If your Print Quality Report has defects like the ones in the table above, clean the printhead as follow:

1. Load the printer with regular, unused white paper.
2. Press the Home button on the printer front panel.
3. Press Setup.
4. Press Tools.
5. Select Clean PrintheadTip:
   1. Press the Home button on the printer front panel.
   2. Press Setup.
   3. Press Tools.
   4. Select Clean Ink Smear.
   
   
6. If you finish the cleaning process and still see defects on the Print Quality Report, retry cleaning, especially if you have seen improvement in the Print Quality Diagnostic Pages.
7. If the Print Quality Report still shows defects after a second cleaning, go to the final section of this document to service the printer.
   Special case: If the defect on the Print Quality Report is color variation across the bars (see the table of defects above), and if the problem seems to go away after a cleaning, but then reoccurs in the same location on the color bar the next day:
   1. Check to see if any of the following are true:
      • Prior to the print quality problem, the printer was unused for more than 3 weeks
      • The printer was recently moved or experienced a large temperature shift
      • There was a recent paper jam
      • The print quality problem seems to be getting better as the printer is used (especially if prints with dense backgrounds are printed)
      
      
   2. If none of the conditions above are true, the color problem is likely to reoccur, even if a cleaning fixes it temporarily. Go to the final section of this document to service the printer.
   3. If any of the conditions above are true, a printhead recovery may solve the problem. Contact HP for assistance with this step.

I haven't run anything yet. I'm going to suggest to the only user that goes onsite to do that procedure but was wondering if it could be anything else.

Is there a service manual that shows what to do?

I went through the manual but did not find anything about a docking/capping station? Can it be called something else?
