Manually Aligning the Print Head from the Operation Panel - imagePROGRAF PRO-1000

Solution

If printed ruled lines are misaligned or print results are still not satisfactory after adjusting the print head position automatically, adjust the print head position manually.

 Note

Before adjusting the print head position manually, adjust the print head position automatically. For details on adjusting the print head position automatically, see Aligning the Print Head.

We recommend using the same type of paper for print head alignment as for printing.
