If printed ruled lines are misaligned or print results are otherwise unsatisfactory, adjust the print head position.
 Note
 You can also adjust the print head position using a Windows PC or a Mac.
If the remaining ink level is low, the print head alignment sheet will not be printed correctly. Replace the ink tank whose ink is low.
If you run out of the supplied paper (Matte Photo Paper MP-101) or the specified Canon genuine paper is not immediately available or obtainable, you can use plain paper and align the print head manually using a Windows PC or a Mac.
The print head alignment pattern is printed in black and blue.
