instructions on your computer screen
Do not clean the print cartridge unnecessarily, as this wastes ink and shortens the print cartridge
life. If you suspect that dried ink is clogging the print cartridge, refer to the Troubleshooting
section of your user’s guide.
To align the print cartridges
Your HP DeskJet 890C will provide the best possible print quality with the cartridges aligned.
You should align the print cartridges whenever a cartridge is installed. This ensures that black
and color inks will align when printed together on the same text, line, or graphic.
1 At the DOS prompt, type DJCP, and then press enter. The Control Panel appears
2 Select Align Print Cartridge, and then follow the instructions on your computer screen.
