To improve print quality 1. Make sure you are using original HP ink cartridges. 2. Check the printer software to make sure you have selected the appropriate paper type from the Media drop-down list and print quality from the Quality Settings drop-down list. ● In the printer software, click Print, Scan & Fax and then click Set Preferences to access the print properties. 3. Check the estimated ink levels to determine if the cartridges are low on ink. For more information, see Check the estimated ink levels on page 50. If the ink cartridges are low on ink consider replacing them. 4. Check the paper type. For best print quality, use high quality HP paper, or papers that adhere to the ColorLok® standard. For more information, see Paper basics on page 6. Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper. Store specialty paper in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag. This prevents the photo paper from curling. 5. Align the cartridges. To align the cartridges from the printer software NOTE: Aligning the cartridges ensures the high-quality output. The HP All-in-One prompts you to align the cartridges every time you install a new cartridge. If you remove and reinstall the same ink cartridge, the HP All-in-One will not prompt you to align the ink cartridges. The HP All-in-One remembers the alignment values for that ink cartridge, so you do not need to realign the ink cartridges. a. Load letter or A4 unused plain white paper into the paper tray. b.
