If you are see any of the following, you may need to perform an automatic print head alignment.
Align the print head
-
Replace any ink tanks that are low on ink to make sure the print head alignment sheet prints correctly.
-
Load paper in the lower paper tray (the upper tray isn't used for print head alignment).
-
Turn the printer ON, and open the paper output tray.
-
Press the MENU button on the printer operation panel.
-
Select Setup , then OK.
-
Select Maintenance , then OK.
-
Use the arrow buttons to select Auto head alignment, then OK.
-
Select Yes on the confirmation screen, then OK.
-
The alignment sheet prints, and the print head position adjusts. This takes about four minutes.
Avoid opening the ink cover while the printer is printing.
-
When the completion message appears, press OK to get back to the Maintenance screen.
