Try aligning the print head manually after automatic print head alignment if printing results are not as expected, as when printed ruled lines are misaligned.
Before adjusting the print head position manually, try adjusting the print head position automatically.
We recommend using the same type of paper for print head alignment as for printing.
You will need a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized paper.
