Insert or replace the print cartridge (continued)
3. Close the print cartridge access door.
The idle screen of the printer displays an icon showing the approximate ink level for the installed cartridge (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and nearly empty). No ink­level icon appears if the cartridge is not a genuine HP cartridge.
Each time you install or replace a print cartridge, a message appears on the printer screen asking you to load plain paper so the printer can align the cartridge. This ensures high-quality prints.
When you are not using a print cartridge
Align the cartridge

OK.
2. Follow the onscreen instructions to align the cartridge.
For more information about when to align the cartridge, see Aligning the print

In some countries/regions the cartridge protector is not included with the printer, but comes with the HP Gray Photo cartridge that can be purchased separately. In other countries/regions, the protector is included with the printer.
To insert a cartridge into the cartridge protector, slide the cartridge into the protector at a slight angle and snap it securely into place.
