4    Push back firmly on the cartridge until it snaps securely into
     place.

If the print cartridge moves loosely in the carrier, it is not locked
into place. Repeat this step.

5    Choose the appropriate selection from the Change Cartridge dialog
     box.

6    If you installed an old print cartridge, skip to step 7.

If you installed a new print cartridge, align the printheads.

Align print cartridges

Align the printheads after installing a new print cartridge or if the
black portions of graphics do not align with the color portions.

To align the printheads:

1    From the printer's Control Program, click the Cartridges Tab.

2    Click the Align Cartridges button.

The Align Cartridge dialog box appears on your screen. Depending on the
cartridge combination you have installed in your printer, a test page
with one or more alignment patterns are printed.  Each pattern has a
number under it.

3    From each alignment group on the test page, locate the number
     under the alignment pattern that comes closest to forming a
     perfectly straight line.

4    In the Align Cartridges dialog box, enter the numbers from the
     printed test page (that you chose in step 3) as the appropriate
     alignment settings.

5    After you have entered a number for all of the patterns, click
     OK.

6    Repeat steps 2-5 until the patterns print to your satisfaction.
