HP (Hewlett-Packard) PSC 1500 Printer User Manual


 
Note If you remove and reinstall the same print cartridge, the HP All-in-One
will not align the print cartridges. The HP All-in-One remembers the alignment
values for that print cartridge, so you do not need to realign the print cartridges.
To align newly installed print cartridges
1. Make sure you have letter or A4 unused plain white paper loaded in the paper tray.
The HP All-in-One prints a print cartridge alignment sheet.
Note If you have colored paper loaded in the paper tray when you align
the print cartridges, the alignment will fail. Load unused plain white paper
into the paper tray, and then try the alignment again.
If the alignment fails again, you might have a defective sensor or print
cartridge. Contact HP Support. Go to: www.hp.com/support. If prompted,
choose your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on
calling for technical support.
2. Load the print cartridge alignment sheet on the right front corner of the glass with
the top of the page to the right.
3. Press the Start Scan button.
The HP All-in-One aligns the print cartridges. Recycle or discard the print
cartridge alignment sheet.
Clean the print cartridges
Before cleaning the print cartridges, print a self test page. For more information, see
Print a self-test report.
If the self-test report indicates a problem, clean the print cartridges using the HP
Image Zone software. For more information, see the HP Image Zone Help.
If you continue to have problems, clean the print cartridge contacts and the area
around the nozzles. For more information, see the HP Image Zone Help.
