The step to step actions are given on HP site but I am just copy pasting it here for you: Follow these steps to replace and align the cartridges. Step one: Replace the cartridge

Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product, if it is not already turned on. Wait until the product is idle and silent before continuing.
Load plain white paper, if you have not already done so.
Open the cartridge access door. The carriage moves to the center of the product. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before continuing.
Open the cartridge access door
Lightly press down on the cartridge to release it, and then pull the cartridge out to remove it from its slot.
Remove the new cartridge from its packaging, and then pull the pink pull tab to remove the plastic tape.
Hold the cartridge by its sides with the nozzles toward the product, and then insert the cartridge into its slot. Make sure that the icon on the cartridge matches the icon on the slot.
- The tri-color cartridge ( ) goes in the slot on the left
- The black cartridge ( ) goes in the slot on the right
Push the cartridge forward into its slot until it snaps into place.
Close the cartridge access door.
Wait about 30 seconds for the alignment page to automatically print.

Step two: Align the cartridges

Lift the scanner lid.
Place the alignment page with the printed-side down on the right-front corner of the scanner glass. See the engraved guide next to the scanner glass for help loading the alignment page.
Close the scanner lid.
Press the Start Copy Black button ( ) to begin the scan. The product automatically aligns the cartridges.
Wait until the Power light ( ) stops blinking, which indicates that the cartridge alignment is complete.
