To align the print cartridge from the camera
NOTE: Some cameras have a menu option that allows you to align the print cartridge
from the camera. If your camera menu offers this choice when the camera is
connected to the printer, you may prefer to use this method to align the print cartridge.
For more information, see the documentation that came with your camera.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on.
2. Load paper in the input tray. HP recommends using HP Advanced Photo Paper for

3. Connect the PictBridge camera to the printer and make sure the camera is turned on.
4. On your camera image display, select the alignment option from the Maintenance
menu and follow the prompts.
When the printer finishes aligning the cartridge, it prints an alignment page to confirm that
the alignment was successful.
• The check marks verify that the print cartridge is installed correctly and functioning
properly.
• If an “x” is displayed to the left of any of the bars, align the print cartridge again. If the
“x” is still displayed, replace the print cartridge.
