Aligning the Print Head Position Automatically
Print head alignment corrects the installation positions of the print head and improves deviated colors and lines.
This printer supports two head alignment methods: automatic head alignment and manual head alignment. Normally, the printer is set for automatic head alignment. If the printing results of automatic print head alignment are not satisfactory, perform manual head alignment.
The procedure for performing automatic print head alignment is as follows:
Print Head Alignment
-
Open the printer driver setup window.
-
Click Print Head Alignment on the Maintenance tab.
The Start Print Head Alignment dialog box opens.
-
Load one sheet of A4 size or Letter size plain paper into the rear tray.
The number of sheets to be used differs when you manually align the print head.
-
Make sure that the printer is on and click Align Print Head.
The adjustment pattern is printed.
Don't open the scanning unit / cover while printing is in progress.
-
After the adjustment pattern is printed, a message is displayed.
As instructed in the message, load the adjustment pattern onto the platen (scanner glass), and press the Start button on the printer.
Print head alignment starts.
To print and check the current setting, open the Start Print Head Alignment dialog box, and click Print Alignment Value.
